Original Format If the image is of an object, state the type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Iron-gall ink on watermarked paper, 37.5 cm x 30 cm Watermark Analysis The watermark that closely resembles the Arms within a circle, crowned on the top here: ARMS.132.1 https://memoryofpaper.eu/gravell/record.php?&action=GET&RECID=1562 This appears on a newsletter dated 1704 in London, England and seems to be a variation of the British royal coat of arms, most identifiable by the harp motif in the bottom left quadrant of the shield. The writing around the edge may be "Honi soit qui mal y pense", or "shame on him who thinks evil of it", which is the motto of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, founded in 1348 by King Edward III. The second watermark, with the initials "CB", is similar to the entry INIT.261.1, and in general fits into a tradition of serif initial watermarks, sometimes with a crown underneath, which seems to be common in entries from London in the early to mid 1700s. https://memoryofpaper.eu/gravell/record.php?&action=GET&RECID=1674 Both of these linked entries are found specifically within "Newdigate newsletters" housed at the Folger Shakespeare Library. It was not uncommon in the early 18th century for England to import paper from the Netherlands, where the quality of the paper was held in high regard. This led to Dutch papermakers using watermarks to appeal and adapt to the British market (through the use of imagery like arms and crowns). This supports a hypothesis that the paper was imported from England, with a possible additional piece of the puzzle that the paper could have been originally manufactured in the Netherlands and then brought to England.

Title A name given to the resource Survey Map - 1762 Description An account of the resource A survey map of the area long before Maynard was incorporated. The actual bounds of the map are still being researched, but initial analysis points to parts of Stow. For three reasons the document is likely preliminary work product that led to one or more final products. Firstly, the borders of the four parcels have been perforated by a needle to allow the parcel lines to be traced to another piece of paper. Secondly, the body of the document references four surveys done on various dates in 1761 and 1762. And thirdly, the presence of numerous mathematical calculations spaced randomly at odd angles suggest that the surveyor used whatever open space he found on the document to calculate distance (rods) and area (acres.) Context: Stow in 1762 In 1762, the southern portion of Stow’s western border adjoins Bolton, with Bolton having been formed in 1738 from Lancaster. And in 1762, the northern portion of Stow’s western border adjoins Harvard, with Harvard having been formed in 1732 from Stow, Lancaster and Groton. Despite having lost some land to Harvard in 1732, the Stow of 1762 is far larger than it is at the turn of the 20th century. Portions of Boxborough, Hudson and Maynard will be carved from Stow after 1762. Because Stow’s western border changes after 1762, it may be a challenge to nail down where the surveyed parcels are.

SCOTT HELPS BRING TOMORROW A GIANT STEP CLOSER The overture begins... and then the great, gold curtains of La Scala in Milan slowly open on Act I. Thousands of miles away, all the excitement and magic of this memorable musical event are being captured through the realism of FM multiplex stereo on your own Scott music system. Science fiction? Not really — thanks to the imagination and enterprise of Bell Laboratories' scientists. In a dramatic experiment, FM signals were sent to the Telstar Satellite orbiting in outer space. There they were successfully rebroadcast to the earth station for Communicating by Satellite at Andover, Maine. A sensitive Scott 310-D broadcast monitor tuner (rack mounted) was used by Bell Laboratories for this project. Scott congratulates the Bell System on their spectacular achievement and is proud t o be part of this historic experiment.

