How the name was read

Each atlas was set in type by a different hand and scanned decades later, so the same establishment comes back spelled differently. Every reading below was produced by the recogniser from the sheets; none was corrected or invented. They are published so a search for any of them finds this page.

Named in the 1884 county history

The history of Hampden County was published 1 year before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The extensive milk business of Charles S. Davis, located at 61 Lincoln street, was established in 1879. During this long period of time he has been very successful and today stands unrivalled for reliability in the serving of milk to his patrons. The milk is of the highest grade, strictly pure, a fact made apparent when one recognizes Mr. Davis seldom loses a customer and handles 6(10 quarts daily. All milk and cream are obtained from farmers in Northampton and Amherst, Mr. Davis personally seeing that the dairies are clean and sanitary. Mr. Davis was no novice in this line when he came to Holvoke for he carried on the same business in Hartford. Mention should be made of the cream business which is very extensive and which he gives his personal attention, selling much to ice cream dealers.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Chicopee, Massachusetts, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
