THE EARLY YEARS THE LITTLESTOWN HARDWARE & FOUNDRY COMPANY, INC. started in 1915 as a partnership of Emory and

Luther Snyder in Wrightsville, Pa. under the name of The Wrightsville Supply Company and The Wrightsville Garage. The new

company sold Maxwell cars, repaired all makes and started making items such as hammers and toys by purchasing their castings

from one of three foundries in Wrightsville; then machining, plating and assembling the items at Wrightsville Supply. They wanted

to start a foundry where they could make their own castings. Red Lion was seeking new industries, so they were looking at the

possibility of starting one there.

John Moudy, of Moudy Real Estate on West King Street in Littlestown, had developed a barn door lock that was being

made at Columbia Malleable. They suggested that he have the castings nickel plated at Wrightsville Supply.

Moudy mentioned to the Snyder brothers the need for more industries in Littlestown, since there was only a silk mill and a

few cigar factories. They told him they were considering starting a foundry in Red Lion.

Moudy arranged a meeting in Littlestown with any interested people and businessmen with Emory and Luther at the

upstairs meeting room of the Alpha Fire Department. After talking about their plans for a foundry, a committee was appointed of

two bankers and local store owners. Emory and Luther decided to start their new business in Littlestown.

Through the public sale of bonds and other financing, funds were raised for the purchase of land along Charles Street and

for the construction of the first building. It was 50 x 100 feet. A railroad siding was added for receiving shipments of pig iron, coke

and molding sand by rail freight. Necessary production equipment was purchased. Sixteen employees were hired.

John Moudy deserves the most credit for bringing the business to Littlestown, but M. N. Wehler deserves the credit for

keeping it here. Without Mr. Wehler’s and the Littlestown Savings Institution’s help, the new business could hardly have kept going

as it lacked working capital as payrolls, accounts receivable and inventories increased rapidly.

Chartered May 24, 1916, the first officers were: Emory Snyder – President, Sheldon Abel – Vice-President and Luther

Snyder – Secretary / Treasurer. Emory was in charge of machining and finishing, Sheldon was in charge of the molding and

melting operations and Luther was responsible for the office, including quoting, bookkeeping, purchasing, etc. Sheldon Abel, of

Wrightsville, was one of the three stockholders and directors with Emory and Luther in the new corporation. His knowledge of the

foundry business was from years of experience at Columbia Grey Iron. He quit after a few years and his stock was bought by the

remaining two stockholders. Emory and Luther’s wives then became stockholders and were directors for the next thirty years.

By the end of 1916, the business had 23 employees.

During the war years of 1917 and 1918, mostly castings for World War I were made. Even with war work, it was very

difficult to get material such as pig iron and coke. Those days, the priority system didn’t work very well. It was a tough time for the

new business. It was new to the suppliers who were taking care of old customers first.

The war ended in November, 1918 and the country went into a slump in 1919.

1920 gave the new business a real boost. With the help of I. H. Crouse, an addition was built onto the molding room more

than doubling the number of molders. Mr. Crouse was a real help as he left the entire amount of the bill on a note to be paid as soon

as possible.

The 1920’s began the expansion of the product lines to include door stops, bookends, fire place equipment, cookware, vises

and other hardware items.

The items made for the World War II effort are detailed here.

Many were never listed in any other historical writings or documents.

Founded In 1916, The Littlestown Hardware and Foundry Co. Inc. of Littlestown is another of the

Adams County concerns founded since the turn of the century which has grown into one of the county's

leading industries. The plant was opened in 1916 with Emory H. Snyder as president and Luther D Snyder as

secretary-treasurer. Its products bear the trade name Littco and the diamond “L” trademark which is

recognized in many parts of the world to which such products are shipped as the very acme of quality. The

United States entered World War I a few months after the plant began operations and during this conflict it

made machinery castings. Before World War II the plant turned out of variety of goods, among them

bookends, paper-weights, doorstops, fireplace fixtures, bench and pipe vises, claw hammers and other

articles of similar nature. Both before and after Pearl Harbor, the Littlestown Hardware and Foundry Co.

provided articles used for training, housing and feeding the rapidly expanding war machine of the United

States. It supplied the army, navy and marine corps with millions of castings from its production lines, and

sent these articles to the far corners of the earth, wherever such war materials were needed and the Allied

forces had penetrated. In late 1941 fire doors for camp kitchens, aluminum castings for special bread-baking

units and dial gauges and frames for sirens on coastal patrol boats were produced. Approximately 35,000

pieces of a special flange were turned out to be used to hold bunks in place on the ocean liner Normandie,

which at that time was being converted into a troop transport. The last of these were delivered just three days

before the liner caught fire and was destroyed. Thousands of bushings and conduit fittings were sent by

other sub-contractors to Littlestown for machining and plating before being used on battleships, submarines

and bombers. Tons of plumbing materials went into docks and aircraft plants. The first item for the training

camps was a practice tank land mine of which 69,902 mine bodies and fuse sockets were turned out. Later

the foundry produced almost 3,000,000 rifle grenades for practice purposes. Later efforts were turned to

producing battle grenades on an assembly line designed and built by E. H. Snyder. The daily average

production rate reached close to 6,000. Thousands of these grenades were used by U. S. forces in the Battle

of the Bulge and later in the Rhineland fighting of World War II. Littlestown grenades also were used in the

invasion of Iwo Jima. The foundry also produced more than 3,000,000 plugs for small aerial bombs,

thousands of plugs for thousand-pound bombs, brackets for the installation of lights in bunks on aircraft

carriers, valve wheels for naval craft, handles for rifle ramrods, special vises and a score of other articles for

the war effort. Numerous articles were also made for national defense training purposes, including cement

tampers for emergency landing fields, chart weights for ships and army field headquarters and shoemakers

nail dishes for the quartermaster corps. The original floor space of the Littlestown Hardware and Foundry Co.

has been increased to its present 57,000 square feet and the number of employees is now 171 compared

with the 21 employed when the factory first opened. Today it manufactures many hardware items with the

familiar diamond ”L” trademark, and specialties in grey iron and aluminum. The plant supplies grey iron and

aluminum castings for many other manufacturers as well.
