A new society for finishers

A N e w Society for Finishers by Michael Murphy, Editor

~

t was August 1907 when an open letter appeared in The Metal Industry, forerunner of Metal Finishing, as follows:

TO TIlE PLATERS A N D POLISNERS OF THE UNITED STATES

"It is with pleasure t h a t I take this opportunity, through the courtesy of The Metal Industry, of introducing myself to the Platers and Polishers of the United States and Canada. "At the formation of the American Brass Founders' Association at Philadelphia, the writer had the honor to be n o m i n a t e d . . , and elected to get members for a Platers' and Polishers' section, or as an auxiliary branch of the association then f o r m e d . . . "I have had this in mind for several years. It has been my sincerest desire to see such an association formed. We cannot as individuals realize the results t h a t could be accomplished by such a national association, but with the interchange of thought and experience on technical and social lines results would naturally accrue. That each member of such an association would no doubt materially profit in knowledge by such interchange of ideas and varied experience. And m a n y of the problems t h a t confront us under varying influences could be worked out to the m u t u a l advantage of all. "I would be pleased to have those interested. . . communicate with me personally by writing to my a d d r e s s . . , or in care of The Metal Industry, giving in their remarks whatever ideas they may have concerning the formation of such an association and stating if they desire to become a member if such an association is formed." Charles H. Proctor

polishing two years ago, and although experiencing trouble at times, The Metal Industry always had 'trouble articles' t h a t fitted my case and set me right. In my opinion such an association as is proposed would bring the platers and polishers together and would be of the greatest benefit to all concerned. I hope the association will be formed." Mr. Proctor had some feedback and was apparently planning to make a report. In the coverage on the Toronto convention of the American Brass Founders' Association, published in the J u n e 1908 issue of The Metal Industry, the following statement appeared: "The first professional paper to be read, which we present below, was by Charles H. Proctor; this was read by the secretary in the absence of the a u t h o r . . . " He either changed his mind or was not able to attend the event. The next statement, concerning an association, appeared one year later in the October 1908 issue, under the heading "Associated Plating Foremen." "Chas. H. Proctor and C.C. Barbour, Jr. are at present taking considerable interest in the formation of a Platers' Society which shall be established on similar lines to the Association of the International Steam Engineers, the organization to be composed of foremen and expert platers . . . Some individuals who have taken an interest in the formation of such a society are J. French, plater for Herman Strater & S o n s . . . Boston, and Messrs. Brennan & Critchley, who are jewelry and electro-platers of Providence, R.I. There has been no organized effort made as yet to form such a society, but the parties mentioned are doing some missionary work towards that end." In J a n u a r y 1909, Proctor had another call for a society published in The Metal Industry.

The following appeared in the October 1907 issue: PROPOSED N A T I O N A L A S S O C I A T I O N OF PLATERS A N D POLISHERS

From one of the m a n y letters received by Charles H. Proctor, of Arlington, N.J., who has taken so great an interest in the formation of such an association, we quote as follows: "In the August issue of The Metal Industry I notice you have an article to the 'Platers and Polishers of the U.S.' I would say t h a t I would like to become a member, if possible, of such an association as you name. I started in this business of plating and 8

A N APPEAL FOR THE F O R M A T I O N OF A N A T I O N A L SOCIETY OF ELECTRO-PLATERS

"I have been deeply interested in the controversy over the cleaning of nickel anodes and have read both sides of the discussion with much interest. (See George DiBari's article in this issue for some details on the controversy.) I am sure this discussion proves t h a t once in a while the plater will come out of his shell and expose himself, especially when there is danger of some of his own exclusive thoughts and pet theories becoming overthrown in the light of publicity. Such discussions as these are what we Metal Finishing

