RARE ANTIQUE BAKER & ADAMSON NITRIC ACID WOOD CRATE/BOX – ALLIED CHEMICAL CO. IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH NORMAL WEAR NICKS, SCRATCHES, CORROSION, DIRT, ETC. , TYPICAL OF AGE, USE, AND STORAGE. THE FRONT IS EMBOSSED: BAKER & ADAMSON “QUALITY” REGENTS OF FINE CHEMICALS GENERAL CHEMICAL DIVISION ALLIED CHEMICAL & DYE CORPORATION NEW YORK N. USA LABELS READ: ACID NITRIC. MEASURES APPROX 20.5″ x 19″ x 15. Baker, Adamson, and Hart incorporated in 1890 as Baker & Adamson Chemical Co. Business was brisk, but prices were falling and an expanding community became aware of-and annoyed with-the chemical fumes. It was time for a move to five less-populated acres near the Lehigh River, about two miles from the campus and, more importantly, near the railroad. Our lot was full of board shacks containing them, and we made steady and rapid progress. We were young, full of enthusiasm, and able to work 15 hours of the 24. According to Hart, Baker deserved a great deal of the credit for the company’s inventions. “He had a large share in many patents taken out in the names of others, ” Hart wrote. He worked out the details and persevered until success was attained. After others had abandoned hope. Hart described development of the ceresin bottle, patented by the three partners, that earned Hart the John Scott Medal of the Franklin Institute. The invention allowed hydrofluoric acid to be packed for sale in small sizes; it remained state-of-the-art until the 1950 development of the polyethylene bottle. Not surprisingly, the consistent quality of the Baker & Adamson products and the growth of the CP industry in the United States attracted the notice of a much larger firm, the General Chemical Co. According to Hart’s writings, I was opposed to this [sale], but my partners insisted. Subsequent events have shown that I was correct and we might have developed a great business had we retained it. Although Hart and Adamson settled into their new positions, Baker quickly realized that he was ill suited to being part of a large organization. He was still driven to put into action ideas that others thought were too difficult. In other words, he needed to run his own company. On the New Jersey bank of the Delaware River. It didn’t look very impressive: Little more than 20 employees in 6 wooden buildings produced acids and common chemical salts. But it was here that Baker carried out his ideals: He told his people that their standard was the highest degree of purity commercially possible. In his effort to distinguish his new company from other chemical producers and convinced that users would benefit by knowing exactly what they were purchasing, Baker decided that the labels on his company’s chemical bottles would describe significant impurities and list the precise amount of each. His new technique took a representative sample from every lot of chemicals-whether a pound or a ton-and analyzed it. The analysis and a lot registration number were printed on “Baker’s Analyzed Chemicals” labels. His idea was fruitful: The company’s meticulous analyses proved to be key to its ultimate worldwide success. World War I challenged the J. And the rest of the U. Chemical industry to produce materials for munitions and medical treatment. Firms were forced to produce many chemicals they had not previously attempted. In the early 1920s, the company’s higher wartime plant capacity was converted to supply process materials and pharmaceuticals to U. Baker, now in his sixties and nearing retirement (he gave up the reins of the presidency in 1926), still contributed to improved manufacturing technology. He pioneered the use of tantalum and titanium-lined equipment for the production of pure acids and the convenient pellet form of potassium and sodium hydroxide used in every lab. His portfolio of patents was impressive. After retirement, Baker became chair of the board and stayed active in the operation of the firm until his death in 1935 (he died on a golf course in Lake Wales, FL). Purity by the Ton? Following its expansion into pharmaceutical chemicals, the J. Explored the market for so-called industrial chemicals of a higher grade than normally made and used in high volumes. Laboratory chemical production methods were adapted for large-scale production, beginning with sodium tungstate and stannous chloride. By the late 1920s, about 30 chemicals were being produced by the company in bulk. Purity by the ounce had become purity by the ton. In 1941, 10 days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the J. Which had acquired Merrill Pharmaceutical in 1938. Vick Chemical was renamed Richardson Merrill in 1960 and retained ownership of J. Baker until Procter & Gamble acquired Richardson Merrill in 1985. In 1995, Mallinckrodt Chemical acquired J. Baker to create Mallinckrodt Baker, Inc. In October 2000, Mallinckrodt Baker became one of the businesses of Tyco Specialty Products. About 100 employees worked at a single plant that supplied more than 1600 chemicals. Today, 1000 Mallinckrodt Baker employees work at five ISO 9000-certified manufacturing locations in Mexico, supplying more than 10,000 products. Sales are in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Since its founding, the company has always sought markets that demand the highest purity. To that end, Baker’s legacy, Mallinckrodt Baker, Inc. Has now established a strong presence as a supplier to the high-growth and high-tech markets of semiconductor manufacturing and biopharmaceutical production.
