Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Manufacturing and Mechanical Industries, of Worcester
In September, 1815, Thomas William Stowell advertise that they have improved the building lately occupied for a wire-factory, one and a half miles south of the meeting-house, where they have put their works in the best order for dressing cloth, and are in readiness to meet any demands in their business.
It may be interesting to note, in passing, that at this time the postage to Boston, on single letters, was fifteen cents.