need. This is the very reason why two years ago, in an address before the newly-formed American Brass Founders' Association in Philadelphia, I mentioned the fact t h a t a national association of platers was necessary. "I realize to-day t h a t a mistake was made when I suggested the formation of an auxiliary association of platers subject to the rules and regulations of a parent body, the American Brass Founders Association. I find that the plater has nothing in common with the brass founder any more t h a n the brass founder had with the iron f o u n d e r . . . "Well, Mr. Plater, what are you going to do? Once in a while you will come out of your shell and show t h a t you can fight when you want to. You have a thinking mind. Don't you think it is about time you thought of an association t h a t would be national in its scope? Not for you alone nor I, but for the welfare of us all. As a great factor in the industrial and commercial arts are you not worthy of such an association? I am ready to do my part; are you ready to do yours? "It takes money to accomplish some things. I have a dollar or two for this cause. How much have y o u ? . . , we must stand alone. What do you say? The Metal Industry I have no doubt, will be pleased to receive communications upon this subject." Charles H. Proctor So who was this Charles H. Proctor? He had been a regular contributing writer for The Metal Industry and had offered his services in a continuing classifled advertisement (see Fig. 1). On the page facing his appeal, a brief biography of Mr. Proctor appeared. In summary, it stated t h a t he was born in Birmingham, England, in 1866, t h a t he was a selfmade writer without a college education, and t h a t he had entered industrial works at the age of 16. "In 1889 he entered the employ of the Ansonia Brass and Copper Company, Ansonia, Conn., to get practical experience in the electro-deposition of metals, and was under the direction of Edward Bernard. . . whom Mr. Proctor regards as one of the bestknown and experienced platers in the United States." 10

The response to Mr. Proctor's strong words was also strong, from the February issue: " . . . we have received m a n y letters from foremen platers, advocating the organization of such a socie t y . . . The appeal of Mr. Proctor was so successful t h a t it is probable the proposed society will shortly take definite shape and a call will be issued for a meeting, the last S a t u r d a y afternoon in February. We herewith publish a sample letter which voices the opinions of all: "Mr. Charles H. Proctor's movement toward forming a national society of electroplaters is deserving of energetic support from all platers as well as those interested in e l e c t r o p l a t i n g . . . I have one suggestion and t h a t is t h a t the society have a little wider field and include other branches of metal finishing. . . Like Mr. Proctor, I have a few dollars for the good of the cause." Percy S. Brown The editorial from the March 1909 issue stated: "Judging from the enthusiasm shown at the first meeting of Foremen Platers, held March 6, an account of which is given in another column, and also from the letters read at the same time from out-oftown platers, there need be no question raised as to the ultimate success of the s o c i e t y . . . The interest in this movement has been widespread, and expressions of encouragement have been received from Texas to Canada and from Maine to California." A S S O C I A T E D FOREMEN PLATERS

"A very enthusiastic preliminary meeting of the foremen platers was held on the afternoon of March 6 at the Hotel Chelsea, 222 West 23rd Street, New York. While the total attendance numbered 18, letters were received from over double this number of platers stating their interest in the proposed organization and one Western plater showed his enthusiasm by sending $10.00 for the cause. The chairman, Charles H. Proctor, in delivering his address, spoke of the value of such an association of foremen p l a t e r s . . , each plater mentioned their ideas on the purposes of the s o c i e t y . . . "The following were present at the meeting. Charles H. Proctor, Otto Dennewitz, John J. Fannon, William McConnell, F r a n k Duffy, Hugh Baxter, Royal F. Clark, Herbert W. Cummings, H.H. Smith, B.W. Gilchrist, N a t h a n Emory, J.F. Meinke, L.J. Krom, Palmer H. Langdon, G.W. Cooper, T.A. Trumbour, E.B. Davidson, Percy S. Brown." (Palmer H. Langdon was then Editor and Publisher and Thomas A.

