Iroquois China Company was founded in 1905 in Solvay, New York, located on the western border of Syracuse near the southern shores of Onondaga Lake. ==History== Iroquois China Company was founded in July 1905, by J. Brewster Gere of Syracuse and Lemont Stillwell of Solvay. The company was established after a failed pottery enterprise, Syracuse China Company, went bankrupt and both the plant and equipment were offered for sale in the bankruptcy proceedings. Gere and Stillwell decided to purchase the plant because it was offered for $27,000, a fraction of the $90,000 that Syracuse China Company paid for construction of the building. Papers of incorporation with capital of $75,000 were sent to Albany, New York, the capital of New York State in July 1905.〔 At that time, six carpenters were employed by the pottery. They built pottery benches and fastened the machinery and readied the plant for opening day. Three kilns were operational and it was decided that the completion of another three kilns would be withheld until the company showed profits.〔 Richard Sweeting was the first superintendent and made the decision to begin production before September 1, 1905.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iroquois China Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
