This little work was compiled with the object in view of giving the general public a book of reference per- taining to the various business interests of the city of Bradford, combined with useful information of all kinds, and in a form which would be most convenient. As the work of compiling progressed various ideas were sug- gested which have been carried out, with the result that the amount of information herein contained is far ''eater than at first contemplated. The "'Historical )tes " will be found a most handy and interesting por- t= jii of the work, touching, as they do, most of the im- portant events in the historji* of the city, and being a review of the happenings which have transpired from i le time vhe Tuna Valley was a wilderness to the present ousy days. The railroad information, too, will be at least interesting, if not of practical value, to every one. For the Businnss Directory it can only be said that great care has been taken in the canvass of all the business interests now being conducted in the city, not to over- lo^'- a single one, and if such an oversight lias occurred it has been unintentional. THE PUBLISHER. HISTORICAL BRAOFDRD, MckEAN COUNTY. McKean county is bounded on the north by the New York-Pennsylvania line : on the east by Potter county ; on the south by Elk and Cameron counties ; on the west bv Warren county. The city of Bradford is situ- ated w'ithin a few miles of the northern line of Mc- Kean countv. and about midway between Warren and Potter counties. It stands at' the confluence of the East and West Branches of the Tuna, a tributary- of the Allegheny river. In 18,^,7 Col. I.ittle purchased 250.000 acres in and around Bradford, and tuilta log house. In 1S3S the village was .surveyed and named Littleton. In 1S51 Daniel Kingsbun,- purchased a large tract of land from the United State.s Land com- pany, and became most active and untiring in his de- termination to develop the resources of the village, and found a city. In 1S5S he had the name Littleton changed to Bradford, and with J. K. HafTey and others estab- lished the Bradford Miner, to as.sist'in building up the new city. In 1S73 the people asked forborout^h govern- ment and the demand was granted. From this time forward the valley- was a scene of the wildest activity. Busy men from all parts of the world crowded into the town in search of fortunes, in the form of petroleum. Thousands of derricks grew up. and all kinds of build- ings sprung up like reeds. In iSSo there were eight large brick buildings erected, among them the Riddell House. Over five hundred new dwellings were built and a number of new streets laid out. Since that time the wonderful growth of the city has ceased to become a matter of local histor}-. To-da-r Bradford is a citv of which its citizens are proud. ANTI-BELLLM DAYS. Little has ever been written of a historical nature of those early days on the Tunungwant. and before the beginning of the oil excitement. It is generally sup- posed that Bradford, before the discover},- of oil. was an unknown wilderness. As far as being a wilderness, it might be called that, but it was not unknown. A brief sketch of those days is here given, which was kindly furnished by e.v-Mayor Loyal Ward, who speaks of them as anti-bellum days. Mr. Ward came to Kendall from the Springville. 1 N. Y. ) Academy in the winter of 1S49-50. to teach the Kendall Creek School. Kendall was at that time the great lumber centre of the Tuna valley. The people were most enterpn.sing and intelli- gent. Methodist. Baptist and Congregational churches were established. The .schools Mr. Ward found to be of a higher order than those of his native state. In fact he says that plenty of cheek, a silk hat and strait bodied coat was what carried him through. A vast amount of wealth was centured in the valley. Wealthy, educated men were engaged in the lumber business. John F. Melvin an educated and highly cultured gentleman, (the father of C. C. and F. J. Melviii) was associated with Judge Chamberlain in the hiniber and mercantile business. S W. Bradley with Mr. Fa}', of Cincinnati, were very prominent men, and large dealers and man- ufactvirers of lumber. Fuller I'fe Miller, Leach & John- ston. William Fisher, Nathan UeGolier, Mr. Webb, Mr. Moore, Frank Irvine, Mr. Fuller, John Whipple. H. W. Barr, Holmes & Porter, Mr. Sutton and others were all engaged in the lumber bu.siness. In fact the woods was full of lumber men. Daniel Kingsbury was the central figure. He was the svxccessor to the United States L,and Company, and was al.so extensively en- gaged in the lumber bu.siness and afterwards was in- strumental in establishing the McKean County- Bank, on the corner of Main