ager of The Metal Industry.) A committee was appointed by the chair to draft a constitution. "The second meeting was held March 19, 1909 at the Astor House, New York. At this meeting the Constitutional Committee reported, and the proposed constitution was discussed section by section. The meeting adjourned after adopting the greater portion of the constitution, the remainder being laid on the table for a future m e e t i n g . . . The third meeting was held April 10, at the Hotel Chelsea, New York, when the constitution was adopted, and the association was given actual existence and a good launching... " The name selected for the new organization was the "National Electroplaters' Association of the United States and Canada." There was a charter membership of 60 members. " . . . the Association designated The Metal Industry as its official organ." Meetings were to be held on the first Friday of each month. The Metal Industry published the constitution in full on pages 154 and 155 of the April 1909 issue. The intentions were clear: "The object of this association shall be the advancing and dissemination of knowledge concerning the art of electrodeposition of metals in all its branches, including the finishing of metals generally, and to m a i n t a i n an employment bureau for the benefit of members and the trade at large. A bureau of information and a laboratory equipped for research work will be maintained by the association and meetings will be held for the June 2002

purpose of presenting papers upon appropriate subjects, as well as by the publication of such literature as may be deemed adviseable." There would be a president, secretary, treasurer, and 10 vice presidents each representing a geographical area. An annual convention was planned and three classes of membership were approved: Active Members, Associate Members, and Honorary Members. Active Members were defined as "supervisors, general foremen, foremen of electroplating and finishing departments." Associate Members would include "any persons who are actively interested in the art of electrodeposition." The dues for active members were $5.00 and for associate members $3.00 per year.

The First Year It was now officiaL, the association was born at what was now called the " . . . first regular meeting of this association, held April 10, 1909, at the Hotel C h e l s e a . . . " T h e officers were President Charles H. Proctor, Secretary Benjamin W. Gilchrist, and Treasurer N a t h a n S. Emery (see Fig. 2). Several vice presidents were appointed including John J. Fannon for New York, Hugh Baxter for New Jersey, J.W. Slattery for Connecticut, and H.E. Willmore for Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. 11

Figure 3. The official emblem of the association.

At the second regular meeting on May 7, there were 28 in attendance. "A librarian was appointed in the person of G.B. Hogaboom, whose duty it will be to compile and record all matter pertaining to the art of deposition of metals." There were 33 members and guests at the J u n e 4th meeting when Thomas A. Trumbour of The Metal Industry was named an Honorary Member. The fifth regular meeting was held July 16, 1909. "A design for the national emblem was submitted by J.J. Nicholl, of Newark, N.J., and was unanimously adopted as official" (see Fig. 3). The design included a scale representing an ammeter or voltmeter to symbolize the trade and a view of the Capitol to symbolize the national scope of the association. "Knowledge Is Power" appeared at the top symbolizing the object of the group. August 7 was the date of the next meeting, which was held at Seaside, Rockaway Beach, on a Saturday followed by a dinner at the Seaside Hotel. At the September meeting, it was decided to hold the monthly meetings on the first Saturday of the month "to allow out-of-town members to more conveniently a t t e n d . . . " A committee of Messrs. Hogaboom, Stremel, and Emery was appointed to arrange for a banquet with "prominent men of the industry to give talks." F.C. Clements of Philadelphia was elected vice president of the territory comprising Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Virginia, and West Virginia. At the ninth meeting B.W. Gilchrist resigned as secretary and Percy S. Brown was appointed to fill his term. The association was incorporated under the laws of the state of New York on October 1, 1909. In the November issue of The Metal Industry, Mr. Proctor made an appeal to form branches of the society in major cities including Detroit, Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and anywhere else. The tenth regular meeting was a particularly active one. "Mr. Daly, President of the International Association of Platers', Polishers' and Buffers' Unions, requested the privilege of the floor, but upon 12

