The Marlboro Wire Goods Company also has, for many years, produced a variety of items that are used in the manufacture of shoes and which are distributed on a national basis by an organization that specializes in shoe factory equipment.
This equipment for shoe factories consists of sole racks and trays, box toe holders, upper holders, tag

After a modest beginning as Providence Automatic Stamping Company, July 5, 1925, in Providence, Rhode Island, the company moved to Marlboro, Mass., in Oc- tober 1927, where it became known as Johnson-Claflin Corporation, under the management of co-founders Gustav J. Johnson, President, and Frederick E. Claflin, Sr., Treasurer. Metal stampings, tools and dies, gages and fixtures were the specialties of the concern at that time, and still continue to be the leading factor in mak- ing the concern the success it is today.
During World War II, the concern enlisted its facili- ties for the duration of the war, and contributed im- measurably in the manufacture of war material.
During the years after the war, a new product was introduced to the public manufactured by the firm, it being a twin-oven oil and gas kitchen range bearing the trade name "New England Maid." At the present time the range is also available with gas and oil, both ovens operating independently.
Frederick E. Claflin, Sr., Treasurer and director of the company, retired from active participation in the company, May 9, 1958, after thirty-one years in the business. Mr. Claflin is presently making his home in Ormond Beach, Florida.
In February of 1959, Gustav J. Johnson, President and co-founder of the company passed away at the age of 81, and his oldest son, Herbert G. Johnson, who was associated with his father in the business, became Presi- dent. Gunnar V. Johnson, another son, became Treas- urer and director to replace Mr. Claflin on his retirement.
At present the company management is composed of the three sons of Gustav J. Johnson, namely, Herbert G. Johnson, President, Gunnar V. Johnson, Treasurer, Kenneth J. Johnson, Director, and Frederick E. Claflin, Jr., Director.
The Marlboro Telephone exchange was first estab- lished in May 1880 and, was taken over by the New England Telephone & Telegraph Company in 1883.
The exchange was originally located at the site of the present Lamson Block then known as Burke's Block. As business increased and more space was needed the exchange was moved to the Corey Building upon its completion in 1900; it remained there until March of 1959.
The first manager was Ralph Walker and as far as can be determined one of the first customers was at that time the Dart Express, known today as the Wheeler Dart Express.
The system was changed from the Magnetto or crank type, to common battery in August 1911, and to dial operation March 1959.
Telephones in service 1906-700, 1910-1006, 1920- 2058, 1940-3555, 1950-5767, 1958-7889, and as of March 1960-9167 with 6793 subscribers.
The Marlboro Division of the Worcester Gas Light Company, New England Gas and Electric Association (formerly the Marlborough Gas Light Company) has been an entity in this community for approximately one- third of the City's lengthy history. The old company was incorporated on February 15th, 1865, by a special act of the legislature. The original incorporators were
Samuel Boyd, Thomas Corey and Joseph Boyd, with real estate not to xeceed $20,000 and a capital stock limitation of $50,000.
The Hudson Gas Light Company was incorporated in 1902 by an act of legislature. This company was in- corporated by a group of ten men.
On April 15, 1904, the Hudson Gas Light Company was actually purchased by the Marlboro Company and at that time became known as the Marlboro-Hudson Gas Light Company when the State Legislature authorized the two companies to consolidate.
In 1939 the consolidated companies were pur- chased by the New England Gas and Electric Associa- tion from the New England Electric System, and it was at this time that the present Division Manager, George A. Ohman was transferred from the Worcester Gas Light Company to head the new company. Ten years later, the company was actually merged with and became a division of Worcester Gas Light Company.
The Company now supplies gas to approximately 7,000 customers in Marlboro, Hudson, Maynard, Stow and Southboro. The territory served by the company is adjacent to that of the Framingham Division of Worces- ter Gas Light Company and the Marlboro Division has for a number of years purchased its entire gas require- ments in bulk from the parent unit. Natural gas was introduced into the company transmission system in 1951.
Since the advent of Natural gas in this area, the local company has had a tremendous growth in cus- tomers. At the present time it has over two thousand house heating customers, sixteen hundred tenement heating customers and eighteen hundred kitchen heat- ing customers.
In 1939 when the local company was purchased its personnel consisted of seventeen employees and four vehicles. At the present time the personnel has increased to forty-one and the vehicles increased to twenty-one units. Also in 1939 the company had 4,369 customers on its lines and at the present time it has 7,010 customers.
