The Pillow-Hersey Manufacturing Co. was located at the corner of St. Patrick and Condé streets, on Mill Street, and on William Street. Since 1852, this company had specialized in the production of metal bars and a variety of nails. The heads of the company, John Theodore Bigelow and John A. Pillow, were members of a British merchant family that had come to Montréal in the early 19th century. John Randolph Hersey, a prosperous inventor, subsequently joined this family firm. Hersey contributed substantially to the development and improvement of iron processing equipment