vote this was denied on the ground that the association is positively opposed to Unionism." The Librarian, Mr. Hogaboom, "reported that the average salary of the foreman plater as taken by a count at a previous meeting was $27.50 per w e e k . . . The banquet committee reported that they had made arrangements for a banquet to be held Jan. 15 at the Hotel Marlborough, Broadway and 36th Street. The dinner will be called 'The Get Together Dollar Dinner,' and anyone who is interested in electroplating and finishing will be w e l c o m e . . . The price of each ticket is $ 1 . 0 0 . . . " The first annual banquet dinner was an unqualified success with 119 platers and guests in attendance (see Fig. 4). There were half a dozen speakers, who addressed a variety of topics. The attendees (a complete listing appeared in the February 1910 issue of The Metal Industry) were primarily from New York and New Jersey with 5 coming down from Connecticut, and one each from Rhode Island and Michigan. In the March 1910 issue of The Metal Industry a proposed revision of the constitution and by-laws was published. These would be voted upon at the "annual meeting" to be held in May. One significant change was in the classes of membership. Active Members were to consist of "Foremen Electro-Platers and Electro-Chemists" while Associate Members would be "representatives of supply houses directly interested in e l e c t r o p l a t i n g . . . " The total membership at this time was 84. The S e c o n d Year " . . . after considerable discussion the revised constitution as published in The Metal Industry for March was adopted, with one or two minor corrections." The constitution went into effect immediately at the April meeting. New officers were elected as follows: President Charles H. Proctor, Corresponding and Financial Secretary George B. Hogaboom, Recording Secretary Royal F. Clark, Treasurer Herman H. Reama (see Fig. 5), and Librarian August Hoffman. Vice Presidents J u s t u s A. Stremel for New York; Hugh Baxter for New Jersey; J.W. Slattery for Connecticut; O.A. Hillman for New England; J.P. Flanigan for Illinois, Michigan, Indiana; and F.C. Clunart for Pennsylvania. Board of Trustees, William Schneider, Chairman and Messrs. Brown, Mullard, Steihle, and Newton. Sergeant-at-Arms R.H. Elder and Assistant Sergeant W. Fisher. At the nineteenth regular meeting, a communication was received from F.C. Clements of Philadelphia, " . . . he stated that arrangements had been made to hold a m e e t i n g . . , to organize a branch a s s o c i a t i o n . . .

reported that "The Philadelphia branch of the N.E.P.A. held a meeting Friday evening, Sept. 30, at the offices of the Hartford Sterling Silver Company." The following officers had been elected: President Fred C. Clement, Vice President J a m e s Moore, Recording Secretary Joseph L. Demal, Secretary Treasurer Albert E. Kieser. The new branch had 25 members. At the December 23, 1910, meeting, reported in the J a n u a r y 1911 issue of The Metal Industry, Secretary Royal F. Clark discussed the progress of the association. "The membership now numbers 1 5 0 . . . Two quarterlies have been issued, comprising the proceedings for six months of the year. A branch of the association has been organized in Philadelphia and a charter has been granted to it. An information bureau has been established and has helped 52 different members with valuable information, and the employment bureau has placed eight members in good positions." Looking to the future: "A laboratory, equipped for research work, is to be maintained by the associa14

tion in the near f u t u r e . . . The recording secretary is of the opinion that the standardization of formulas and finishes should be one of the special subjects to be taken up during the coming year. One of the objects to be striven for during 1911 will be to obtain new members and to organize branches in other parts of the United States and Canada." The second annual banquet of the association was held at the Hotel Marlborough in New York on February 11, 1911. A special menu was printed for the occasion and is shown in Figure 6. The group was larger than that at the first banquet. A complete listing of attendees was published in the February 1911 issue of The Metal Industry. "A feature of the dinner was the presentation of a charter to the Philadelphia branch of the association, which charter was handsomely engraved and framed to suit the occasion." President Charles H. Proctor addressed the assembly. " . . .

reflect the rapid growth. "The presidents of the branch associations shall constitute the National Executive Committee until a National Association shall be organized." A branch was reported to be starting in Rochester with Adolph Wald as president. The Philadelphia branch held its first banquet on April 22nd. At the December 22, 1911, meeting a communication was read from F.W. Burrows of Toronto indicating that "the prospects of forming a branch in that city were very good." Secretary Faint summed up the situation. "The past year has been one of hard work for this organization, meetings were held every month, and each one seemed to prove more interesting than the previous one--all were well attended . . . Our present membership is 177 . . . The outlook for 1912 is very bright--we will endeavor to do more than in the p a s t . . . " Thus, by 1912 the National Electro-Platers Association was in its third year and flourishing. A report on the Third Annual Banquet of the association, held at the Broadway Central Hotel on February 10th, appeared in the February issue of The Metal Industry. It was rated as "an unqualified success" with those in attendance listed and numbering 182. Attendees were primarily from the greater New York area with some coming from the cities of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Wilmington, Lowell, Baltimore, and Chicago. There were even two gentlemen (Messrs. A.T. F u r t h and H.C. Walton) from New Zealand. The dinner was preceded by an all-day reception. There were speeches and exhibits of finishes and equipment. At the February 23rd meeting, "The Indianapolis Metal Finishing

