Source Text: J. C. Todd & Co.�In 1862, Samuel Furnival and Michael Ritchey started the manufacture of jute rope and jute twine in Paterson. Ritchey had formerly worked for twelve years in the Dolphin Mill, and at this time was superintendent of a mill run by Furnival in New York. The new firm took the westerly wing of the Phoenix Mill, a low, two-story brick building, occupying the lower floor for their manufacturing, and the upper floor as a machine-shop for repairing their machinery. They employed about forty-five hands. In 1866 they erected a two-story brick mill, sixty-two by one hundred feet, at the northwest corner of Taylor and Jackson Streets, to which they then removed their business, employing a much larger number of hands. In 1869 they gave up making rope, and began the manufacture of cotton bagging out of jute butts. The following year Furnival sold out his interest in the business to James H. Briscoe, a Philadelphia dentist, and the firm-name became Briscoe & Ritchey. Furnival removed to Brooklyn, where he continued in the same business on his own account. Briscoe retired from the firm in 1872, being succeeded by Joseph C. Todd, and the firm- name has since been J. C. Todd & Co. In 1876 they built a two-story brick store-house, twenty-eight by one hundred feet, on Jackson Street, in the rear of the mill, and in 1880 another store-house, also of brick, two stories high, forty by fifty feet, was erected to accommodate the steadily-increasing business. They now employ 100 hands in making bagging for cotton out of jute butts, of which they use six or seven thousand bales, weighing four hundred pounds each, in the course of a year, importing the material from India. They pay out $50,000 yearly in wages. Mr. Ritchey is the superintendent and manager of the mill, for which his practical knowledge admirably fits him. Mr. Todd, it might be remarked, operated some rope machinery in Paterson as early as 1851.
