THE
DELAWARE CHAIR COMPANY is the largest manufacturing establishment in Delaware,
and among the largest in Central Ohio. This corporation was organized and
commenced business in 1870, on the present site, in a frame building 32 x 60
feet, two stories high, receiving their power from an adjacent planing mill,
through the medium of an endless wire cable. Ten hands were employed, with a
monthly payroll of about $200. From this small beginning their business has
steadily increased, with a constantly growing demand for their chairs, until
they find themselves cramped for room and facilities to meet the volume of
orders that is crowding in upon them. This, too, not withstanding the fact that
they have increased their capacity until, from the small beginning, they have
grown to occupy a building 74 x 100 feet, two and one-half stories high, and
employ about one hundred and fifty hands, with a monthly payroll of about
$2,500. In 1879, the Company put in their own steam power, and, from the
limited variety of fourteen styles of split bottoms, they have grown to the
production of 100 different patterns of cane seat chairs. At the Centennial
Exhibition in 1876, they were awarded the first grand prize medal and diploma
for the utility, strength, comfort, and cheapness of their chairs.
The Company is composed of T. E. Powell, A.
Lybrand, R. G. Lybrand and S. Lybrand.
The latter is general correspondent and
financial agent, and R. G. Lybrand business manager.
The Company are contemplating a removal to
new quarters, the large stone building formerly occupied by the Delaware
Manufacturing Company. This will afford room to carry on an immense business,
with plenty of power and all the adaptations necessary for the conduct of every
department with cheapness and dispatch. However, from the growing popularity of
the goods produced by this establishment, it is not improbable that, in the
near future, the Company will find a demand for all the space their new
quarters will afford.
He died on 20 Feb 1886 in Delaware Co.,

He was buried in Feb 1886 in Oak Grove
Cemetery, Delaware Co., Ohio.
