This is a collection of assorted materials, including broadsides and correspondences, relevant to the Collier and Slaney Jr., Copper and Tin Plate Workers, and Gas Meter Manufacturers co-partnership. Correspondences mainly focus on the economic superiority of gas to coal and general satisfaction with newly installed gas meters. The journals, broadsides, and gas business company cards situated throughout the scrapbook relate to the history and production gas apparatus. Photographs included in this scrapbook are varied, but the last sheets contain images of engineered gas holders.