Title A name given to the resource H. H. Scott Model 314 Tuner Description An account of the resource This is a working (as of 2026) Model 314 - Wide-Band Monophonic FM Tuner manufactured by the H. H. Scott Company (on Powdermill Road) The term "wide-band" referred to the tuner's ability to handle the wider frequency fluctuations (bands) used by commercial FM radio (compared to, for example, police radios or walkie-talkies). This "frequency modulation" (FM) technique provided higher audio fidelity. Commercial FM radio at that time had introduced stereo signals and Scott sold stereo tuners (Model 330D) but the Model 314 traded that ability for lower cost (hence the "monophonic" part of its title). This is not a solid-state (transistorized) audio component, it contains seven vacuum tubes. The Model 314 replaced the 311 series, and made further cost reductions by eliminating the 12AU7 audio amplifier tube. The 6AU6 limiter tube was replaced with a 6U8, the triode section serving as the audio amplifier. The tuning meter used in the earlier Scott tuners was also eliminated, and replaced by a "magic eye" tube. The tuner also had a wider chassis that was used by most other Scott tuners. The Scott Model LT-10 monophonic tuner kit was essentially the Model 314 tuner in kit form, with a tuning meter in place of the tuning eye. In a 1961 price sheet Scott listed the Model 314 for $114.95 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource H. H.

Title A name given to the resource Monographs Description An account of the resource The Maynard Historical Society has a growing collection of monographs. Monographs, by nature, are focused and detailed research on a single topic (places, people, events, etc.) Many of these monographs, especially by guest authors outside of the Society's research team, contain personal anecdotes and details of life in town during their lifetime. In the years preceding the 1971 Centennial of Maynard the rather new Maynard Historical Society gathered a series of monographs on a wide variety of topics. 96 papers, written by primarily by Birger Koski and Ralph Sheridan, plus a number of "guest" authors, many of these were read at Historical Society meetings in the late 1960's and then became source material for the 1871-1971 History of Maynard book written for the Centennial of the Town.

All dates refer to issues of the Maynard News. The chorus of a popular song which came out in the early 1930's goes like this: "Once I built a railroad Made it run, made it run against time, Once I built a railroad, now it's done - Brother, can you spare a dime?" That song should have been made then our national anthem, for it spelled out in simple unmistakable terms the anguish of the times - from the promise of "a car in every garage and a chicken in every pot" to the well of despair of not knowing from where the next meal would come. Of course, we were in rather a fortunate position in Maynard, for all during the decades of its existence the residents had experienced this feast or famine economy due to the reliance on one industry, (and textile at that, notorious for its cycles and poor wages). This experience came in real handy when the big thing came along. Those lean years brought the Veterans Bonus Marchers to Anacostia Flats in Washington D.C. from which they were routed by MacArthur, the Hunger Marchers to State Capitals and Washington, and the destroying of pigs to raise the price of pork. It also brought back a feeling of community togetherness - (call it what you may) and a realization that we are all human beings, not brute animals. Let us see what the records tell us about Maynard and its people. The Wall Street crash of 1929 was actually the climax to a process of disintegration of the economy that started in 1926-1927. The result of that crash, however, triggered a sudden gigantic retrenchment that affected all parts of the American economic structure. The people that were on the lowest rung of the economic ladder felt the impact of this where it hurt the most - no money equals no food or shelter or clothes. The myth of "prosperity 'round the corner" could not feed mouths that were hungry or provide shelter from the elements. With only reassurances, but nothing else coming from Washington, by the end of 1930 most communities were in dire straits - and we were no exception. The Welfare Department did what it could but was far from meeting the needs of Maynard's wants. Under those conditions a Citizens' Committee on Relief called an organizational meeting at the High School auditorium, January 2, 1931, with James A Coughlan, Rev. M. A. Vance, Chairman, and Harold Morgan, Treasurer. The purpose of the committee was stated as promoting the general welfare of the town and to receive and disburse funds committed to it. An initial fund of $1,000 and commitments