organized the Edison Portland Cement Company on April 15, 1899. The plant utilized ore processing equipment developed for Edison's unsuccessful ore milling venture during the 1890s.
In the winter of 1901,
the inventor supervised construction of the Edison Portland Cement Company works at Stewartsville, New Jersey, near large limestone deposits.
An explosion at the company's coal grinding plant in 1903 resulted in the death of eight workers, including Chief Engineer Edward A. Darling, and the closure of the plant for redesign.
By 1905, the company produced 3,000 barrels of cement per day.
In 1908, Edison signed a cross-licensing agreement with the North American Portland Cement Company for mutual use of important cement patents.
By the mid-1920s, the firm was the fourth largest producer of cement in the U.S.
Slightly creased with folds, vertical fold at the "N" in Crane. Cancellation holes atlower margin at signatures of Crane and Mallory. Lightly soiled at blank margins, minor stains at blank margins and at receipt portion where it was affixed to the certificate. Pinhead-size hole at blank area on receipt portion, which also bears a stamp and pencil notes (unknown hand). Overall, fine condition.
