Gifford, Alpheus Alden, Daniel H. Cary, Samuel Harris, and Cephas Soule.
PAINTERS -Until within a few years nearly all of the houses were shingled, and the painting of them required but little skill. It usually consisted of Venetian red or yellow ochre, mixed with linseed oil, put on in the coarsest manner by any person. After the custom of clap- boarding and finishing in modern style was introduced, painting became a separate branch of industry. It is now a trade in which people have shown the greatest skill and proficiency, both in house and fancy paint- ing. Among those who have been engaged in that branch of business are : William Tileston, William Vose, William Lewis, Jabez Lamson, Philo W. Richmond, Lucius Richmond, James O. Clapp, Samuel A. Sargent, William G. Marston, A. K. Harmon, John M. Sharpe, C. E. Lawrence, John Wales, Jonathan Beal. Among those of the past thirty years the firm of Lucius Richmond & Co. have been the most promi- nent.

HISTORY OF BROCKTON.
MASONS .- William French, Joseph Brett, Samuel Battles, David Battles, Nahum Battles, Francis B. Washburn, Lewis Washburn, Sidney L. Washburn, Freeman Washburn, and David Mason are among those who have worked at this branch of business.
TIN-PLATE AND SHEET-IRON WORKERS .- Lorenzo D. Hervey came from West Bridgewater to Campello in April, 1839, and established a tinware manufactory in company with David Hervey in the building north of the residence of Bela Keith, esq , in Campello. The firm was dissolved in about one year, and David Hervey sold his interest to Rob- ert Smith, of New Bedford, who continued one year, when Mr. Smith removed to New Bedford. Mr. Hervey removed to the Centre village, and occupied the building that had previously been used as a shoe manufactory by Bradford Dunbar & Co., opposite William Ryder's resi- dence, on or near the site where the Catholic church is located on Main street. At this time Mr. Smith again became associated with him, un- der the firm of Smith & Hervey. The firm continued to do business for fourteen years, since which time Mr. Hervey continued alone in business on Main street, nearly opposite Centre street, up to the day of his death. The business has consisted mostly in making tinware for the various peddlers who have driven from there to all parts of the country, and dealing in all kinds of kitchen furnishing goods, stoves, etc.
Soon after the above dissolution of the copartnership of Smith & Her- vey, Mr. Smith opened a hardware and furnishing store in Bixby's block, corner Main and School streets, and was succeeded by Liberty D. Pack- ard in the same business.
James D. Baldwin came from Pittsburg, Pa., in 1862, and opened a store for the manufacture of stoves, tinware and kitchen furnishing goods in the building formerly occupied by Ellis J. Morton as a hat manufactory. Mr. Baldwin was succeeded by E. Z. Stevens & Co.
Lorenzo Tuck came to town a few years since and opened a shop of the above kind in the building formerly occupied by Messrs. William F. Brett & Co. as a tailor shop on School street.
Since the above, the city is well supplied with all kinds of steam and gas fitting, plumbing and tinsmiths, and dealers in stoves and general house- furnishing goods.

MISCELLANEOUS.
DENTISTS-The first person who did anything in the way of dental operations (except tooth pulling, which was usually done by the physi- cians) was Dr. J. L. Lyman, who usually came to town once a year, and did all there was to be done in that line. It soon increased to such an extent as to make it a permanent local business. Dr. Julius Thompson next occupied an office over D. F. Studley's jewelry store. He was suc- ceeded by Dr. George R. Whitney, who came from Provincetown, May 1, 1854. The next person in the business was Dr. Loring W. Puffer, who came from Stoughton and occupied an office in Drayton's building on Main street. He now has his office on Green near Main street. The next person engaged in that calling was Dr. Josiah E. Packard, who commenced in August, 1856; he had an office over Benner & Co.'s dry goods store on Main street. He is now located in his own block, cor- ner Main and West Elm streets.
Those engaged in that business at the present time are Dr. Puffer, Packard Brothers, E. J. Thompson, J. J. Vincent, Edward S. Powers, Henry H. Filoon, George D. Barnet, W. J. Currier, Fred. S. Faxon, George E. Woodbury, George A. Thacher, and J. F. Allen at Campello. Many of the offices in this department are elegant, and the work done in Brockton is first class.
BLACKING AND STAIN MANUFACTURE .- Charles L. Hauthaway commenced in the smallest way to manufacture boot and shoe blacking, ink, etc., in 1845, which business has increased to such an extent that it has become the leading article in the American market, and also ex- tensively used in other countries. His business had increased to such an extent as to require a partner. Accordingly he formed a partner- ship with his sons, who now are among the largest manufacturers in the market, and their goods are widely known. The firm is known as C. L. Hauthaway & Sons. They have an office in Boston, with factories at Lynn and South Boston.
George H. Wood & Co. were proprietors of Lincoln Blacking Com- pany, manufacturers of all kinds of leather dressing, ink, stains, ladies' blacking, etc., under the management of Charles B. Lincoln. Their fac- tory is in Brockton, with an office at 49 High street, Boston.
David Whittemore, Elisha Washburn, Thomas W. Pope, and Bil- lings & Bassett have been more or less engaged in this kind of manu- facturing.
542
HISTORY OF BROCKTON.
O. O. Patten & Co. commenced the manufacture of dressing, black- ing, and burnishing inks, cements, wax, etc., in 1867. Mr. Patten was formerly a shoe manufacturer, and a pioneer in the fine shoe business. The present firm consists of O. O. Patten, W. H. Wade, and E. E. Averill.
T. W. Pope commenced the manufacture of burnishing ink, stains, etc , in 1852, and has continued to the present time. He has a large sale throughout the United States.

B ROCKTON AS A TOWN .- In the history of Brockton we have given the incorporation of the original town of Bridgewater, the incorporation of the North Parish, as well as the incorporation of the town of North Bridgewater, and as that town and Brockton are now in common, it is proper to give a brief account of the changing of the name to the municipality known as the town of Brockton, as well as the names of those who were instrumental in bringing about the present name of Brockton.
From 1821 to 1870 the territory within the limits of Brockton was known as North Bridgewater. During the year 1870.a large number of the citizens began to consider the expediency of a change of name,
543
BROCKTON AS A TOWN.
substituting a shorter name, and one not so easily confounded with other localities similar in their pronunciation. The reasons given were many -some very good, others of but little account. In the early part of 1871 various names were suggested as being appropriate, among which was the Pilgrim name of " Winslow." At an informal meeting of the friends of a proposition for changing the name, held in the selectmen's room Monday evening, January 23, 1871, several names were suggested, and one or two ballots were taken. The following were among the many proposed : Standish, Madison, Pyrola, Oriole, Langdon, Gaston, Aberdale, Alden, Montello, and Norwood, a decided preference being given to the last mentioned. This meeting ended without definite ac- tion. Charles C. Bixby was chairman of this meeting, and J. Herman French, secretary.
The next move was a petition signed by nearly two hundred and fifty persons in favor of a change, headed by the name of Hon. Edward Southworth, jr., and asking for a public meeting, which was held in Mur- ray Hall, Friday evening, January 27, 1871, for a discussion of the whole subject.
That our readers may understand the meaning of the movement effecting an alteration in the name of the town, we insert the following :
We, the undersigned, hereby signify our desire to adopt a new name for our town, and that a meeting be held at Murray Hall, on Friday evening, January 27, 1871, for the purpose of a popular discussion of the subject.
