The 1989 through 901 Rochester City Directories list Frank J. Glover occupation as a “pin maker” working at a business located at the corner of Brown’s race and Furnace. A search of the 1903-1904 Rochester House Directory Supplement reveals that the Judson Governor Co., Judson Pin Co., and Judson Power Co., were located on that corner. We know that Frank was a pin maker; therefore, it is probable that he worked for the Judson Pin Co. Further research of the Judson Pin Co. shows that the company made safety pins. [1]
