Summary

The Kennedy and Pierce Machinery Company, formed in Denver, Colorado in 1879, was sold and reorganized in 1895, becoming the Mine and Smelter Supply Company. In 1958, Mine and Smelter Supply Company bought the Colorado Iron Works Company, which had begun in 1860 and been incorporated in 1876. In 1971, Mine and Smelter Supply Company changed its name to MSI Industries, and in 1975 to Mine and Smelter Corporation. Among the original owners of Mine and Smelter Supply Company were Eben Smith and brothers John S. and Robert J. Cary. By 1904, Joseph Seep had bought out all the original partners, and his heirs retained control of the company for many years. Arthur R. Wilfley and Frank E. Marcy invented some of the ore handling machinery which was manufactured and marketed by Mine and Smelter Supply Company. The collection includes records of the Mine and Smelter Corporation (1861-1978) and the Colorado Iron Works Company (1876-1958). There are legal agreements, photographs, patents, technical drawings, correspondence, deeds, financial files, litigation files, minutes, catalogs, reports, and subject files. There is biographical information on John S. Cary, Robert J. Cary, Joseph Seep, Eben Smith and Arthur R. Wilfley.
