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 1889 county history

The history of Worcester County was published 2 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

WiNFiELD H. Brock is well known as the stirring and successful moving and managing spirit in this large printing and publishing house. He was born Oct. 24, 1861, and is a descendant of one of the oldest families in town, and lives in the ancestral homestead on Pleasant Street. He graduated from the Athol High School in 1878, and after teaching school and pursuing further studies in other institutions, began newspaper work as local man for the "Springfield Republican." He bought an interest in "The Cottager" in 1885, and has since been at the head of the business department of that paper, and its associated undertakings. No small part of their growth and success has been due to his tact and enterprise.

Provenance

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