THe Eureka Tempered Copper Co. was organized in 1888 with local prominent business men, including Alfred Short in Charge. When the Short family suffered a financial set back, the business was closed. The industry was purchased by more of North East's local business men and reorganized in 1896. Their specialty product was copper hardened by a special process for electrical products.