and Congress streets. Col. Little, who came to the valley as the agent of the United States Land Company, was also a ver}' prominent citi- zen. The people lived high, money was plenty and poverty was unknown. The lumber, shingles, lath and square timber were rafted and floated out on the Tunungwant creek and on down the Allegany river to Pittsburg, Cincinnati. Louisville and points further south. One of the grandest sights in nature. Mr. Ward says, were these hills, overtopped with mas.sive Wey- moth pines '^hutting out all other growth, and almost constanth' I'ocking and .swaj-ing. Game was plenty. Not an uncommon sight was that of deer feeding in the back fields. In the spring of the year, at high water time, it took an army of men to get the lumber out to the Allegany i-iver. Raftsmen came from all parts to work. And these raftsmen were not without their sport. One night a nvimber of them gathered at Rice's Hotel, and could not get beds to sleep in. So to pass the night pleasantly they made the landlord a pris- oner and took a barrel of whisfcy out and set it on the counter appointing one of their number to act as bar- tender. The whole barrel was finished before daylight, and the reader can see their finish. Another time C. C. Melvin and a few other .sinners were taken to the edge of a raft, somewhat again.st their will, and baptised by immersion in the water of the creek. As to whether anj^ one of them have ever become back- sliders Judge Ward cannot say. HISTORICAL NOTES. McKean county was organized in 1804. The Burt House fire occurred June 19, 18S4.

In iS6i several drillers commenced operations on the Tuna and placed a sign on their derrick bearing the inscription, '"Oil, Hell or China." The venture did not prove a success, as neither "Oil, Hell or China," was dis- covered. John F. Melvin, father of C. C. and Thos. J. Melvin and Mrs. C. H. Foster and Mrs. Loyal Ward, was mar- ried to Miss Lucretia Farr, a daughter of Isaac Farr, on July 12, 1828. This is supposed to have been the first wedding in the valley. In 1S47 Sabinas Walker applied for a license to sell liquor. Walker was the first liquor dealer in the valley. He was the landlord of the old Farmers' Hotel w^hich is still a landmark at the corner of Fast Main sti^eet and Kendall avenue. Albert DeGolier made his entrance into the valley in 1S36. mounted on the back of an old farm horse, along with Mrs. Fdson, coming from Smethport. The road they journeyed over was nothing more than a cow path, and at the time covered with snow. The Tuna Valley Bank was established in 1875, by Whitney & Wheeler, and owing to the panic of 1884 was forced to close its doors. The bank declai'ed the final dividend, which was paid to creditoi-s with in- terest, in Februaiy, 1886. The only loseis being the projectors. In 1853 a company was organized in Buffalo, N. Y., to build a railroad from that city to Bradford, and through to Pittsburg. The road was to be known as the Buffalo, Bradford & Pittsburg Railway. Con.siderable work was done at several points along the proposed route, but finally the project fell through. On May 5, 1895, word was received from Glen Hazel to send assistance as a big lumber mills fire was raging. A delegation of the fire department including the "Fmeiy" steamer, in charge of Chief McAllister re- sponded. The mill owners generously donated $325 to the boys for their valuable assistance. About the first menton of oil was in 440 B. C, by Hero- dotus, in writing of the black oil of Anderrica. In 1867 oil was discovered by a French missionary. Fere Joseph De la Roche, who called the Cuba oil spring in Allegany, just over the New Yoi'k line, La Fontaine de bituma. One of the most exciting days in Bradford was in May, 1879. when news was received that Hon. Lewis Emeiy, Jr., had been assaulted by Senator Elliott, of Philadelphia, on the floor of the Senate. The cause of the trouble was the opposition of Mr. Emery to a bill taxing rigs and oil. An indignation meeting was held in the Oil Exchange and the Senator's .stand in the matter endorsed. The attempted robbery of the Bradford National Bank occurred on March f, 1888. Geo. A. Kimball, wearing a mask over his face, entered the bank and leaping over the railing, shot Cashier Tomlinson, and seizing about $600, escaped to the street, pursued by a 10 lara^e crowd. Seeing he could not escape he tui'ued and fatally shot Louis Bleich. then placing the weapon to his owii head he fired and died almost instantly. The burning of the business blocks on the corner of Main and Mechanic streets, opposite public square, and which extended from the Conneely Hotel along Mechanic and around on Main street to Malter Hall, occurred on