J. J. Nesbitt Inc.

Joye Chizek

Does anyone have any information about this old company? Founded in 1917 by John J. Nesbitt, they made unit ventilators and equipment aimed at the school market. In the last 20 years the product went from MSI in Philadelphia to MESTEK to now PEF, Inc. in TN. I'm looking for anything...old ads or any information about the company or Mr. Nesbitt and exactly what he breakthrough invention was in 1917. Thank you. Joye

I have nothing printed on them, but I am familiar with them and have serviced them.
