Blacking and Stain Manufacture .- Charles L. Hauthaway commenced in the smallest way to manu- facture 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 extensively used in other countries. His business had increased to such an extent as to re- quire a partner. Accordingly he formed a partnership with his sons, who now are among the largest manu- facturers in the market, and their goods are widely known. The firm is known as C. L. Hauthaway & Sons. They have an office at 233 Congress Street, Boston, with factories at Lynn and South Boston.
George H. Wood & Co. arc proprictors of Lincolu Blacking Company, manufacturers of all kinds of leather-dressing, ink, stains, " ladies' blacking," etc., under the management of Charles B. Lincoln. Their factory is in Brockton, with an office at 49 High Street, Boston.
David Whittemore, Elisha Washburn, Thomas W. Pope, and Billings & Bassett have been more or less engaged in this kind of manufacturing.
O. O. Patten & Co. commenced the manufacture

of dressing, blacking, 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 burn- ishing ink, stains, etc., in 1852, and has continued to the present time. He has a large sale throughout the United States.
Miscellaneous Manufactures .- Brockton Stay Company was organized in 1878, the firm being Gay- ner & Campbell, with a capital of $1000. In 1881 the firm became Gayner & Walker. Value of annual product, about 850,000. Employ 10 hands.
F. M. Shaw & Son commenced business in 1878 for the manufacture of heels, and extracting oils from scrap-leather. Began in a small way, and when started employed about 12 hands ; now employ over 100. In addition to this business they run a naphtha establishment for the purpose of extracting oil and bleaching calf-skirting. Make specialty of renovating carpets and clothing by the naphtha process.
Maloon & Peirce established business about the year 1872 for the purpose of crimping, stamping, scotching. perforating. and pinking. Commenced the manufacture of shoes in June, 1883. When started employed 7 or 8 hands, and now employ 60. Their business is increasing, turning out 20 cases per day. Firm, E. J. Maloon, C. J. Peirce.
Baxendale & Co .. box-toe manufacturers. This business was established about 1872, and now manu- factures more box-tocs for men's boots and shoes than any other firm exclusively engaged in the business in the country. In the months of January and Febru- ary of this year this firm made 1,100,000 pairs, or 2.200,000 box-toes. Each box was handled in the process of sorting, skiving, pressing, sand-papering, finishing, counting, etc., nine times,-that is, during these two months there were performed in this little factory, outside of the general work of preparing dics, shipping goods, etc., 198,000,000 of distinct manipu- lations. Employ 20 hands. The building occupied by this firm was formerly the Adelphian Academy, an old landinark of Brockton, corner Centre and Montello Streets.
Charles Howard & Co., needle manufacturers. This establishment was founded in 1857 by Mr. Howard, who continued it as sole proprietor until 1869, when his sons, Charles and H. H. Howard, became associ- ated with him, under the firm-name of Charles How- ard & Co. Mr. Howard retired in 1872, and the business has since been conducted by Charles and H. H., retaining, however, the firm-name of Charles
Howard & Co. During the first year the production did not exceed 75,000 needles. They now manufacture nearly 10,000,000 per year, employing 125 hands, value of annual product amounting to $100,000.
Reed Brothers, tack manufacturers. This business was established by D. L. & F. S. Recd in 1877, in the old Packard mill. In 1881 the firm built a rolling- mill at Matfield, and in 1884 erected a large factory, one hundred and seventy-five by forty feet, two stories, which is supplied with a one hundred and seventy- five horse-power engine. In 1885 the Matfield rolling- mill, erccted in 1881, will be removed to Brockton and enlarged, and the business will be greatly in- creased. Every branch of the manufacture will be conducted on a large scale, including tacks, spikes, cut nails, and steel shanks for boots and shocs.
W. W. Cross & Co., tack manufacturers. The old factory now occupied by Mr. Cross for the manufac- ture of tacks and nails, as far as can be learned, has been occupied by various concerns for the past one hundred years. Mr. Cross, when starting in 1869, employed about 10 hands, and now employs 20.

We take great pleasure in recording the above list to show to what extent the people of the town have been an inventive people. By these we can see that there has been a considerable of patience and perse- vering industry in the town sinee the year 1800.
JESSE REED .- Among the prominent ones, and deserving special notice, is that of Jesse Reed, who was born in North Bridgewater, Aug. 29, 1778. At the age of nine years he went to Easton to reside with Mr. Dean, with whom he resided three years, during which time his mechanical taste was displayed in the construction of a trip-hammer, put in operation by a wheel and eam-shaft, propelled by water. At the age of twelve he returned to his father, and soon after constructed the main part of a wooden elock. At the age of fifteen he was apprenticed to a joiner in Randolph, Mass., where he served a regular apprenticeship at that business.
During this period he tried his skill on perpetual motion, and the result of his labors is thus given in his own words : " I worked two days and three nights without sleep. The last night, a little before day- light, I got it ready to put into operation; and, to avoid notice, I went into a little pine grove with a friend to put it together and set it in motion. I found that, as soon as it was put together, it would go as well one way as the other, and that it would not go either way without help. I was then fully convinced that it was out of the power of man to put machinery together so as to produce perpetual motion, and that nothing short of the power to ereate could do it. To this belief I have ever sinee ad-
hered." His first invention was a rotary pump, which was soon laid aside. His mind was next drawn to improvements in the manufacture of cut nails from heated rods; his next plan was to roll the iron to a thickness, and slit it into pieces of the right size for the body of the nail, and flatten the point ; but this plan failed. The next plan was to cut and head nails at one operation. Soon after .this he established a machine-shop in a small house, near a waterfall, the upper part of which he used as a residence, the lower portion as a shop. Here he built two or three nail-machines, which caused him pecuniary embarrassment, and he lost all,-his labor and money. From thence he removed to Boston and worked at his trade of joiner, and was employed in constructing the first loek on the canal through Medway. He then removed to Providenee, R. I. ; from thence he removed to West Bridgewater, and commenced making a machine for making fourpenny nails, to be propelled by foot, making sixty-two nails per minute. He next made machines for fourpenny and sixpenny nails, and set up in Plymouth, Mass .; from thence he removed to Kingston, in 1808. About this time he invented a machine for pulver- izing dye-woods, for Messrs. Barrett & Shattuck, silk dyers, of Malden. Since that time he has invented several machines for different purposes, as machines for steering vessels, different kinds of pumps, cotton-gins, treenail-machines, etc.
Mr. Reed was a man of indefatigable industry, and of indomitable perseverance. He made and lost several fortunes in his day. Free and generous in his manners, he was not one who hoarded his gains to increase his own stores, but considered himself as a public servant, and expended on new inventions the fruits of previous toils. In his old age, not a millionaire resting from his labors, he was ever at work, with a mind as active and vigorous as when young, at Marshfield, Mass., where he closed his eventful life.
Among the inventions of Mr. Reed we notice sev- eral of the patents are for use in the making of shoes and boots, which have been of great service to the public.

thoroughfare through this town was what was termed the " Old Bay Path," reaching far out towards the shore towns. This was also called, in the records of early date, the " Country Road," and which extended the entire length of the town, and at first was very crooked.

The road was finally built through the generosity of public-spirited individuals, among whom were Col. Edward South worth, Franklin Ames, Esq., Charles Packard, and others interested.