January 13, 1S95 It was at this fire that John Crosby, of the Potter Hose Co., contracted the cold which finally resulted in his death. It was a ter- ribly cold and .stormy .Sunday morning, the thermom- eter registering 14 degrees below zero. The Bradford Po.stoffice is considered a rich plum and at every change of administration a dozen or more applicants are after it. it is the distributing station for a large section of country, and many towns, such as Olean, Eldred and Smeth'port, report to this office. But a few old citizens remember the Bradford po.stoffice when it was not .so pretentious. Sixty years ago the po.stoffice consisted of a five-pound raisin box, which was kept under a bed in William Fisher's house. When a man called for his mail Fisher, who was postmaster, would pull out the box, adjust his eye glasses, and in- spect the bundle it contained. NEWSPAPERS OF BRADFORD. The Bradford Miner was first issued on March 12. 1858, by Sam C. Crime, ^ix months later he was succeeded by Daniel Kingsbury, J. K. Haffey and others. The paper was moved to Smethport in 1863, where it is still published under the title of the McKean County Miner by Burt Olson. The New Era was founded at Bradford in 1875 by J. K.

S. Johnson, administrator, succeeded to the management and became president of the company whi'-h position he filled up to the time of his death. Mr. R. B. Stone was next elected president and still acts in that capacity. Mr. Stone's connection with the paper has been somehow contin- uous since Its foundation. The Petroleum Age was first issued December. 1882, bv W. J. McCuUough and A. J. Carr. In August. 1883. Mr. A. L. Snell purchased the Petroleum Age, with J. C. McMullen and W. C. Armor as partners.

Nntural ytis at a lew cents per thousand feet. Its sup- ply praetically inexhaustible. We have upwards of forty thousand' acres of undeveloped gixs territory; we are very savinj; in its use and the supply should hist at least fifty years. Beiui: "praetically in the center of the great coal fields of Pennsylvania we can supply coal to the factories at an approximate figure of $1.1.5 per ton. Our shipping facilities are of the best. We are on Buffalo rates rates each way. We have six railroads en- tering the city. For wood-working factories Bradford offers many ad- vantages, being located in the center of thousands of acres of virgin forests, which should save thousands of dollars in freightage. Bradford is one of the best location for factories in the iron and steel industry. The iron ore can be delivered at the factory here as "cheap as at any of the lake points, and with the use of cheap natural gas for fuel gives Bradford great advantage over other cities. Bradford is an excellent poi-it for the location of woolen mills, knitting mills and silk factories, wnich re- quirr female help. Having iu)ne such here at present employing this kind of help it can be readily seen thai we could sup .ly a few concerns of this kind For the manufacture of glass we claim superior facili- ties over any other loc.ition in the United States. With natural gas and coal for fuel, low freight rates, and our proximity to the large (!astern markets, the western fa,c- tories cannot compete for the eastern trade, We have at our very doors some of the best glass sand in the United States, which shows over 99 per cent, pure silica. This sand can be had practically without cost, merely the crushing, cartag^^, and seiving to its proper mesh. One (if the most important industries which we have, and which should be doubled and tripled, is the brick in- dustry. We have without a doubt the finest shales and claysto be found for the manufacture of brick, from the paving brick to the finest of pressed brick. Our brick took the first premium at the World's Fair in 1893, and can be found in some of the largest and most expensive ottice. store and residence buildings in the United States. Our vitrified brick, which was tested by the United States Ordnance Department at Wati'rvliet Arsenal, Famniil, Mass., st od anopeiT pressure of twenty-five tons, and is pronounced by experts as the best brick made. Our brick will also take a most excellent enamel and is by experts pronounced superior to the English enameled brick, as well as those made in New Jersey and Canada. The factories that we have at present in this line are ex- ceedingly prosperous and continually increasing their cap.acity. The field in this line is iiractically unlimileil and till- trade could use tlie output of many more fac- tories m:iking this superior quality of brick. The Board of Trade and citizens of Bradford are ex- 25 ceedingly enterprising and take great pleasure in lur- thering the interests