GENEOLOGY OF HAYWARD FAMILY From "Geneology and Biography of Southeastern Massachusetts".
THOMAS HAYWARD
Came to Plymouth Colony in the summer of 1635 in the ship "Hercules", the fourth vessel to bring immigrants to the new colony, the first being the Mayflower, which landed in December, 1620. In 1650 Thomas Hayward and two other settlers, namely James Keith and Deacon Sam Edson, pur- chased 196 square miles from Massasoit, including what is now West Bridgewater. For it they paid Massasoit 7 coats, 9 hatchets, 8 hoes, 20 knives, 4 moose skins, and 101/2 yards of cotton. Their settlement, adjacent to and just east of what is now the square and the monument at West Bridgewater, was the first settlement in the interior of the "Old Colony". The five boys came over in the Hercules with their father and mother, and the two girls were born here. Thomas died in 1681.

George O. Jenkins purchased this mill in Bridgewater, on the site of the first dam built on the Taunton River, sixty years ago, in 1896. Its two successor mills in Bridgewater remain today, strategically located near dependable supplies of raw materials, economical power, and skilled labor, thus facilitating production and sale of the best leather fibre products at the lowest possible prices. From an original production of a few tons of heeling board a day, the company has moved to a position of leadership in an intensely competitive industry through continued expansion of plant, improvements and diversification of product, and continued service and satisfaction to customers throughout the world.

GAS
SETS THE PACE FOR PROGRESS
In Modern Living
THERE WAS NO SUCH THING as central heating- much less automatic heating with Gas-when the first Gas plant in the Bridgewaters was built a century ago. The site was on West Elm Street in Brockton-North Bridgewater, then-where now is Eldon B. Keith Field. Later, the Gas plant was moved to the corner of School and Montello Streets; and later still to its present location on Grove Street.
Back in those days, Gas was made from coal; the process supplemented by other, more flexible methods as demand increased. It was a pretty satisfactory fuel, too-and as the years went by, the mains of the Gas Company reached out from Brockton to serve the Bridgewaters and a score of neighboring towns.
Gas brought a new and better way of living to thousands-and as the district grew, so, too, grew the demand for Gas.
Today, with marvelous modern Gas appliances bringing new beauty, new leisure into the home-
with Natural Gas, nature's most perfect fuel, here in abundant supply-with new thrift and econ- omy resulting from the lower rates for Natural Gas-Gas is gaining as never before!
Today, in this section first settled 300 years ago, Gas gives the superlative comfort of warm and comfortable homes with never a worry over fuel failure despite the severest winter weather. Gas makes abundant hot water available night and day-in ample supply for every household need-at the turn of a faucet. Gas cooks tastier- than-ever meals in automatic ranges that almost literally "think for themselves." Gas brings the joys of silent, trouble-free refrigeration; of clothes that come out of the Gas Dryer softer, fluffier, cleaner-smelling.
In the past two years alone, residential use of Gas in this territory has increased more than 25 per cent. Today, more than ever before, GAS is setting the pace for progress in modern living.
Brockton Taunton Gas Company, outgrowth of Gas Com- panies established in Brockton and Taunton a century ago, serves more than 50,000 customers in three cities and 31 towns, covering an area of nearly 900 square miles.

HOME NATIONAL BANK
The Friendly Bank SERVING BROCKTON AND THE BRIDGEWATERS
. Brockton was still North Bridgewater when THE HOME NATIONAL BANK was founded in 1874, the first commercial bank in the section. And in the 82 years since, this bank has kept pace with the growth and progress of the area . .. From a handful of customers in the early years, the number has grown to more than 15,000. Deposits were $155,726 when the first statement was issued; today they exceed $25,000,000.
Our services have expanded, too, as have the number of our offices. On January 2, 1949, the former Bridgewater Trust Company was merged to become the Bridgewater Office of THE HOME NATIONAL BANK; and five months later, by a similar merger, the Whitman National Bank became our Whitman Office ... In 1955, the main banking offices at 34 School Street, Brockton, were com- pletely remodelled and modernized. Our Montello Office began operations in April of this year; the East Bridgewater Office will open for business in late June or early July. Our Trust Department has assets of more than $12,000,000.
Naturally, we are proud of the sound and continuing growth of THE HOME NATIONAL BANK. Even more, we are proud of the people who make up its officers and staff. One and all, they are competent, capable, courteous-alert always to find better ways to meet your banking needs. They make, and kecp, THE HOME NATIONAL BANK what it has been since 1874-the friendly "home town" bank of the Brockton-Bridgewater area.

BETTER FASTENINGS FOR EVERY PURPOSE
America's Best-Known Name In Nails
WE JOIN in the celebration of Bridgewater's 300th Anniversary with the pleasure that comes of having had a part in the growth and progress of this historic section. Throughout our 40 years in business here we have enjoyed the happiest of relations with the people of Bridgewater, many of whom have found employment with us, and all of whom we count among our friends.
Nearly 25 years ago, with some 15 years of experience in the making of nails for special applications, we set ourselves to the task of developing a type of nail which would do its important job of fastening better than any nail ever could before. We found the answer in the threaded nail, which we have developed to such a point that our STRONGHOLD Annular Thread and SCREW-TITE Spiral Thread Nails are now used by the millions of pounds annually, and we have become the largest manufacturer of threaded nails.
STRONGHOLD and SCREW-TITE Nails have revolutionized construction methods. They are recognized the world over. They are backed by a continuing program of field research and scientific laboratory testing such as no other nail manufacturer has ever undertaken-and by the most extensive program of advertising and merchandising in the history of the nail business.
And as a result, The STRONGHOLD Line-made exclusively here in Bridgewater-has become America's Best-Known Name In Nails.
"STRONGHOLD," "THE STRONGHOLD LINE," "SCREW-TITE" are Trade Marks of Independent Nail & Packing Company, Registered U. S. Pat. Off. Always demand The STRONGHOLD Line by name-do not accept substitutes.
There is only one STRONGHOLD Line-the Original. Made only by INDEPENDENT NAIL & PACKING CO. Pioneer Developers and Largest Manufacturers of Threaded Nails BRIDGEWATER, MASSACHUSETTS, U.S.A.

