More About Manufacturing York
Why did a gifted man of the cloth leave the ministry to manufacture washing machines? How did an ex preacher, so poor at one time he could not afford to fix the roof on his house, become a wealthy man and the leading industrialist in the history of York? How did five existing companies employing over 2,000 people grow from his work? This program answers these questions and provides a window into the life of the founder of the S. Morgan Smith Company (now Voith Hydro).
