Spang and his father established the firm of H. S. Spang Sz Co. to manufacture wrought Iron products at Etna. The plant was popularly called the '6Etna lron Works and agricultural implements were manufactured. ln 1840 the company pioneered in the manufacture of iron pipe to replace wood pipe then in use. This was the first such pipe manufactured west of the Alleghenies. John W. Chalfant joined the firm in 1856 and the name became Spang, Chalfant Sz Company. The new firm branched out to manufacture merchant bar, nails, boiler plate, and wrought iron tubes.
