POPULATION .- That of the Indian plantation of Natick at different periods has already been given. It was probably the largest just before the beginning of King Philip's War, 1675. The first census was ordered by the British Government in 1764. At that time Natick contained 185 Indians, 24 negroes and mulattoes, 450 whites, total 659, of whom three were slaves; 1776, 535; 1800, 694; 1810, 760; 1820, 849; 1830, 890; 1835, about 1000; 1840, 1285; 1850, 2816; 1855, 4138; 1860, 5515; 1865 (after the war), 5220; 1870, 6404 ; 1875, 7419; 1880, 8565; 1885, 8460. At the present time, January 1, 1890, supposed to be about 10,000.

WATER DEPARTMENT .- In addition to notices of this already given, we add from superintendent's re- port, March 1, 1889, the following : Number of ser- vices in use, 1349 ; total cost on construction account, $160,042.69 ; total cost of pumping station and pumps, $45,856.88 ; cost of reservoir, $17,554.81 ; ser- vice pipe, net, $10,480.22; total cost of water works, $232,934.60 ; collected 1888-89 for water rates, fines, etc. (12 months), $19,173.40. J. W. Morze is super- intendent .*

FIRE DEPARTMENT .- Already noticed in part. From report March 1, 1889, it appears that one of the two steamers is considerably worn, and the hose-car- riages also. The fire alarm system has been extended four additional miles and six new boxes added, so that now there are nine boxes and eleven miles of wire. During the last twelve months the alarms of fire were twenty-eight. Insurance on buildings and contents injured, $33,200. Amount of insurance paid, $14,757.02. Loss where there was no insurance, $1715. Whole amount expended during the year, $5227.85.

BANKS. - Natick National Bank .- The charter of this bank was granted May 14, 1873, and it com- menced business July 31, 1873, in the brick block owned by Nathaniel Clark, with a capital of $100,000. The first directors were Leonard Winch, John B. Walcott, Nathaniel Clark, Harrison Harwood, Jr., Lewis Wight and George Clark. Harrison Harwood, Sr., and Richard Hayes were directors for a number of years. The directors at the present time are Har- rison Harwood, Riley Pebbles, Leonard Winch, Ed- ward Clark, O. A. Felch and Frank H. Hayes. Leon- ard Winch has been president from the beginning, and has been identified with the business interests of Natick as merchant, real estate owner and banker for nearly fifty years. The first cashier was George S. Trowbridge, who held this position till his death, in September, 1886. October 1, 1886, Mr. S. W. Holmes was elected cashier, and is such now, December, 1889. Mr. Holmes had previously been clerk, book-keeper and teller of the National Bank of Orange, Mass., en- tering it in 1881. When he was twenty-one years old he became cashier of the Natick Bank, being at that time the youngest cashier in Massachusetts. Mr. F. O. Baston was assistant cashier from September, 1886, until May, 1889, when he resigned to become the treasurer of the Natick Five-Cents Savings Bank. Mr. Frank O. Brown and Mr. Fred. B. Washburn, both Natick young men, and educated in Natick High School, are, respectively, teller and clerk, and they, like the senior officers of the bank, have deserv- edly the confidence of the community.

After the great Natick fire in 1874 the bank had temporary quarters in the Harwood Block, but re- turned to its pleasant and commodious rooms on the second floor of Clark's new block, corner of Main and Summer Streets, as soon as the present block was completed. Fifty-eight of the ninety-two stockhold- ers reside in Natick and these hold 730 of the 1000 shares. The first dividend was paid October 1, 1874, and ever since the bank has paid eight per cent., free from tax, annually, with the exception of one year, when it paid seven per cent. The total amount paid in dividends has been $114,000. In 1874 the num- ber of open accounts kept with the bank was 110, and the deposits $60,000, while January 1, 1889, the former were 350 and the deposits $240,000. The sur- plus and undivided profits of the bank amount to $30,000. The policy of the bank, from the beginning has been to do a safe, conservative business, while fostering all the interests and meeting all the wants of the town as far as consistent with safety ; and the same principle has been adopted with regard to the public generally.

Natick Five-Cents Savings Bank .- The charter of

this bank was granted in April, 1859. The corpora- tors were Edward Walcott, Nathaniel Clark, Horace B. Morse, Willard C. Childs, Franklin Hanchett, Leonard Winch and William Edwards, with all the powers and privileges and subject to all the duties, liabilities and restrictions common in such cases. Officers of the bank were elected August 23, 1859, as follows : President, John Kimball; Vice-Presidents, Leonard Winch and John J. Perry ; Trustees, Wil- lard Drury, John W. Bacon, John O. Wilson, Dex- ter Washburn, J. B. Walcott, James M. Bent, James Bullard, George Jennings, G. W. Pierce; Investing Committee, B. F. Ham, Henry Coggin, John Travis, William Edwards and Edward Washburn. Nathan- iel Clark was chosen treasurer September 2, 1859, and held that office till May, 1872, when his successor, James Whitney, was chosen. Mr. Whitney resigned May 1, 1889, by reason of impaired health, when Mr. Frederick O. Baston, lately assistant cashier of' Na- tick National Bank, became treasurer. This savings bank has steadily increased in financial strength as well as popularity, its total assets amounting to more than a million dollars. The deposits, representing the accumulated savings of a great number of families, attest the general thrift and economic habits of the Natick people.

