			In 1910 the company manufactured the "Bossard electro-plating tank" on which it had the patents. The International Silver Company, the "silver and knife trust" purchased a number of the tanks for installation in their eastern factories and used them exclusively for their silver plating. Another specialty of the Loetscher-Ryan Company was an "automatic Stock Waterer," a mechanical device placed between the stock watering trough and the supply tank. When the trough became dry, the device allowed the supply tank to fill the trough without letting the trough freeze. Loetscher-Ryan was also one of seven firms in the United States licensed to manufacture the Potts [[SAD IRON]]. The company was one of sixteen firms manufacturing hot air registers and one of a few manufacturers of the floor and wall facings for these registers. (1)
