There were no newspapers and no other enterprises in the way of printing until after this press failed. It failed because it was a great monopoly. Immediately afterwards newspapers sprang up in Boston, Worcester, and other places, and soon after a press was established in Philadelphia and finally in New York. Franklin quarreled with his brother at Boston, and was driven to Philadelphia, and Bradford, on account of a quarrel with his brother Quakers, w

pains to secure the best editorial talent possible. Its list now includes books by the leading educational men all over the country, and in almost every town in the United States some of their publications are used. The house has for many years been second to none in the educational value of its books, and in the short space of a little over a quarter of a century has grown to be the largest single schoolbook house in America. It has branch offices in New York, Chicago, Columbus, Atlanta, Dallas, and London, England. Over fifty traveling agents are employed in the work of introducing its books. The following members compose the firm:— Edwin Ginn, of Boston, the founder of the house; G. A. Plympton, of New York; Fred B. Ginn, of Oakland, Cal.; Justin H. Smith, of Boston; T. P. Ballard, of Chicago; Lewis Parkhurst, of Boston; S. S. White, of Boston; O. P. Conant, of New York; Ralph L. Hayes, of Philadelphia; T. W. Gilson, of Chicago; F. M. Ambrose, of New York; and H. H.

as removed to the large building which he has erected at No. 26 Brattle Street. Mr. McNamee does a large business with public libraries, and his customers are scattered all over the country. He employs thirty-five people, and during the year 1895 forty thousand volumes passed through his hands. The class of work turned out varies from the leather bindings, used by colleges and public libraries, to the costly tool-finished volumes for collectors. Musical instruments The Mason & Hamlin Co. In 1854 Henry Mason and Emmons Hamlin formed a partnership for the manufacture of melodeons, and in 1861 the American cabinet or parlor organ was introduced in its present form by that firm. The merits of the improved instrument were soon recognized, and the organs were sold in all parts of America. The manufacture was commenced on Cambridge Street, Boston, in a small way, but business increased so rapidly that the buildings they occupied were found inadequate. In 1874 they removed

ivilized world, but the largest single shipment for export made by this company was in December, 1892. Twenty-one teams, carrying one hundred and seventy-six organs, were loaded in one day and delivered at the Cunard Docks to be forwarded to Liverpool. The warerooms of the company are on Boylston Street, Boston. Samuel S. Hamill. Cambridge is not far behind her sister cities in the art of church-organ building. Pipe organs have been built here since 1809. William M. Goodrich, of Templeton, Mass., began building church organs in Boston in 1799. Ten years later he moved his factory to the Third Ward, Cambridge, at the corner of Fifth and Otis streets. He continued the art till the time of his death, which occurred in 1833. He was succeeded by Stevens & Gaieti, at the same stand, and subsequently by George Stevens, once mayor of Cambridge. Mr. Stevens pursued the same business till 1891. Mr. S. S. Hamill established himself in the art of church-organ building in 1859, on Gore

Wilson, the present manager of the establishment. The George G. Page Box Co. The George G. Page Box Co. has grown with our city's progress until it is now the largest concern of the kind in the New England States. Mr. George G. Page, whose name the company bears, and who was its founder, was born in Dorchester, N. H., in 1807. In 1844 Mr. Page commenced the manufacture of boxes and packing-cases in Cambridgeport, his shop being on what is now Magazine Street, where all the work was done by hand. In 1845 he built a small factory and dwelling-house at the junction of Hampshire Street and Broadway, the site now occupied by the present corporation. In 1857 the factory and dwelling-house were both totally destroyed by fire. Mr. Page rebuilt his factory upon a larger scale. Into his new building he

been able to find sufficient corroboration. Stephen Daye was apparently an employee of the president. He was not a successful printer. He did not know how to spell or punctuate, or to do a great many things that printers are expected to do. He was soon after dismissed from the office. He then became a real-estate agent. Among other transactions he sold twenty-seven acres of land for a cow, a calf, and a three-year-old heifer. He also owned land in the outlying districts, mainly in Lancaster, Mass. In my judgment Mr. Daye was not in any sense the first printer. The first printer was Dunster. Although he did not set up type (it is not quite certain that Stephen Daye himself did), he was the controlling power of the press, and so far as a man who marries a printing press, and has control of it, can be called a printer, Dunster was that printer. After Mr. Daye left the press, which was very soon after new relations had been established, a man by the name of Greene, who came over w

Briefly, the thousands of patterns cover pumps for handling any fluid or semi-fluid or liquor, whether acid or alkali, under all conditions, from the lightest pressure up to twenty-five thousand pounds per square inch; and similarly any gas or vapor under vacuum or various degrees of compression,—all these machines

he village of West Windsor, Vt. He remained with Mr. Orvis until the winter of 1837, and, although everything was conducted on a very small scale, he gained a good deal of insight into the methods of business management. In the winter of 1837, feeling the need of a better education, he attended the academy at Unity, N. H., of which the late Rev. A. A. Miner was then the principal; and during a part of the same year, to enable him to pay his expenses at the academy, he taught school at Cavendish, Vt. This finished his school education. He left the home of his boyhood, and moved to Boston March 19, 1838. He went to work immediately for Nathan Robbins, who was in business in Quincy Market, now commonly called Faneuil Hall Market, and continued with him until April 30, 1842, when he started for himself and formed a partnership with Francis Russell, under the style of Russell & Squire, at No. 25 Faneuil Hall Market, where the new firm carried on a provision business until 1847, when it
