Default 313 Broadway

Reviewing the shipping log for 1902, indicates many Parkers were shipped to "M. Hartley Company" located at 313 Broadway, NY. Its interesting to note the this firm was run by Marcellus Hartley, who had a son Marcellus Hartley Dodge, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcell...tley_Dodge,_Sr. , who married a Rockefeller, At the time of his marriage, Dodge was the president and a director of the Union Metallic Cartridge Company, president of the Bridgeport Gun Implement Company, director of the Equitable Trust Company, director of International Banking Company, director of M. Hartley Company, a member of the Lawyers Club of New York City, the Essex County Country Club, and the City of New York Club. Eventually, Dodge became the chairman of Remington Arms Company, taking the place of his maternal grandfather. The Remington Arms and Union Metallic Cartridge factories at Bridgeport, Connecticut were described as the greatest small arms and ammunition plant in the world by the editor of the New York Times in 1916.[3] Cash control of the company was acquired by E.I. du Pont de Nemours Company of Wilmington, Delaware in 1933, but Dodge remained at the head of the business. The connection between Parker Bros. and Hartley probably started in the Civil War and finally culminated in the acquisition by Remington. This location is now the site of a McDonalds!