Electricity came to Marlboro in 1886. The original company was the Marlborough Schuyler Electric Com- pany which was organized on February 15 of that year. The company started in business with $25,000. The incorporators and officers were President Lorren Arnold, Vice President S. Herbert Howe, Treasurer Charles F. Holyoke, William N. Davenport, Charles E. Dustin, H. M. Linnell, and C. H. Stone. The company name was changed to Marlborough Electric Company in 1889. Twelve years later the company extended its service to Southborough, and in subsequent years to North- borough in 1908, Berlin in 1909, Westborough in 1910, and Bolton in 1912.
In later years the Marlborough Electric Company was acquired by a utility group. Then in the early 1930's it became obvious that small electric companies could be operated more efficiently if they were banded together into larger operations.
On July 6, 1938, Marlborough Electric Company was consolidated into the Worcester Suburban Electric Company. Then in February 1951, seven companies in the area merged into Worcester County Electric Com- pany. Today, Worcester County Electric serves Marl-

boro and 76 other cities and towns in the Central Massa- chusetts area. Worcester County Electric is a subsidiary of the New England Electric System which is the largest electric utility in the New England area.
Continuing in the tradition of Marlboro's early agri- cultural importance, are the florist and orchard indus- ties. Charles Trombetta's greenhouses are a familiar sight to all who travel Route 20. As a producer of car- nations exclusively, Mr. Trombetta's twenty-four-year- old business is one of many in New England which sup- ply the nation's demand for this flower. It is a five million dollar a year business in Massachusetts alone. Mr. Trombetta has done much pioneer work in the im- provement of the strains of this flower which was intro- duced from Greece about 100 years ago. The carnations grown in his greenhouses supply florists throughout the country.
The produce of its orchards has been another of Marlboro's claims to fame. People from all over New England identify our city as "the place where the apples grow." The magnificent spring panorama of apple blos- soms at the Curtis and Rice orchards, or the sight at harvest time of the trees bent to the ground with the succulent red fruit are scenes unforgettable to the Marl- boro citizen or visitor. Progress is inevitable and it is noted with regret the inroads which housing and com- mercial development have necessitated in the lands which were once orchards. However, it is hoped that although produced on a more limited scale, the apple, native here before the white man came, will not disap- pear from our countryside.
TRANSPORTATION
When Marlborough was first setled, the "Connecti- cut Way," or road, ran through the town. Over this road, called by the people the "Great road," the first line of mail coaches was run by Captain Pease, and it was over this road that General Washington passed in 1789, when he stopped and dined at the old Williams Tavern.
By 1850, however, a railroad branch line had been run to Marlboro from what is now the Boston and Maine R. R. which then connected Boston with Fitch- burg, Mass. This branch had its terminal in that part of Marlboro that was set off as the Town of Hudson, which was also a shoe making center. In 1885 this branch-line was extended to the center of Marlboro by, a company composed of Marlboro stockholders. The
terminal was a depot which stood where the Immaculate Conception school now is, at the corner of Prospect and Washington Sts. In the same year, through the influence of Samuel Boyd, another branch line was run from what is now the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad to a depot at the corner of Main and Florence Sts. A railroad line was at that time being built to connect to the Boston and Worcester railroad at Framingham, and thence to Fitchburg, and crossing through a corner of Marlboro in the south part of the town. The State had issued charter rights for the construction, and, as that charter mentioned Marlboro, Mr. Boyd, practically at his own expense, had a spur track run to Marlboro's Main St. This proved to be a quicker route to Boston than the other "North" route through Hudson, and it
was put into operation a few weeks earlier. The "North Branch" railroad company immediately entered a pro- test and claimed damages for the alienation of their potential carrying business. The matter was debated in the State Legislature for several years, and finally in 1860 the Legislature found in favor of the "South Road," not on the legal aspects of the case, but on the question of public convenience, the majority of the riding public having, over the intervening years, showed a prefer- ence for the "South Road" and this should not be denied them. However, both railroads were prosperous and continued in operation with passenger and freight serv- ice until the passenger business was captured by motor busses and private automobiles operating on the pub- lic highways.
These railroads contributed much to the continued success of the shoe industry in Marlboro as they tied in to all of the railroad network of the country, both in the bringing of raw materials and the transporting of finished goods.
Air travel was introduced in 1927 with the open- ing of the Marlborough Airport. In its early days, its use was limited to barn-storming troupes, popular at that time and during the next decade. World War II caused the closing of the airport until 1946, when it was re-opened. At the present time, it serves in two capacities, that of providing flight instruction, and of conducting charter flights to New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and the Cape. Parachute demonstrations have focused attention on the airport, and it is being used increasingly by business coming into the area with the establishment of new industries.
