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 1885 county history

The history of Portage County was published 13 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

You will then overlook Marguerite's astonishing statement that married men die more often than do single ones. Petle Coleman's flery blushes will pass for heat stirred up by the chase after laurels gained only by studious zeal such as is shown by Melvin Conn the elongated pit prop eutter whose long agricultural recitations have proved a lifesaver to many a sophomore.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Portage County, Ohio, 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.
