This article from the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette of August 9, 1884 reports on the organization of The Philadelphia Company by George Westinghouse. This business development ensued from Westinghouse’s discovery of natural gas at Solitude less than three months earlier.

Following the article, there is a specimen of a $1000 gold bond note from the Philadelphia Company.
