Page "government" Paragraph 704

As head of the firm Darling & Swartz, Mr. Darling began by challenging Brown & Sharpe to its keenest competition during the 1850's and early 60's.

In 1868, however, a truce was called between the companies, and the partnership of Darling, Brown & Sharpe was formed.

Between that year and the buying out of Mr. Darling's interest in 1892, a large portion of the company's precision tool business was carried out under the name of Darling, Brown & Sharpe, and to this day many old precision tools are in use still bearing that famous trademark.
