Ingram-Richardson Manufacturing Co.

During 64 years, “Ing-Rich” became one of the leading producers of porcelain enamel products in the U.S. Noted for durability, the company’s output included outdoor advertising signs and “porcel panels” for building exteriors; it also made table tops, refrigerators & stove parts, and other products for the home. Founded here in 1901 by Louis Ingram & Ernest Richardson, it built plants in three other states. At its peak it employed over 1000 people. (Dedicated: Friday, May 4, 2001)
