[D8831AAR], Letter from Edison Electric Illuminating Co (Williamsport), Phillips B Shaw to Thomas Alva Edison, February 29th, 1888
Editor's Notes
"At the last meeting of the stockholders of the Sunbury Co the Heim Bro's held the "trump cards" by having a majority of the stock and elected their own board of directors. On Saturday last I purchased the entire interest of the Heim's and now have their stock in my possession. Mr Wilson S. Hewell formely of New Brunswick N.J. will go there tomorrow and go over the plant elecrically and put in shpae. I hope at an early date to furnish you statistics that will show up an actual earning on your stock investment. Mr Hess was elected Pres't of the company tonight, and we expect to move the General Offices to Williamsport, Pa., ### have you any suggestions to make that will aid us in the economy of the operating of the plant? I am waiting patiently to hear from you regarding the "Phongraph" and when you are ready would like to come down and hear the thing operate."
