Hachmeister-Lind was a Pittsburgh-based chemical maker[1] and auto parts business, which applied mirror finishes to a portion of auto light bulbs. The treated light bulbs, called Perfect-o-Lite,[2] cut down the glare of the lights and directed the beam over a wider area of the road. The company operated during the Great Depression in the 1930s. It had a physical address at 211 Wood Street[3] and a mailing address at Dept. L-570, in Pittsburgh.[4]
The corporation also maintained a light and mastic tile division. A separate department manufactured different kinds of plasters used in wall finishes. Aside from floor coverings and lights, the company sold more than 600 chemicals. The most significant chemicals it made were used in the electroplating industry.
