Richmond Gains From New York Seeding Co Branch
A Richmond city scene centers on the planned move of the American Seeding Machine Company New York branch to town. The plant will span North Thirteenth to Fifteenth streets and employ 700 to 1000 workers at full capacity. Dwellings on North Fifteenth Street will give way for a dry kiln and new factory buildings. The merger of Louisville and New York branches elevates Richmond to a major manufacturing hub with two large plants, Gaara and Hoosier, and an expected population boost.