of its manufacturing industries. They are liberal in their inducements to get factories to locate in our rapidly growing city and anyone desiring to go into any kind of manufacturing busi- ness, or factories that desire a change in location should not lose the opportunity of thoroughly in- vestigating the many and highly important induce- ments which our thriving city throws open to cap- ital which is seeking investment and location in the manufacturing line. We practically offer free fuel, which is a heavy item to all mjinufacturing concerns, and with our exceedingly low freight rates. p]ast. West. Nortli and South, our city should grow so fast that within the next ten years we should be known throughout tlie United States and continent as one of the greatest man- ufacturing cities in this country. The Hoard of Trade will be pleased to hear from individuals or firms desiring to change their locations, or jjarties desiring to start in the manufacturing business and will give them at the present time special inducement to locate in our city. No firm can afford to start a new factory, or change their present location without consulting the Bradford Board of Trade. MARVELOUS GROWTH OF THE CITY. From the time when Col. Little selected the present site of Bradford as a more favorable point for a town than either Kendall or Limestone, which was in 1837, calling it Litteton, and up to the present time, there has been a constant growth; naturally slow at first, in those daj's when railroads were unknown and even wagon roads were scarce and these hardly deserving the name, but gradually, as these obstacles were re- moved, increasing each year until about 1855 when affairs in this valley took on new life and vigor and for the next few years there was a concerted effort on ''iC part of the business men to boom the town, t- j^y^ the town became a borough. In 1875 wa-- .ae real com- mencement of the wonderful ^^- ..in of Bradford. It was at this time that Hm^ I^ewis Enieiy. Jr., struck a large well at To-' ■■ i.uiiovv. Then came the ''oil excite- ment" a'' ^ .rom that on there has been no lagging in ■^'-c aavancement of all business interests. On January 14, 1879. a cit3^ charter was granted. And what a city is Bradford to-day! Elegant brick business blocks are being erected each year. Magnificent homes have sprung up and adorn the residence streets of the city. The streets that are not already paved are being so at a rapid rate, there being now over seven miles, and almo.st all of vitrified brick. Four raih'oads making it po.ssible to start on a journey in any direction at almost any hour of the day. Street railway service. And rapidly nearing completion a $30,000 city building. The people are citified in their manners and customs. A .stranger in the citj' observes this at once. The business houses wear a city-like appearance. One of the hand- somest streets one could wish to see is Main street at 26 night, each store being brilliantly illuminated and the window displays something that cannot help but at- tract the eye. The .streets thronged with people at any hour of the day and far into the night. And the most sociable people to be found in the world. Bradford gives promise of one day. and that not far away, of being a city of 30,000 population. BRADFORD BOARD OF TRADE. The Bradford Board of Trade is a corporation, organ- ized at Bradford, Pa., in 18S2. and which was granted a charter and certificate of corporation on December 19, 1882. for the purpose of protecting, festering and de- veloping the commercial, manufactui-ing and business interests of the city of Bradford by joint and concerted action. Recently the Grocers' Union joined the organi- zation and a large number of prominent citizens have become members. New life and energy will be in- fused into the work of the board and a determined eflfort will be made to bring a number of new industries to Bradford. A. J. Edcett. President. F. K.

It is estimated that the combined monthly pay rolls of the different railroads in Bradford is over $50,000. In 1863 an ordinary hand-car was used to convey pas- sengers, baggage and freight from Bradford to Carrollton and back. This was afterward improved on in the shape of a home-made train. The necessary car wheels were secured and an ordinary combination boiler and engine rigged up on a flat car, which by an ingenious arrange- ment of shafts, pulleys and belts, furnished the motive power. 44 1 27 1 42 1 65 1 74 1 90 1 96 2 15 Fare. 30 35 52 70 87 93 1 02 1 11 1 31 1 37 1 56 1 67 1 71 1 75 1 92 2 12 2 37 2 53 2 62 2 81 2 90 3 03 3 06 3 24 3 32 3 40 3 42 DISTANCE AND FARE FROM BRADFORD TO ONE IMPORTANT CITY IN ANY STATE IN THE UNION.-VIa B.
