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 1908 county history

The history of Middlesex County was published 18 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

1863. - In 1863 Davis & Longley built the most easterly of the two Billings' shops. In 1864 Clapp & Billings began to manufacture in this shop. They made a specialty of boys and youths' laced and buckle Congress shoes. In 1869 they bought the shops next to the Windsor Hotel, and continued in both shops until 1879, when Mr. J. B. Billings purchased his partner's interest, and has continued alone up to the present time.

Provenance

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