The Jeffrey Manufacturing Company was the world’s leading producer of mining, conveying, and heavy industrial equipment for nearly 100 years. Jeffrey designed material handling products for a wide variety of uses, such as coal mining, farming, amusement park rides, earth-moving, lumber mills, and food processing. The use of specialized Jeffrey equipment reduced handling costs, increased production, and decreased hard physical labor. Part of the Company’s success was due to the wide variety of industries that profited from the use of Jeffrey conveying and loading systems to move materials. The founder of the company, Joseph A. Jeffrey, was born on January 17th, 1836, in Clarksville, Vinton County, Ohio. His father, James, was a New England farmer, born in New Jersey, while his mother, Angleline, was from Warren County, Ohio. Sometime later, the Jeffrery family moved to St. Mary’s, Auglaize County, Ohio, where Joseph finished high school. Settling in Columbus, Jeffrey worked as a bank bookkeeper, teller, and cashier from 1858 to 1866. In 1866, Jeffrey moved to Cincinnati to manage a carpet and furniture store, learning more business skills in the state’s largest city. Although he was successful in that business, he sold his interest a year later and returned to Columbus and re- entered the world of banking as a head cashier.