of $50 weekly started the committee on its work. Harry Templeton, agent of the mill, stated that about $400 of that amount had been donated by the salaried officials of American Woolen and a representative of the American Powder Mills reported $450 coming from its employees. A long list of general committee members is listed. The committee will publicize all contributions but not names of those receiving aid. (Jan. 9, 1931) This committee reported (May 13, 1932) that it is in distress with no funds - that a letter had been sent to all recipients that there would be no aid after May 9, 1932. $3,200 had been spent in food, clothing and other necessaries of life. Flour received though Maynard Chapter of Red Cross has been distributed. On July 8, 1932, the Committee reported for one year of operation; -- it had co-operated with the town welfare secretary - aided over 200 families, organized vegetable gardens throughout town; 19 on Fowlers Field, 40 behind Alumni Field (Salo Farm), 20 on Thompson Street, and other places, spent $600 for plowing, fertilizer and seed (goods given by stores). Committee members are Rev. Matthew Vance, James A. Coughlan, Harold Morgan, Harry Templeton, F. Allen Hall, K. Paul Helander, and B. J. Coughlin. The committee endorsed a field day put on by the Sunset Intertown Baseball League which drew audiences of 200 to 500 fans, about 80 players on the teams from which will be picked the cream to play West Concord. Businessmen contributed prizes for this affair. A parade to Crowe Park was also part of the day's festivities. (July 22, 1932). The Committee on August 26, 1932, reported that it would conduct a minstrel show with Jim Farrell in charge. He will run the show entirely with women. November 10, 1932, news note reports that the Committee will distribute 200 bags of onions, tons of squash, and bagged flour. These are stored at Coughlan's Garage on Summer Street. (Present site of Fine Arts Theater) The Committee reported on May 4, 1933, that it plans to have 6-8 acres of land for private gardens. Last year it had 250 gardens, spent about $600 and raised possibly $2,000 worth of produce. It is asking for 50 cent donations to defray expenses. The Citizens' Committee reported (May 11, 1933) that it has been working all winter getting donations from mill employees and overseers, from the various town departments, from the usual parties held by the Golf Club, from the Drama Group, The Maynard Players, and from the Little Theatre Group. The last news note we have of the Citizens' Committee is November 24, 1933, indicating that a new drive is starting. Last year it raised $2,190. We are not sure, but assume that the Committee carried out its individual garden plots in 1934 in conjunction with the community gardens that were instituted by the town in 1933 with aid from the state and federal levels. A new state law was passed in 1932 (May 20) allowing towns to accept advance payment of taxes from individuals and firms. This would assist communities in less borrowing - consequently less interest would be paid. A good barometer of the increasing hard times was indicated on July 15, 1932, by the local public Welfare Department when it reported that in 1931 welfare costs were about $35,000, but by mid-year of 1932 that sum was already expended. It asked the selectmen to call a special town meeting to vote additional funds for the remaining five and a half months of the year. January 5, 1933 - The School Department cuts wages by 10%. January 12, 1933 - Special Town Meeting, George Gutteridge, town Treasurer reports that until the annual town meeting he would be only able to pay town employees but no other bills - B. J. Coughlin said $50,000 outstanding in taxes a year ago, $65,000 now, plus water bills, sewer bills etc. amounting to another $50,000. March 16, 1933 - The annual town meeting voted to cut town rentals of private office space from $3,245 to $1,500 with no provision what happens to the department that cannot pay its rent. During the day of the meeting all tenants of mill houses received notices in the mail intimating that if the town meeting that evening voted in such a manner that taxes would go up and that rents in the company houses would also increase. This was the largest meeting up to that time in the town's history. May 18, 1933 - The School Committee voted to move Main Street School children to other schools, thereby reducing teachers by two and saving cost of heat and janitor. July 29, 1932 - The Veterans of Foreign Wars and Auxiliary held a parade and a road race to Stow, with fireworks at night, to help raise funds for needy families. August 26, 1932 - The local Red Cross, Mrs. William Crotty, Chairman, reports that it will receive cotton cloth of all kinds and will set up sewing units. March 23, 1933 - Both banks in town now open after