H. D. Smith & Co. Plantsville, Conn., were originally established in 1850, and subsequently incorporated in 1892. Their manufactures consist chiefly of carriage, coach and wagon irons, and drop-forged fine tools.

The officers are L. V. Walkley, president; Louis H. Schmitt, secretary; George R. Bond, treasurer; Wm. S. Ward, general superintendent.

They are one of the originators of the new method of making carriage forgings by the drop-forging process.
