Conner Type Foundry (1829-1892)
The Conner Type Foundry was established in New York in 1829 by James Conner, who was skilled at stereotyping, the process of casting a solid plate of type metal from a forme composed of the individual characters. When he died in 1861 he left the company to his sons, William Crawford and James Madison Conner, who ran the company until it became the New York division of the newly formed American Type Founders.