President Roosevelt's two-week bank moratorium to prevent a run on the banking institutions of the country. March 30, 1933 - The Chamber of Commerce elected a committee of nine to find if work can be found for those on relief and then go to selectmen with the news. April 20, 1933 - It is reported that the Hunger Marchers are to pass through town going to Boston. They have asked the selectmen for food and shelter. Last year the Communists at Powder Mill Hall helped them. The Selectmen issue a parade permit to Crowe Park but no food and shelter. (April 27, 1932) The Hunger Marchers Parade (May 4, 1933) Saturday evening, then stop at the Russian Educational Society Hall where they were guests of the Unemployed Council of Maynard. They were given food and shelter by the Council and resumed their march to Boston Sunday morning. The purpose behind these marches nationally was to force the government to set up social security and they succeeded. The summer of 1933 (May 8) saw the start of a community garden effort for welfare men. It was sponsored by the Welfare Department and the Citizens' Committee. The latter committee still remained in charge of the individual gardens that we mentioned previously. Don Lent was in charge of the community garden and the Citizens' Committee plots at Alumni Field (75), Fowler's Field (25), Pond Lot (16) plus backyard plots. The community gardens were situated on Powder Mill Road (opposite the present location of Lund Products) and a canning factory was started in the building there which was owned by the Powder Mill. (August 10, 1933) The cooking tanks and pipes were made and donated by the American Woolen and the land and building and electricity donated by the Powder Mills. The town steam roller was backed up to the building and provided steam for cooking. 23,000 cans were donated by the state. 800 cans of string beans was the first effort, with beans, carrots, chard, and other items distributed fresh to town welfare recipients. As of September 21, 1933, the canning was as follows: 3,849 cans beans, 2,391 cans tomatoes, 253 beets, with this to be stored at the West Concord Cold Storage for distribution during the winter. The field near Alumni Field (Salo Farm) distributed 1,272 pounds beans, 50 bu. chard, 375 bundles turnips, 900 bu. Beets, 1,746 pounds cabbage, 2,410 pounds summer squash, 530 bunches carrots and 100 dozen cukes. The Emergency Relief Act (E.R.A.) passed by Congress allowed the town to start work project with the unemployed. (May 18, 1934) That week 83 men and 23 women received $1,332.60. Projects approved by the stated included Glenwood Cemetery extension, Florida Road drain, Assessor's map, cleaning the banks of the Assabet, sewing and knitting classes, extension of work on Alumni Field, grading track and tennis courts, and erecting bleachers. Don Lent was the local E.R. A. administrator. The work allowance was on a budget plan that allowed $2.00 a week (not a day) for food for those over 16 and $1.50 for those under -- $1.50 for fuel and light -- $5.00 for rent, $.75 for clothing. A June 1, 1934 announcement tells us that two new projects have been approved by E.R.A. the erection of a 20x24 field stone comfort station at Memorial Park with $3,000 coming from E.R.A. funds and the town contributing $700. The other project was the Community Gardens on Powder Mill Road. It is announced August 17, 1934 by Don Lent that canning is started at Middlesex House. (Our old town house). An October 5, 1934 news release by Lent tells that $9,000 will be spent this month, an increase of $500 over recent months because of heavier unemployment. An 85' × 200' hockey rink at Alumni Field as a project in 1935. (January 11) The American Legion and Auxiliary (January 11, 1935) will hold a whist social to benefit those in need. March 1, 1935 - press release tells us that a carload of cabbage from the state will be made into sauerkraut and distributed by E. R. A. - also received 168 cases of canned roast beef and lots of potatoes from the federal supply center. On June 23, 1938, we discover that the Relief and Soldier's Relief Funds are exhausted and 75 new names added to W. P. A. (Works Projects Administration) - 157 there now, 24 new girls added to N. Y. A. sewing project, (National Youth Administration) - and 12 young men to N.Y.A. Park and recreation projects. $5,000 unemployment checks a week distributed with 200 families on relief. On August 4, 1938, W.P.A. has 359 men and 14 women employees. A W.P.A. sewing project has an Open House (May 17, 1940). So, the Great Depression continued for 12 years until we were able to get into a war in 1941 - and prosperity of sorts was achieved. It did prove however, that we as a community did not sit passively - we tried long before the federal government was forced by the rising storm of protest to act.

