Stock signed by Ezra Greenwald as president. Cincinnati, Ohio. Red seal and gold lettering!

Founded in 1847; by the 1850s this machine shop, partnered with one Bonsall, manufactured at least nine Woodworth-style planing machines. They were sued by the holder of the Woodworth patent for that area, Jason G. Wilson. Isaac Greenwald argued, unsuccessfully, that the planers were being manufactured for use outside Wilson's territory. Greenwald and Bonsall were required to pay damages. I. & E. Greenwald, foundery and machine shop, steam engines, boilers, and mill machinery, No. 190 east Pearl Street, near Miami canal. Manufacture steam engines of all sizes, flour, saw and oil mill and general machinery; hydraulic presses, circular saw mills, etc., etc. Number of hands employed, seventy-five; value of products, eighty-five thousand dollars. These figures are exclusive of their agricultural machinery operations, which are already stated in that department. One-tenth of their work is for home consumption; the residue finds its market in the west and south. Their assortment of gearing patterns is one of the largest in the city, and as they have recently purchased the extensive machine shop formerly occupied by Niles & Co. as a locomotive factory, their machinery operations must greatly enlarge with the capacity of the edifice.
