H. Scoville & Sons, in the manufacture of steam engines and general machinery, and upon the retirement of his father from active business he succeeded to the sole proprietorship of the Scoville Iron Works, which he has since managed with signal success, increasing their capacity as the spread of their fame increased the demand for the Scoville machinery, until this pioneer establishment of its kind has become one of the largest in the country. Mr. Scoville was at one time a member of the firm o...f Charles Reissig & Company, and while such he erected the iron reservoirs on the corner of Monroe and Morgan streets and on Chicago avenue, which the city built when water was first introduced, and to which refe^nce is made in the chapter upon that subject. As already noticed in the sketch of Mr. Scoville, Sr. , the first locomotives built in Chicago were constructed by the Scovilles, and these being under the immediate supervision of the sub- ject of this sketch, their acknowledged excellence is something of which he may justly feel proud.