Introduction This book was created to honor the veterans buried at St. Bridget's Cemetery in Maynard, Massachusetts, and to preserve their names, service, and resting places as a lasting record of gratitude and remembrance. Within these pages are the names, birth and death dates, branches of service, and burial locations of those who served our country with courage, sacrifice, and dedication. Each entry represents not only a life lived, but a commitment to service that deserves enduring recognition and thanks. The information contained in this book was carefully gathered by Kim Lalli and Brenda Sullivan, who walked the cemetery tirelessly, recording each marker with care and respect. This project required many hours of dedication and attention to detail, and every effort was made to document the information as accurately and completely as possible. Members of the Maynard Emblem Club #205 also contributed to this effort in a variety of ways. Sandra Hughey provided invaluable assistance by helping to fill in missing details through her expertise in military ancestry, along with support from Maynard Veterans Service Officer Peter Harvell. While this work has been completed to the best of their ability, it is possible that a name or detail may have been unintentionally missed. For this, the authors offer their sincere apologies and ask for understanding. knowing that the intent of this book is rooted in honor, remembrance, and deep respect for all who served. May this book serve as a lasting tribute to the veterans of St. Bridget's Cemetery and as a reminder that their service will never be forgotten.

A Maynard Mystery  The Curious Story of The Dairy Cottage  and the Man Who Created It In the Spring of 1938 a flurry of newspaper articles welcomed a new business to Maynard: The Dairy Cottage, located at 50 Acton Street. It advertised itself as a “New and Different Type of Eating Place” with the latest in restaurant equipment and high-quality suppliers. Less than four months later it essentially vanished from the public eye… Ernest Smith Cooper was born on July 19, 1887 in Winchester, Connecticut. By 1916 he was married to Lottie Smith, a traveling salesman for the Moore Company of Worcester, and living in Brighton, MA. In the 1920 census he was listed as a retail druggist. Around 1923 he moved to Acton and was employed as a druggist. Shortly after that (or perhaps at the same time) he opened his own drug store, The Acton Drug Company, in West Acton. A 1925 ad for the drugstore foreshadowed his entrepreneurial spirit as it also sold Kodak cameras and camera film, a variety of candies, and … a popcorn machine. Around the same time Ernest latched on to the latest technology sweeping the country (and world for that matter): radio. Commercial radio stations started in 1920 and this was quickly followed by consumer radio sets being mass produced by companies such as Atwater-Kent, RCA, and Zenith. Ernest recognized an opportunity and started selling radios in his drugstore. By 1928 the drugstore part of the Acton Drug Company was barely a footnote (not unlike the floorspace distribution of your local CVS). Advertisements highlighted selling and servicing Atwater-Kent radios, Whitman and Apollo Candies, Mansion House Fro-Joy Ice Cream, a soda fountain, and Kodak cameras and supplies. He even gave a radio out as a prize at a 1928 West Acton fair. In April 1929 the transition was complete: a full page ad in the Concord Enterprise announced a new Acton Drug Company store that filled drug prescriptions, had a full-fledged “radio department”, a soda fountain for refreshments, ice cream, candy, and a variety of sundries. In 1930 Ernest was attending technical sessions on new Bosch home and automobile radios. Somewhere in the 1930-1932 timeframe Ernest opened the “Cooper Radio-Electric Company” which focused on, as you might guess, radio sales and service (yes, radios needed service back then - those vacuum tube devices were finicky), and various electric home appliances. Where the company was started is still unknown, but in May of 1933 the store opened in Maynard at 20 Nason Street with over 700 people attending the grand opening and several receiving door prizes such as electric irons, clocks, and toasters. In 1934 the store was operating from 72 Main Street. In October 1935 the fast-growing company announced it was moving back to Nason Street to a new store on 90 Nason Street, previously occupied by the Byron Lumber Company. The new Cooper Radio-Electric company featured a “radio salon” where it displayed the latest 1936 radio models. A small footnote in this announcement, but key to our