V. & F. W. Filoon Co.
Not often is it granted to a business firm to enjoy one hundred years of continued success. When any concern arrives at such a record it is evidence not only of sustained and well-directed effort on the part of those directing the firm but also of the great merit and solid worth of the product which that firm is producing.
The V. & F. W. Filoon Company of Brockton, formerly North Bridgewater manufacturers of shoe counters, innersoles and Goodyear welting is now entering its 100th year of business. It has grown from a small beginning slowly and steadily as befits a firm grounded on fine old New England traditions of worth and honor and it occupies a niche alone in its line of endeavor.

As We Complete the Greatest Expansion Program in Our 78 Years, We Pause to Salute "Colonel Jim"
Born in Scotland in 1343, James Edgar emigrated as a boy. After learning the dry goods busi- ness in New Brunswick, Boston and Providence, he founded the Boston Store of North Bridgewater in 1878. "Colonel Jim" prospered and expanded; in 1907 opened the James Edgar Company. Throughout the years it has maintained its leadership as Brockton's largest department store . . . and now, with bigger and better expansion plans, EDGAR'S pledges its faith in Brockton's future.
ALDEN PRODUCTS
Milton Alden, the originator of the concern bearing his name, was born in West Bridgewater in 1890. In 1930 he started with a crew of 20 people to manufacture electronic components. Mr. Alden represents the ninth generation in a direct line from John Alden who purchased this territory from Massasoit at Sachem Rock, in East Bridgewater, in 1649.
In 1942 the firm moved to its present location, utilizing about 42,000 square feet of floor space, with about 250 employees, manu- facturing production aids and machinery for Alden Systems Co., and high speed facsimile communications systems for Alden Elec- tronic Impulse Recording Co.
KNAPP BROS. SHOE MFG. CORP.
BROCKTON, MASSACHUSETTS
The Company was formed in 1920 by E. D. and C. E. Knapp in the city of Boston as a small sales organization. In 1938 the firm purchased the old E. E. Taylor fac- tory and began manufacturing about 1200 pairs a day. The firm now makes over 15,000 pairs of shoes a day and conducts the largest direct selling shoe organization in America. Knapp Bros. today have the most complete factory fitting service in the world with over 400,000 pairs of shoes in stock, ranging in sizes from 2 to 18 and in widths from AAAA to EEEE. The firm has over 6000 salesmen and does a gross business of about $25,000,000.00 a year.

53 Spark Street (Montello Station) BROCKTON 68, MASS. Telephone 693
The incorporators of the Brockton Cut Sole Cor- poration are represented by people who have lived in the area for many years. The Corporation itself is the outgrowth of previous organizations, and there- fore based on the fact that the area is celebrating its 300th anniversary, the celebration of the Corporation itself of course is rather young compared to the 300 years of the area.
The Brockton Cut Sole Corporation was organized and incorporated on the 2nd of May, 1941. However, the officers and incorporators have been active in the sole leather business in this area for many years.
The President of the Corporation, Mr. Thomas L. Magistrate, has lived in Bridgewater for 46 years, having spent at least 25 years with the L. Q. White Shoe Company up to the time of their dissolution of business, and is still maintaining and active interest in this area.
The Vice-President and Treasurer of the Cor- poration, Mr. Abraham Horowitz, has been in the area and in the leather business since October, 1916, which represents forty years in the producing leather soles of some sort.
The Secretary of the Corporation, Mrs. Amy E. Elver, has been associated with leather operations
and shoe factory operations for many years. Mrs. Elver has worked for the L. Q. White Company for many years, and since 1937 has been associated with the two above mentioned gentlemen in the cut sole business.
The three organizers of the Brockton Cut Sole Corporation were originally the organizers of the Standard Cut Sole Co. of Bridgewater, which was originally put into operation in 1937, and later liquidated so that the officers could become active in the Brockton Cut Sole Corporation.
The Brockton Cut Sole Corporation has main- tained an enviable record of steady employment for their organization, and has proven themselves very successful in their operations for the past 15 years.
Due to changes in the shoe production and re- quirements, many other items have been added to the lines of insoles, midsoles, leather counters, etc., so that now the company also produces Polyethylene counters by injection molding, and also handles va- rious leatherboard materials that are imported from Europe.
At the present time the Corporation operates a factory in Brockton and also one in Nashua, New Hampshire.

BARBOUR WELTING COMPANY of Brockton, one of the city's largest and oldest industries, owes its existence to the fact that the Goodyear Welt process of making shoes requires a narrow strip of leather, known as welting, to join sole to upper. This strip must be of particular quality, as upon it depends to a large extent the very life of the shoe.
Barbour Welting Company makes this welting - fifty to a hundred miles of it in a normal working day, and it's used all over the world wherever shoes are made.
The present officials of the company are:
RICHARD H. BARBOUR, President CHARLES E. MASON, Treasurer FRANCIS L. SHEA, Vice President and Sales Manager
The business was founded by Mr. Barbour's grandfather, John Barbour, as the Brockton Rand Company, 1n 1892. The two sons of the founder, Perley E. and John A., managed the business until the death of the latter in 1925, from which period until 1954 Perley E. remained as head of the Com- pany. At that time there was a reorganization, officers being elected as above.
It is interesting to note that Richard H. Barbour, Jr. has recently been taken into the Company, making the fourth generation of the same family in the organization.
