Soldering, or soft soldering, is any joining of metals using a filler metal that melts below 840degrees F.
Note that the melting points for silver soldering are considerably higher.   “Silver solder” is a misnomer and is a form of brazing. It is sometimes referred to as “silver braze.” The American Welding Society discourages the term “silver solder.”
Joseph Horne (1826–1892) was born in
Bedford County, Pennsylvania
, the son of John Horn and Catherine Otto, grandson of Henry Horn, who had served in the Continental Army. Joseph moved three counties west to Pittsburgh and found his first job in the retail trade with Christian Yeager, the father of
South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club
member H. C. Yeager. Soon, Joseph moved to the F.H. Eaton store, and became a partner.  He bought the business in 1849, at age 23, renaming it The Joseph Horne Company.  He joined forces with Christian B. Shea and A. P. Burchfield, whose families intermarried and entered the business, and brought an elegance to this emporium that has never been equaled in Pittsburgh.
The Joseph Horne Company, often referred to simply as Joseph
Horne's or Horne's, was an iconic, regional department store chain
based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.    The store was one of the oldest in the country being founded on February 22, 1849
,
but was often overlooked as it maintained only a regional presence.   The chain ceased operations in 1994 after being merged with the Lazarus division of Federated Department Stores.