story (yes, we’re getting there…) is that this new location would also house a new company “Cooper Coolers, Inc.” under the Cooper Companies umbrella. Cooper Coolers was riding the wave of safe and affordable home and commercial refrigerators as adoption went from 10% of households to over 50% - despite the impacts of the Great Depression. The Cooper Radio Electric Company showrooms featured Frigidaire refrigerators and Delco heating and air conditioning systems. Advertisements by the company in 1936 focused less on radios and more on these heating and cooling systems/appliances. By 1937 the “Cooper Coolers, Inc.” was directly advertising in the newspapers. On April 27, 1938 the following advertisement appeared in the Maynard Enterprise: OPENING SOON  50 ACTON ST. MAYNARD  The Dairy Cottage A New and Different Type of Eating Place.  HOME MADE ICE CREAM - FRIED CLAMS - SODA FOUNTAIN & SANDWICH GRILL  Under management of E. S. Cooper & Oiva O. Helenius A few days later (Maynard Enterprise, Page 3, May 4th, 1938) Dairy Cottage Opens Saturday at 50 Acton Street Maynard - "Never Sell America Short" seems to be the courageous policy of the Dairy Cottage and Luncheonette proprietors who will open their new modernistic cottage at 50 Acton Street next Saturday. The new structure of Colonial modernistic type was designed and built by Cooper Coolers, Ernest Cooper, proprietor, This firm is well known with a wide experience in commercial refrigeration and equipping of roadside stands. The interior is finished in neutral buff and red tile with chromium trim. The back bar is of stainless steel. with complete set of electric grills and Silex coffee makers. It Is an artistic cosy place to stop for some thing good to eat or for some home-made ice cream. Everything is in the latest up-to-the-minute, and of equal importance in that everything served is of the best quality. Ernest Cooper and Oiva Helenius are proprietors. Mr. Cooper was formerly in the soda and luncheonette business in Boston and more recently was proprietor of the Acton Drug Company which was favorably known for the excellence of its soda fountain service. A modern up to date soda fountain installed In the Dairy Cottage will serve delicous sodas and college ices. The ice cream all home made in the Dairy Cottage will be made of pure, heavy, teeted cream, pasteurIzed and homogenized. It will be made under a special formula of the United Farmers Cooperative Creamery Association, with all the popular favors. Fresh fruits in season will be used to flavor the Dairy Cottage ice cream and only the purest of extracts will be used. It will be made under sanitary conditions in a modern freezing room. Oiva Helenius was formerly in the retail food business in Maynard and Stow, and is an expert on the selection of meats and provisions. Among the specials to be served at the food counter are a special Hamburg steak of unusual quality from selected meat and served on toasted rolls. Fresh Fried Ipswich Clams, delivered dally, is another special. The clams will be cooked in a modern electric fry kettle. Marvelous taste frankfurters and sandwiches of all varieties, plain or toasted, are on the menu. The milk and cream for the Dairy Cottage will be furnished by The Maplecrest Dairy Farm, the clams fresh daily from Ipswich, frankfurts and cooked meat from the Essem Packing Co, of Lawrence, and fresh meats, fruits and vegetables from the United Co-operative Society of Maynard. The Dairy Cottage will throw its doors open for business and welcome visitors for inspection Saturday, May 7. Three pages later, a full page advertisement welcomed the Dairy Cottage, highlighting all of the businesses that were part of its creation and ongoing operation: E. Mariano & Son - Cement Work and Cellar P. J. Schair - Electric Wiring and Fixtures United Co-Operative Society - Wishing You Success Essem Marvel Taste Frankfurts Maynard & Acton Oil Co. - Fuel Oil for Heating and Hot Water Cooper Coolers, Inc - Designed-Built-Equipped Complete Maynard Lumber & Supply - Lumber and Building Material Maplecrest Cream Top Dairy - Pasteurized Milk and Cream United Farmers Co-Operative Creamery Association - Ice Cream Mix Lenox, Inc. - Complete Supplies for Roadside Stands Delano-Potter Co. - Bunker Hill Coffee & Peaco Tea The following week (Maynard Enterprise, Page 1, May 11th, 1938) Dairy Cottage Is Now Open Maynard. - The Dairy Cottage, 50 Acton Street, Ernest Cooper and Oiva Helenius, proprietors, said they were very pleasantly surprised at the volume of business done the week end. The staff Includes Mary Higgins, Mildred Costello and Richard Howe. A few weeks later another