November 27, 1891: “Our own good sash and door manufactory of David & Son has just arrived at a point of completion where its output is reaching a rapid development, which cannot fail to benefit the whole country. There is material satisfaction in the fact that the large amount of money annually sent abroad for the purchase of sash and doors, will hereafter be paid to manufactures in the home market. Every working the hum of the planer or ring of saw gives evidence that there is a demand for their services. Perhaps no venture has come upon the river with so little ostentation that occupies so prominent a position as that of this factory. The builders and promoters of this enterprise are men of action and few words. They have seen the needs of the country and promptly acted upon the suggestion of the wants. These men have not only given to this community a good single sash and door factory, together with a small saw-mill from which they are supplying lumber for the home market, but they have added to the wealth and prosperity of the country and to the best society. Their value in commercial and social standing is of more consequence to any community than a baker's dozen of such pigmy minded persons who, without reason of excuse, wrote sneeringly of their enterprise in one of our exchanges. We do not write this for a special defense of Mr. David or his son. They need none.” (The West)
