From the Wilmington Journal

Anderson's Iron Foundry
   *****
We saw there a railroad car wheel, cast from iron made at the Endor Iron Works of Messrs. McRae & Co., on Deep River which it required forty vigorous blows of the sledge hammer to crack, and even then the outer circle was not affected. This severe test satisfies the workmen that the Endor iron is the best ever made in this State.
   Messrs. Anderson & Co. have been casting all sorts of things, but are inclined to give most of their attention to the making of car wheels, for which there is great demand, and for which the Endor iron is so admirably adapted. We trust, however, that whilst they make hundreds of car wheels per month, they may be enabled to get hands enough to continue their other most useful works.