advertisement (The Maynard News, Page 5, June 9th, 1938) Have You Visited the DAIRY COTTAGE IT'S NEW - IT'S DIFFERENT FOR GOOD FOOD and REFRESHMENT A Place Unusual FRIED CLAMS - FOUNTAIN SERVICE 50 Acton Street Maynard The Dairy Cottage even had a sponsor block in the 1938 Maynard High School yearbook, The Screech Owl: After the Reception, Shows or Anytime Drop in at the Dairy Cottage for Tasty Home-Made ICE CREAM - FRIED CLAMS or LUNCHES ACTON STREET MAYNARD And that, dear reader, is the full extent of our (current) known history of The Dairy Cottage! The next notice we have on the building was in the Maynard Enterprise, Page 2, April 3rd, 1958: Mr. and Mrs, Stanley B. Chapman and family, 50 Acton street. visited their daughter, the former Betty Chapman, Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Kohler and Patricia over the weekend in Canton, Ohio. And property records show that the current owners (July 2026) purchased the house from the Chapman estate in 1998. What of of Ernest Cooper and the Cooper Radio Electric Companies? Not much is currently known. Starting in 1936 Cooper Coolers advertisements were small and mentioned “Milk Coolers”. The 1940 census shows Ernest living in Franklin, New Hampshire. At some point Ernest and Lottie retired to Clearwater, Florida. Ernest passed away in 1961 at the age of 74. Looking at the advertisements for The Dairy Cottage and the accompanying newspaper stories it is clear that it was created as a showcase for Cooper Coolers. In addition to the Dairy Cottage they supplied refrigeration to the United Co-Operative Society and likely other businesses in Central Massachusetts. Plus the Dairy Cottage probably appealed to Ernest’s entrepreneurial roots starting a successful soda fountain in the Acton Drug Company two decades earlier. Who knows? Anyone who has started a restaurant business will tell you that they live on a knife’s edge for several years and few make it to long-term success. Maybe it was a vanity project or a last gasp attempt to drum up business, but the whole of the Cooper Companies business seemed to evaporate at the same time. There may be more to this story yet to tell.

This January of 1968 has been so severe in its extreme cold and snow that many of us will be relating stories about it many years hence. It seems that every generation or so we get what is called an "old time winter" - 1948 was one, 1920 another. Modern equipment today clears roads in generally short order, though frequent complaints are made to the authorities that is should be practically instant. Let us hark back to 1920 - and count our blessings. The following will be verbatim from the Maynard News. February 6, 1920 - 'Maynard Feels Blizzard' - Supt. Driscoll commended for keeping plows in action. Maynard is emerging from the worst blizzard experienced in this section for many years. Traffic was delayed and people were put to great inconvenience, but as there were no fires or casualties reported, nothing but good-natured badinage is heard. The storm commenced its work early Thursday morning and kept on the job throughout the day. In the evening the snow changed to sleet, which cut the faces of those forced to go out of doors. Town employees and railroad men suffered most, but all were more or less affected by its severity. John J. Driscoll, Supt. of Streets, informed the News that it was the worst storm he has experienced since he came to Maynard to reside. Roy Worden, Supt. of the Concord, Maynard and Hudson Street Railway, is in accord with Mr. Driscoll and says it was the worst blizzard that the oldest man in his employ has any recollection of. Mr. Driscoll had four plows working all day and some of these made three trips around the town. At noon there was a change of horses and at night these horses could go no further. In addition, he had men at work shoveling. These were augmented today and if possible, more will be set to work again tomorrow. This Friday morning five plows were at work at 4:30, in order to make the streets passable for the operatives in the mill and others forced to leave their homes early. Supt. Worden ordered cars and plows out early. Supt. Worden ordered cars and plows out early Thursday morning. Two of the cars reached Hudson. One of these was left there and the other became stalled with the plow in Gleasondale. One of the cars on the Concord end of the line reached as far as Paper Mill Corner on its return trip, but the other became enmeshed in huge drifts at Concord Junction. It took just six hours to make a run from the Sudbury Street turnout to the car barn, according to Mr. Worden. He expects to get into Hudson