Английская Википедия:Hachmeister-Lind
Шаблон:Infobox company Hachmeister-Lind was a Pittsburgh-based chemical maker[1] and auto parts business, which applied mirror finishes to a portion of auto light bulbs. The treated light bulbs, called Perfect-o-Lite,[2] cut down the glare of the lights and directed the beam over a wider area of the road. The company operated during the Great Depression in the 1930s. It had a physical address at 211 Wood Street[3] and a mailing address at Dept. L-570, in Pittsburgh.[4]
Diverse inventory
The corporation also maintained a light and mastic tile division. A separate department manufactured different kinds of plasters used in wall finishes. Aside from floor coverings and lights, the company sold more than 600 chemicals. The most significant chemicals it made were used in the electroplating industry.
Profitability
In the latter half of 1931 Hachmeister-Lind's earnings amounted to $30,000 per month,[5] or, approximately $244,686[1] for the full year. This widely exceeded the firm's 1930 revenue, which totaled $133,247.[5]
Radio sponsor
Hachmeister-Lind sponsored episodes of The Shadow during January and February 1932.[2]
Bankruptcy
The company filed for bankruptcy in August 1934, in Federal District Court of the western district of Pennsylvania. Its address at the time was Island Avenue and Leonard Avenue in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania.[6]
