History

I n late 1879 Leon C. Marshutz and Thomas G. Cantrell formed a partnership and established The National Iron Works on the northwest corner of Main and Howard Streets in San Francisco. Leon Marshutz was the businessman and Thomas Cantrell the machinest. Both had already worked many years in the foundry and iron works companies of San Francisco.

In 1861 Mr. Cantrell, age 24[1], started his career in San Francisco working as a machinest for the S.F. Engine and Machine Works at Market and Fremont streets.[2] He then he worked for various iron works in the same vicinity. By 1868 he had formed a partnership with William Hawkins, the Hawkins and Cantrell Machine Works on Beale Street[3]. In January 1879 William Hawkins and Leon Cantrell dissolved their partnership. The business was continued by William Hawkins.[4]

Mr. Marshutz entered the San Francisco Foundry scene in 1867 at age 21[5], forming a partnership with Daniel B. Hinckley, James Brands, and Daniel E. Hayes as Hinckley & Co., the proprietors of the Fulton Foundry on the corner of Fremont and Tehama Streets.[6] Daniel B. Hinckley had established the Fulton foundry years earlier. Thomas Cantrell had worked there in 1862 and 1863. In May 1877 the copartnership was disolved with Hinckley continuing to own the Fulton Foundry.[7] In 1878 Leon Marshutz listed his profession in the San Francisco Directory as a merchant with an office at Market and Bush streets.[8]

In 1879 Thomas Cantrell listed no profession in the Directory. Leon Marshutz continued to be listed as a merchant.[9] By 1880 Marshutz and Cantrell formed a partnership and established The National Iron Works located on the corner of Main and Howard Streets in San Francisco.[10]

In May 1905 the National Iron Works was sold to Robert S. Moore and John T. Scott. The firm was renamed to Moore & Scott Iron Works.[11]
