Brockport, New York, USA - Waterloo Organs. Best in the World Manfd by Malcom Love & Co. For Sale by C. W. Blodgett, Brockport, N.Y.

Brockport, Monroe, New York, USA

By the 1840s, Brockport had developed a major industrial economy. It was the home of several iron foundries that produced stoves, tools, and threshing machines. In 1845, Cyrus McCormick came to Brockport and licensed the Backus & Fitch foundry to manufacture 100 of his newly-invented reapers. Either they were never made or did not work. So he then gave the same license to Seymour, Morgan & Co. In 1846, they produced 100 reapers that did work—thereby bringing the Industrial Revolution to agriculture.