The present officers are: President, John O. Wil- son ; Vice-Presidents, Leonard Winch, John L. Woodman ; Trustees, John O. Wilson, E. P. Hollis. J. L. Woodman, Leonard Winch, Riley Pebbles, Ed- ward Clark, F. E. Cummings, G. W. Howe, Francis Bigelow, William Nutt, O. A. Felch, James M. For- bush, F. M. Boardman, F. H. Hayes ; Investing Com- mittee, Leonard Winch, J. L. Woodman, William Nutt, Francis Bigelow, F. H. Hayes and Frederick O. Baston.

Henry Wilson Co-Operative Bank was established in 1886, with J. R. Adams, president ; E. H. Wilson, vice-president ; Dr. C. W. Smith, secretary ; H. H. Whitney, treasurer, and a full board of directors. M. T. Jones later became secretary. The bank has $53,000 assets and pays six and one-half per cent. interest to about 500 members. The officers now are : President, J. R. Adams; Vice-President, G. H. Ames ; Secretary, M. T. Jones ; Assistant Secretary, A. P. Cheney ; Treasurer, H. H. Whitney, with fif- teen directors.

POST-OFFICES.1-Natick office was established Jan- uary 27, 1815 ; Martin Haynes appointed postmaster January 27, 1815; William Farris, January 15, 1818 ; Isaac D. Morse, January 9, 1840; Nathaniel Clark, June 22, 1841; Isaac D. Morse, June 24, 1845; John M. Seaward, July 25, 1849 ; Calvin W. Perry, Novem- ber 7, 1853; George W. Pierce, June 25, 1861 ; John B.

23, 1828. Postmasters: Lester Whitney, May 23, 1828; Ira Cleveland, June 9, 1832; Charles Adams, May 29, 1833; Moses Eames, January 9, 1840; George B. Curtis, May 25, 1841; John Gilman, Jr., June 8, 1844; Moses Eames, June 24, 1845; John Cleland, Jr., September 8, 1849; John I. Perry, April 18, 1854; William H. Wright, April 3, 1857 ; Isaac B.

MANUFACTURES-Boots and Shoes .- The making of these is by no means a new industry in Natick, but the conditions and results of this business have greatly changed within the last half-century. Natick had, like all country towns, its shoemakers from the beginning, but until about the year 1828 these con- fined themselves to custom-work and repairing, and never attempted to furnish supplies for a general market. In the year just named Edward Walcott, who then resided iu the west part of the town, com- menced the manufacture of boots and shoes upon a larger scale than the local trade called for or would | justify, and a few years later found him established in the centre of the town and employing about one hundred workmen. In 1856 Mr. Walcott is said to have put upon the market three millions of pairs.

John B. Walcott was later in this business by a few years, but, in twenty years, had made 1,099,763 pairs. In 1836 Isaac Felch began the same business, and soon employed seventy or eighty workmen, who made 50,000 or 60,000 pairs annually. Henry Wilson, be- ginning at the bottom and learning the trade of a shoemaker, became a manufacturer in 1838, and is said to have made-in the eleven years in which he continued this business-664,000 pairs. E. & F. Hanchett or F. Hanchett & Co. were large manufactu- rers, and in 1853 had one hundred and seventy-four employees, viz., one hundred and twenty males and fifty-four females.2

It is to be understood that these statements refer to a period before the introduction of labor-saving ma- chinery, when the cutting of the leather and the fin- ishing and packing of the goods were done in centrally located shops, while the making was all done by hand, and chiefly at the homes of the workmen. A revolu- tion in the whole business has followed the introduc- tion of machinery in nearly every department of the work, and the use of steam-power in driving the vari- ous machines.

One of the oldest and the largest of the modern factories is that of J. O. Wilson & Co. This is situated on North Avenue, and occupies the whole space be- tween Walnut and Washington Streets. The owners are John O. Wilson and H. G. Wood. Like nearly all who succeed in this business, the senior partner first learned to make boots and shoes by hand, and was employed in this manner about twelve years. In

1863 this factory was established. Additions from time to time have given it its present large propor- tions. There are four hundred names on its pay. roll. Brogaus and plow-shoes are its chief productions, though of late a fiuer and better kind of goods is made for the Southern market. One million of pairs are made annually, and the annual sales amount to $1,250,000. C. H. Moulton, of Boston, makes the sales. Power is applied to all the latest improved machinery. The establishment is lighted by electricity. The junior partner, Mr. Wood, now manages the details of this large business. (For additional concerning Mr. Wilson, see Biographical.)

Riley Pebbles & Co. (owner, Riley Pebbles) .- Estab- lished in 1853. Goods,-brogans, plow-shoes, Impe- rials, Congress, slippers, etc., and almost all kinds of foot-ware, including hob and Hungarian boots and shoes, especially "Pebbles' Seamless Balmorals ; " a much greater variety of production than comes from most factories. Annual production, 290,000 pairs. Amount of annual sales, $325,000.

