Title	Jeremiah Reeves Pair and Sheet Furnace Patent
Subject	Science and Technology Business and Labor Patents Inventions Furnaces
Place	Dover (Ohio) Tuscarawas County (Ohio)
Description	This patent recognizes Jeremiah Reeves' improvements to pair and sheet furnaces. Reeves' invention circulated heat through the pair furnace and back to the sheet furnace to improve efficiency. The patent includes Reeves' drawing and a two-page description. It measures 7.5" x 11.25" (19.05 x 28.58 cm). Jeremiah E. Reeves (1845-1920), a native of Dorsetshire, England, immigrated to the United States in 1867. He and his brothers established the Reeves Boiler Works with in Niles, Ohio in 1873. He sold his share in the Boiler Works in 1882 to purchase the Dover Rolling Mills. With his brother Jabez as superintendent, Reeves opened the new Reeves Iron Company in 1883. By 1896 the company had grown to be one of the largest employers in Canal Dover (now Dover), with over 850 employees. Reeves sold the company to a subsidiary of U.S. Steel in the early twentieth century. His son, Samuel Reeves Sr., opened the Reeves Manufacturing Company in 1901 with A.J. Krantz. Trained in his father's business, the younger Reeves specialized in sheet metal and galvanized steel products. Upon the death of Samuel Reeves Sr., his father took over the company and ran it until his death in 1920.