branch, which was formed on J a n u a r y 10, presented a petition asking for a charter, which was granted. The officers of this branch are: George Barrow, president; Frederick J. Neitzel, vice president; B.D. Aufderheide, secretary-treasurer." The April issue of The Metal Industry reported that "A branch was formed at Toronto, Ontario, on March 22, through the efforts of Walter F. Barrow, who is one of the leading lights in the plating industry in Canada." Further details regarding Rochester were also provided. "L.E. Sturdevant, with the Celluloid Zapon Company, came to this city, and by hard work helped to organize this branch, with the assistance of Edwin S. Speary, with the Standard Plating Work of this city and Adolph Wahl, with Bastion Bros . . . . C.V. Haring, with the Ritter Dental Company, was elected president; George H. Hesslink, with the Van Bergh Silver Plate Company, vice president; Sylvester Gartland, with the Taylor Instrument Company, treasurer; E.J. Kelly, with the Cutler Mail Chute Company, s e c r e t a r y . . . " The Fourth Year The April 26th meeting would be the last to be presided over by Charles H. Proctor. At this meeting, "Charters were granted for branches in Rochester, N.Y.; Detroit, Mich.; and Toronto, Ont. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Richard H. Sliter; first vice president, Charles A. Stiele; second vice president, Clarence O. Field; secretary-treasurer, Royal F. Clark; recording secretary, A.J. Stremel; editor-in-chief, August G. Hoffman; librarian, Joseph Minges; sergeant-atarms, Thomas J. Noonan; assistant sergeant-atarms, William H. Betz; trustees, Charles H. Proctor, Lewis H. O'Donnell, Joseph A. Straub, Frank P. Davis and C.H.Buchanan." The officers at the new June 2002

Detroit branch were listed as president Arthur O'Keefe and secretary-treasurer John J. Abler. The J u n e issue of The Metal Industry carried news of the meeting of May 24. "There were twentynine members and twenty-six visitors present." The association had invited nonmember guests to the "open meeting" for the occasion. "The installation of the new officers took place and the retiring president, Charles H. Proctor, was presented with a handsome watch and chain on behalf of the members of the entire association, which he founded and has so ably guided during the three years since its birth." Photographs of the major new officers are shown in Figure 8. Also at this meeting, " . . . a charter was granted to the Chicago branch." "To say that the growth of the National ElectroPlaters' Association of the United States and Canada has been marvelous would not fall far short of the truth. A society formed in 1909 by a small group of platers and others interested in the uplift and advancement of the plating industry, has now grown until it is a powerful factor in the art of finishing m e t a l s . . . The association now lists over three hundred members . . . and has seven very enthusiastic b r a n c h e s . . . " (New York, Philadelphia, Rochester, Toronto, Indianapolis, Chicago, and Cincinnati.) "Too much praise cannot be given to the founder of this association, Charles H. Proctor, and his small band of fellow-workers who believed so explicitly in the development and expansion of the craft. When Mr. Proctor at the fortieth meeting of the association retired as three times president, he turned over to his successor, Richard H. Sliter, the reins of an organization well equipped for future operations in the electro-plating field." So reads, in part, the editorial in the J u l y 1912 issue of The Metal Industry. 17

The National Electro-Platers' Association of the United States and Canada is, of course, now known as the American Electroplaters and Surface Finishers Society (AESF). It has thousands of members in over 70 branches throughout the world. At the an-

nual meeting of the society, an award is given each year to a member "who has demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities in furthering the objectives of the society by enhancing its dignity, prestige, or progress." It is appropriately called the Charles Henry Proctor Leadership Award.
