1853
FOR 87 YEARS, Gas - the dependable fuel - has un- failingly served the citizens of Haverhill
On Tuesday evening, September 6, 1853, Gas was introduced into the town of Haverhill for the first time. The entire town turned out to celebrate this event. The Hale Guards, accompanied by a Cornet Band, paraded through the streets. At 9 o'clock refreshments were served in the Town Hall and dancing was enjoyed until midnight.
Today Gas is the favorite fuel of over 16,000,000 women for cooking, refrigeration, water heating and house heating. So constant and dependable is the supply of this per- fect fuel that few can recall an occasion when gas service was interupted. Gas is al- ways ready to serve you, any hour of the day or night.

The BANK for the INDIVIDUAL
We were not here to loan wampum to the Indians but we were organized by a group of leading men of Haverhill a quarters century ago to furnish a confi- dential, economical, Banking Service to its people.
To the Haverhill of the past we have rendered such a service.
To the Haverhill of the future we pledge its continuation.

A Product of
Mechanical Ingenuity
The shoe is an outstanding example of modern mechanics. No industry depends upon machinery for its success more than the shoe industry. No industry has at its com- mand a more diversified or highly perfected system of machines. No familiar commodity of equal value requires in its manufacture so many machines and such intricate ones, or goes through so many operations.

Three Hundred Years Ago
Three hundred years ago, the Haverhill Fruit and Produce Company was not in existence. In fact it wasn't until 1922 that this progressive lo- , cal concern was established in small quarters in the rear of 106 Merrimack Street, the Old Tyler estate. Under the energetic management of Paul Wilner and Abraham Merker, the business developed so rapidly that in August of 1927 it was necessary to seek larger quarters and the business was moved to 189 Essex Street.
With the return of legal beer on April 6, 1932, the Haverhill Fruit and Produce Company, formed the subsidiary known as the National Liquor and Beer Co. This company brought into Haverhill the first load of legal beer that had been seen here since the passage of the 18th Amendment. This expansion of the business necessitated the hiring of additional space at 193 Essex Street.
By providing the retail merchants of Haverhill and surrounding towns with quality fruits and produce and speedy market-to-consumer de- livery service, the business continued to expand so rapidly that in 1938 it was necessary to again look for larger quarters. It was as a result of this ex- pansion that the present four-story completely refrigerated brick building at 132 Essex Street was purchased in 1938, from the F. H. Moulton Com- pany. Here, we are able to store our products in the largest and most mod- ern refrigeration plant north of Boston. This enables us to deliver fruits and produce to your neighborhood store in garden-fresh condition. Our fleet of fifteen modern trucks assures our customers of receiving produce direct from the markets of the world in the shortest time possible. We are glad to offer this modern up-to-date service to the people of Haverhill and vicinity.
The National Liquor and Beer Company has been appointed exclusive agents of quality nationally-advertised beers, ales, and wines for distribu -. tion throughout Essex and Middlesex Counties. Among the better known of these products are Pabst Blue Rubbon Beer and Ale, Dawson's Beer and Ale, Krueger Beer and Ales, Wehle Mule-head Beer and Ales, Old Topper Ale and Lager, Horton Beer and Ale, Old Monastary Wine, Old 48 Wines, and Glorietta Wines. The Products are on sale at all licensed liquor deal- ers in Haverhill and vicinity.

"DRUMS OF FREEDOM"
a GERALD J. NOVAK-DONALD H. MARTIN Presentation
ADOLPHE ROBICHEAU, Dance Director
HAVERHILL STADIUM - JUNE 27, 28, 29, 1940
A new story will be enacted in the Haverhill Stadium, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of the Ter- centenary Week when thousands will thrill to the dramatic story of "DRUMS OF FREEDOM"-a tale of three hundred years, embracing the history of Haverhill from its conception to the present time.
A cast of seven hundred and fifty, dressed in the authentic costumes of the period, will enact the epi- sodes. Entirely under professional direction, "DRUMS OF FREEDOM" will be portrayed by a double cast: one developing the action on the stage, the other speaking the lines.
For six months large committees have been at work preparing the details of this outstanding produc- tion. Victorias, tallyhoes, high wheeled bikes, tandems, autos of the Gay '90's, gathered from every source, are but a few of the "properties" that will add to the realism of the presentation.
More than five miles of cable will be used to connect the powerful lights that will flood the stage into daylight brilliance. Around the stage will be placed special spotlights to produce color effects that only such lighting can effect.
Under the stars at the Haverhill Stadium, "DRUMS OF FREEDOM" will be performed. For three nights, June 27, 28, 29, Haverhill will be the home of one of the most unusual productions ever presented.

