From the July 31, 1902 edition of Iron Age
The Liggett Spring and Axle Company, manufacturers of high-grade carriage and wagons springs and axles, whose plant is now located in Allegheny, Pennsylvania are going ahead rapidly with their plans for building a new works near Monongahela City. The company have secured at this place at tract of 150 acres, on which the new plant will be built, and the main building will be 600 feet long. Contracts have been given to the McClintic-Marshal Construction Company, Park Building, Pittsburgh, PA., for the erection of the buildings, all of which will be of steel, except the boiler house. The Coshocton Iron Company, recently organized at Pittsburgh, and who are a constituent interest of the Liggett Spring and Axle Company, will also direct the plant on this new track.
I was cleaning out a barn yesterday and found an old metal sign…it is from the Liggett company. Was looking for info, thanks!
Hi Tony, could you take a picture of it? I’d love to post it here on lost Monongahela. If you are interested just send it to lostmonongahela at gmail dot com.
Tonya,
Would love a look, too. My ancestor lived near Albert Gallatin’s property.

Sorry for the wait. Did not realize the reply, and thought I had left my email.
