E. and T. Fairbanks and Company.
Biographical notes:
E. and T. Fairbanks and Company in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, was operated by the three sons of Joseph and Phoebe Paddock Fairbanks: Erastus (1792-1864), Thaddeus (1796-1886), and Joseph P. (1806-1855). In 1823 Thaddeus built an iron foundry and Erastus joined him to establish E. and T. Fairbanks, to manufacture stoves and plows. Thaddeus, perfected and patented a design for a platform scale in 1830 and three years later Erastus, Thaddeus, and their youngest brother, Joseph, formed E. and T. Fairbanks and Company to manufacture and sell the scales. E. and T. Fairbanks and Company continued in business until 1916 when it was purchased by Fairbanks, Morse and Company of Cincinnati and Chicago (originally an agent of E. and T. Fairbanks and Company). Ownership has changed several times but scales continue to be made in St. Johnsbury (as of 1996).
