A Salute to 300 Proud Years


First National Stores hails the historic city of Marlborough on the glorious occasion of its tercentenary ... looks forward to a prosperous fu- ture for this busy, pleasant community where so many of our loyal custo- mers make their homes.


The development of Marlborough industrially has been rapid in the last hundred years, after two centuries as an agricultural area. Marl- borough's contribution to the shoe industry, for example, has been note- worthy. Nevertheless, Marlborough has never lost its New England charm, its Middlesex County identity as one of America's earliest incorporated towns.


NATIONAL


Similarly, First National - another New England institution, - has grown from village store to modern supermarket, yet the principles of friendliness, reliability and thrift, on which it was founded, remain the basis for its service today, just as they will continue to for the future.


FIRST NATIONAL


TORES


"Kent Fire Strike or Mantr Ensup


The early settlers of Marlborough were a law-abid- ing citizenry; the existence of the stocks beneath the stairs of the meeting-house where good people on their way to Sunday-worship could view the miscreant pay- ing the penalty for his crime - probably of shooting a bird on Sunday, blaspheming, or speaking against the government - and the boldly-lettered "DRUNKARD" sign firmly affixed to the back of the weak-willed im- biber attest to the fact that our forebears were not dis- posed to trifle with law and order, and the enforcement thereof. The Village Elders, and later the Selectmen of the Town were judge and jury, as well as arresting offi- cers. But it was not until 1858, very nearly two cen- turies after its establishment that Marlborough saw anything resembling a definite Police Department es- tablished. On May 15 of that year, George H. Warfield was appointed Special Police Officer with all the powers of a Constable. Seven years later, in 1865, the Town by-laws then adopted provided for a sufficient number of police officers to be named to ensure the mainten- ance of law and order, and to arrest any violators of the law. Twenty years later, six men were listed as Constables, including one Jeremiah Keane who served as Chief of Police at that time; their combined salaries for that year totaled $3197.19.


When Marlborough became a city in 1890, the title Chief of Police was replaced by that of City Marshal, until 1925, when the City Council passed an ordinance restoring the title of Chief to the head of the depart- ment. The position of Chief was an appointive one, however, and no particular experience was required of the man the Mayor chose to name head of the De- partment, until the year 1947, when the citizens voted to give the Chief of Police Civil Service status, although all other members of the Police Force had been under Civil Service since 1900.


That same year, the first Police Cruiser, a horse- drawn wagon was purchased and used until 1913 when it was replaced by a patrol wagon and ambulance. The department now has two ambulance-type cruisers, pro- vided with two-way radios, resuscitators, and first-aid equipment. There are, at present, in addition to Chief Clifford A. Scott, four sergeants, 16 regular patrolmen and seven reserve officers.


A photographic section, teletype communications system, installation of additional police emergency call- boxes, and a Safety Program for our schools are among recent innovations.


FIRE DEPARTMENT


The Marlborough Fire Department was established in 1831 when a secondhand "hand-tub" fire engine was purchased by public subscription and a company of volunteers was formed to operate this equipment. Three years later, the citizens added another engine and soon after a third one, so that there was a hand-tub for each of the three villages of the town. In 1849 the town it- self bought three new engines but engine houses and fire companies were the problem of the citizens of


each village. These engines were named the "Torrent" in the East Village, the "Okommakamesit" in the West Village, and the "Eureka" in what is now Hudson. Offi- cers of these companies were the Town's leading citi- zens, and company membership was by election of carefully screened candidates. The companies were ef- ficient and great rivalry existed; there were also social clubs that promoted dances, dinners and fairs by which they obtained money for the up-keep of equipment, the surplus going for uniforms. In 1853 the State Legis- lature passed an act that these companies could be main- tained at public expense and the men in the companies could be paid; three dollars per year was the base pay, and this was turned into the company treasury by the members.


In May of 1860, a ladder company was organized, equipment bought, and a building erected. The Com- pany was named the Union Hook and Ladder Company; Clarence Brigham, who died on March 9, 1960, at the age of 102, was elected a member of this company in May 1878, and was its last surviving member.


All fire apparatus was drawn by hand, and horses were not used until 1889 the same year the public water system was constructed; previous to that date, water was pumped from wells and brooks, each house having its own well, with many shallow cisterns, built by the town for storing water for fire prevention and for fire- fighting. Occasionally one of these old cisterns is en- countered when a street is dug into for reconstruction of drains and sewers.

