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 8 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Finely equipped for heavy and light teaming of all kinds, extensively operating and having an unrivalled reputation for reliability of services. The Sheldon Transfer, located at s:5 Main street, is classed among the leading firms of Western Massachusetts. This business was established forty-two years ago by the senior member of the firm, C. M. Sheldon, and has always had its office in this section. A few years ago, a son, Jesse E- Sheldon, became a member oi the firm. The Sheldon Transfer can practically move anything movable and makes a specialty of machinery, boilers and safe moving, and does all the work for many of the largest manufacturing plants of Holyoke. Eighty-five skilled workmen are employed and more careful and painstaking help would be hard to find.

Provenance

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