Julius Hotchkiss

Edward C. Smith

Working Dates:1878-81.

     This company succeeded the Star Tool Co. In the 1875-77 City Directories Julius Hotchkiss was listed as President of the Star Tool Co. and Secretary Edward C. Smith. Also, Julius was listed as President of the Airline Railroad. I don't know if they made tools under their company name or continued to use the Star Mark. The company was listed as Tool Manufacturers and as iron and brass founders located at Zoar south of Pamecha pond in the 1877 city directory.  Map J.
