There was a "Glover Machine Works" located up the road in Marietta Georgia. It had the distinction of being the oldest family owned manufacturing industry in Georgia. During its time in Marietta (started in 1893), it was a small but well established company producing small-to-medium machinery and fittings, steam hoisting engines and logging skidders (both stationary and rail-mounted versions) and locomotives on a modest scale.