The ladder company was the elite of the fire de- partment; its social functions were elaborate and the meeting room in its building was carpeted and finely furnished. To this company was later added a hose reel to supplement the hose carried by the engine com- panies. There were many "firemen's musters" when companies from surrounding towns would go into competition for running time, and for distance of spurt- ing water. As sporting events these continue until the present day with old tubs manned by fire buffs. The old Okkoommakamisit tub is now owned by a club in the town of Marblehead, Mass. The ladder company could not find a place in those tub competitions, but made up for it by its superior social role and its more elaborate uniforms.


With the introduction of the public water supply system in Marlboro, the water pressure at street hy- drants was high enough to enable the city to dispense with engines, and hose companies were substituted.


These were horse-drawn, and of course required per- manent fire drivers to care for the horses, usually a single horse to each company. The hose truck wheels were shifted to runners for the winter months. In the changeover to horse drawn apparatus the ladder com- pany was able to maintain its social prestige, as the truck could not be placed on runners for the snowy sea- sons, and consequently had to have much more horse power. No one could ever forget the three-abreast matched white horses drawing the ladder truck, par- ticularly when the horses were attached to the hose reel vehicle and taken out for daily exercise along the Main St. The "hooks" were something!


By 1910 the horse-drawn ladder truck had been supplanted by a motorized piece of apparatus, with solid rubber tires. Soon after all of the fire fighting equipment was motorized, and all horse drawn vehicles gave way to the gasoline powered conveyances, and no more are sparrows seen in flocks along our streets.

CUSTODIANS OF THE FAMOUS


JOHN BROWN BELL


The Story of the John Broum Bell


In the early days of the Civil War, Company I, com- posed of Marlboro men, was assigned to duty in Mary- land near Harper's Ferry to guard against any Confeder- ate attempt to cross the Potomac River and seize the Washington Capitol. It was here that the U.S. Arsenal was located which John Brown, the anti-slavery cru- sader, had captured in 1859 in a futile attempt to rally the slaves into insurrection. It was in the fire house of the Arsenal that Brown was trapped and captured by the U.S. Marines from whence he was brought to a speedy trial and execution for treason. In the northern states he was regarded as a martyr while southerners characterized him as a villain and traitor. The John Brown episode added fire to the differences between northern and southern states, and had helped to bring about the war which was the reason for Company I being at Harper's Ferry.


Company I was assigned the task of removing from the arsenal anything of salvage value. Several men who had been members of the "Torrent" Fire En- gine Company in Marlboro, (the "Torrent" being a hand tub) decided that the bell still hanging in the bel- fry atop the engine house at Harper's Ferry was just what their engine house in Marlboro needed. On Sep- tember 26, 1861, Lt. David Brown led the men of the company in the removal of the bell. Ordered to rejoin the 13th regiment at Williamsport Lock in Maryland, they took the bell with them on a canal boat. The War Department gave them permission to keep the bell, but they found, to their disappointment, that their lack of funds and restrictions on railroad transportation would prevent its shipment to Marlboro at that time.


In the spring of 1862 the regiment was sent into battle, and the Marlboro men left the bell in the care of a Mrs. Snyder who had baked bread for them during the winter. Finally after many engagements and casual- ties, their three year term of enlistment was over, and Company I returned home. The old bell was forgotten. And then in 1892, a G.A.R. National Encampment was held at Washington, D.C., and some of the surviving members of Company I, including some of those who had taken down the bell, decided to go to Williamsport Lock and look up old friends there. Having been re- fused rooms at the local hotel run by an unreconstructed rebel, they went and found the Mrs. Snyder who had cooked for them thirty years before. She took them in for the night, and they found that she had kept their bell for them, part of the time buried in her garden for security.


Lysander Parker and James M. Gleason of the orig- inal Bell squad then had the bell shipped to Marlboro. The "Torrent Engine" and its bell-less house had by then disappeared, and the city of Marlboro had a public water supply that needed no engines. The G.A.R., the John A. Rawlins Post 43 of Marlboro, was then building a three story headquarters for themselves on Main Street and the "John Brown Bell" was placed on the front of this building, overhanging the street, and there it has remained ever since, its high pitched and pene- trating tones sounding out on all appropriate occasions.

Allen's® DEPARTMENT STORES


LEOMINSTER MARLBOROUGH FITCHBURG


Just fifty years ago this June, William A. Allen became the sole owner of the William A. Allen Co.


This culminated a steady succession of resident owners of this de- partment store founded in 1859 by Mr. Charles F. Wilson.


At the death of Mr. William A. Allen in 1938 his son, John G. Allen, succeeded to the ownership and there are now three stores in operation; Marlborough, Leominster and Fitchburg - all under the name of Allen's Department Stores.


More than one hundred years of uninterrupted, honest, upright endeavor in the department store business is the history of this store.


As a centenarian may we congratulate the City of Marlborough on being a tercentenarian.