Mr. Pebbles has ten salesmen almost continually on the road, each with a separate territory, and selling in all parts of the United States. On the pay-roll, 150. Wages paid annually, $83,000. Power is applied in nearly every department, from sole-cutting to finish- ing. Superintendent, William S. Morey ; book- keeper, Mary A. Blaney; assistant book-keeper, William F. Quinlan ; clerk, William O. Cutler.

Mr. Pebbles is among the pioneer manufacturers in this part of the State, having been in business thirty- six years ; was among the first to test and introduce the best labor-saving machines, quite a number of which are his own invention.

He has also made many improvements upon the inventions of others. He puts upon the market several kinds of his own patent shoes, which are more or less complicated, and the idea of furnishing soles, taps and half-soles to cobblers throughout the country came from Mr. Pebbles. He had built for himself the first "beam sole-cutting machine" that was really successful. The reputation of Mr. Pebbles in the market as the inaker of goods that will stand the test of severe use is unrivaled. His Boston office, which he visits daily, is at 59 Lincoln Street.

At present he does not use steam-power, but his goods are all made by hand. He lost his very valuable factory on Main Street in the great fire of 1874, and has since conducted his business in two or three lo- calities. The site of his former factory is now occu- pied by one of the best business blocks of Natick, which Mr. Walcott erected in 1888 and owns.

Clark's Brick Block .- This, which is the largest business block in Natick, or in this part of the Com- monwealth, stands partly upon the site of a similar but smaller structure, which was erected in 1872, only to be burned in the great fire of 1874. That block was about 100 feet in length and three stories high, while the present structure is of the same height, but 260 feet long. The latter, as was true of its pre- decessor, was built and is owned by Mr. Nathaniel Clark, who, after a long and useful business life, is passing the time of old age with the respect and af- fection of the entire community.

The chief frontage of this block is on Main Street. The lower story, which is devoted to stores, is occu- pied as follows : Edward Clark, grocer; E. M. Mar- shall, watch-maker and jeweler; W. L. Doane, boots and shoes ; Gardella & Cuneo, fruits; barber; W. F. Cleland & Co., dry-goods ; C. H. Whitcomb, hats and furnishing goods ; Arthur W. Palmer, ready- made clothing and tailor; James H. Frost, apothe- cary ; Charles W. Ambrose, watch-inaker and jew- eler; W. F. Demeritt, tailor; W. H. Jones, boots and shoes ; George L. Bartlett, dry-goods ; Miss C. H.

In the second story are the rooms of the Natick

National Bank and of the Five-Cents Savings Bank (elsewhere described), of O. J. Washburn, dentist, Judge Nutt's law-office and District Court-room ; the offices of tax-collector, of the selectmen, of the over- seers of the poor, of the assessors, of the town clerk, of the School Committee and of the chief of police ; the law-offices of James McManus, I. W. Parker, C. Q. Tirrell, G. D. Tower and L. H. Wakefield ; office of Dr. William Richards ; rooms of John F. Dowsley, dentist ; of Miss L. M. Hart, dress-maker, Palmer's sewing-room and four large rooms occupied by the Natick Citizen Printing and Editing Company. In the third story are four halls, the largest of which -Concert Hall-is more than 100 feet long and well furnished for an audience of 1200 or 1400. This the town uses for all town-hall purposes.

Erwin H. Walcott Brick Block .- Owner, Erwin H. Walcott, at the present time a non-resident. This block fronts on West Central Street. One of the largest stores in it-and the entire second story of the building as well-is occupied by Cleland, Healy & Underwood for the sale of furniture, wall- papers, curtains, and a great variety of small wares. Another store constitutes the grocery establishment of Barnacle & Allen, while the third is the druggist establishment of C. W. Perry, who, in addition to his regular business as an apothecary, is entrusted with the sale of spirituous liquors for medicinal, chemi- cal and mechanical purposes.

The Walcott Building, Mr. J. B. Walcott, owner. This brick and stone block, upon the corner of Main and Summer Streets, was erected in 1888, upon the site of the owner's boot and shoe factory, which was consumed in the great fire of 1874. The new block is by far the most beautiful and elaborately- finished structure in Natick. The lower story on Main Street is constructed of iron and plate-glass, and on Summer street of red sandstone. The upper stories are of brick, with sandstone trimmings. The staircase to the second story is wholly of pol- ished marble, while the flagging-stones of the two fronts are very large and costly stones from the Hudson River Valley, perfectly cut and fitted in the best possible manner. On the lower floor, at the corner, is the spacious, well-lighted and finely- decorated store of Leamy & Tilton, with a large stock of new dry-goods and small wares. On the same floor is the Bay State Clothing Store of Has- tings & Lowell.

On the second floor are six rooms for offices, with a large hall. Above are the elegant quarters of the Red Men, comprising a room for the ladies of the order with ante-rooms. ; also the large hall for the society's gatherings, and their banqueting-hall, with tables and a kitchen and pantry, furnished with ranges and crockery. The walls throughout have been treated with fresco or beautifully-tinted paints, and the entire establishment would be deemed or- namental in any city of our land.