SYNOPSIS OF THE PAGEANT
EPISODE I "THE PENTUCKETS"
In the dim, dim past, long before the white men entered these shores, a tribe of Red Men, Pen- tuckets held sway. On the banks of the winding Merrimack, the Pentuckets ruled the primeval, little knowing that 'ere many suns had set, the white men would have entered their domain.
Scene 1-The Pentucket Village Scene 2-The Dance to the Hunt God Scene 3-The White Man
EPISODE 2 "THE BANISHMENT"
In England in 1625, a tyrant, Charles the first, sat upon the throne. The despot eyed the non- conformists, the Puritans of the church with hate and suspicion. One fearful day, the scratch of Charles' quill banishes thousands of freedom-wor- shiping souls from their native land.
Scene 1-The Court of Charles I Scene 2-The Banishment
EPISODE 3 "THE PURITANS"
Thousands of men, women, and children faced the stormy seas so that they might worship as they saw fit. Into Boston, into Salem, into Ipswich; they came-their vision "Freedom."
Scene-The Puritans' Arrival
EPISODE + "THE PETITION"
Reverend Nathaniel Ward, a Puritan minister who had settled in Ipswich longed to establish a new colony so that his son, Rev. John Ward might have a parish of his own. After months of thought, he finally sent a petition to Boston asking for permission to settle at the Indian village "Pen- tucket."
Scene-Rev. Nathaniel Ward's home in Ips- wich
EPISODE 5 "HAVERHILL, THE PURITAN VILLAGE"
Twelve men led by William White leave Ips- wich to break the land for the new settlement.
Within a few years, people from the other set- tlements fock to the new town up the Merrimack. Little by little, Haverhill in the Bay Colony grows.
Scene 1-Haverhill, 1660, DAWN Scene 2-The notice Scene 3-The dispute
1771810
EPISODE 6 "THE MASSACRE"
Misfortune kept plaguing the new settlement, Haverhill. Persistently Indians raided the town leaving a trail of sorrow and woe. No man, no woman, no child was safe-the Red Men were on the war path.
Scene-Haverhill village, early evening.
EPISODE 7 "HANNAH DUSTIN"
The name Hannah Dustin is renowned thru' the world. A frail blond woman who, captured by a band of savage red men in a raid on Haverhill, took a just revenge.
EPISODE 8 "THE PERSECUTION"
In a colony founded on the freedom of worship, a strange paradox prevails. In 1768, Hezekial Smith, a Baptist Minister is ordered out of Ha- verhill for practicing a religion not of the Puritan faith.
Scene-A small clearing at the edge of Ha- verhill
EPISODE 9 "THE SALTONSTALL BALL"
As the years roll by, the spirit of freedom marches forward. In Haverhill, the word "Tory" is an epithet that means fight. Every day, the tenseness grows as the mother country England disregards the pleas for representation. Despite the apparent tenseness, Colonel Richard Salton- stall, of whom his neighbors whisper "Tory," plans a party for some guests, with the famous fiddler, Hugh Tallent, playing.
Scene 1 -The Ball Scene 2 -- The storming of the house
EPISODE 10 "THE REVOLUTION"
The tide sweeps over the country. The Boston tea party is the prelude to the Revolution. The British land at Boston and immediately the Min- ute Men of Haverhill march to join their com- rades at Cambridge and Bunker Hill.
Scene 1-The warning to the peoples Scene 2-The thirteen stars
