Billhead of Hendricks & Brothers, Copper Manufacturers, New York City, August 4, 1882

Billhead from August 4, 1882, for Hendricks & Brothers, proprietors of the Belleville Copper Milling Mills in New York City. The firm manufactured bolt and sheet copper, locomotive flues, copper wire and rivets, and imported and dealt in metals. The billhead shows stains and creases. The Hendricks family business, initially founded by Uriah Hendricks in 1764, spanned five generations and was affiliated with the same synagogue for 200 years. The company's history included periods of reorganization, expansion into copper rolling mills (one of the first in the U.S. in 1812), and involvement of various family members across generations, including Uriah, Harmon, Henry, Washington, Montague, Joshua, Edmund, and Francis Hendricks. The mill finally closed in December 1938.