sometime this afternoon and with any degree of luck will also reach Concord. The steam railroad had its difficulties also. Trains left on time in the morning, but were hours late at night. The mail arriving at 9 AM was the only one which was delivered. Some of the morning mail was on cars stalled. During Thursday afternoon the wind rose to a gale and huge drifts precluded any chance of railroad men fighting their way through. Automobiles were placed in the discard. Doctors made their rounds on foot and credit is due them for their untiring efforts in visiting the sick. People residing in the outskirts and surrounding towns were kept from work in most cases. At noon Thursday, restaurants and lunch carts did a thriving business, as people who had any distance to walk and who came from work patronized these places. Many had foresight enough to carry lunches with them and many more stayed in the mill at noon, depending on relatives or friends to return at one with lunches for them. Grocery and meat men also came in for a hard day. In some cases orders were taken in the forenoon which were not delivered. Many wondered why the no-school signal was not blown in the morning. Supt. of Schools Millington, says that he was undecided, as Friday is visiting day and he did not wish to lose two days' time. However, at noon, it became apparent that children could not return, so the signal was blown. The storm had its amusing features as well. One in particular was the frequency in which some pedestrians passed on snowshoes or skis. Earlier in the week these articles were used for pleasure, but the fact was emphatically borne out that they were indispensable for commercial purposes as well. Late Thursday afternoon the Powder Mill pung put in its appearance drawn by a team of six horses, enabling the help to arrive home without delay or inconvenience. During the night the sleet formed a crust on the snow and as a result it did not drift as bad as anticipated, so that as the old weather man said; 'it might have been worse. 'February 6, 1920 - Hudson - Whittier's "Snowbound' may be a beautiful thing to read when one is seated by an open fireplace, listening to the crackling logs, but it is a different proposition to be obliged to brave such a storm as raged yesterday, the worst since the memorable blizzard of 1898, the year the steamer Portland went down. There was a decided icy feeling in the air Wednesday afternoon and evening, but nobody dreamed that the world would awaken yesterday morning to find itself facing a storm of unusual proportions and severity. Electric cars were quickly put out of commission. The Clinton Line did not land a car in Wood Square after its last trip Wednesday night and is still among the missing. The Maynard Line got to Hudson at 8 AM but has not been seen since. The Marlboro Line got two cars through in the early morning, after which service was completely at a standstill until late in the evening, when service was resumed with the Armory as the terminus. Schools were closed yesterday and the no school signal sounded again this morning. Nearly all the stores which keep open Thursday evenings closed at six o'clock. Trains were from four to five hours late, with mails delayed correspondingly. The midnight train did not reach Hudson until four o'clock this morning. Marlboro people waited at the Fitchburg Station from the time they left work until nearly eleven o'clock to get a train home. Many returned to factories in which they work and remained there overnight. Lodge rooms were also resorted to as bedrooms by snowbound ones. One elderly man who started to walk to Marlboro was given a resting place at the Town House, a comfortable bed being made up for him in the court room. The Boston morning papers did not arrive until late in the afternoon, being brought from Marlboro on a snow plow, and the early afternoon papers reached Fairbanks at 5:20. No Worcester papers reached Hudson. At midnight a snow plow left the iron on the Felton Street crossing of the Boston & Maine, and three freight trains were held up by it until four o'clock, it being necessary to send out a wrecking train to straighten out affairs. People obliged to be out this morning, going to work or otherwise, were forced to wade through deep drifts, and fortunate were those that could wait until somebody else had broken a path for them. A remedy for the complete extermination of the groundhog is in order. February 13, 1920 - Because of limited transportation facilities, as a result of the snow storm of last week, Maynard people have experienced considerable hardship. There has been no schedule on the electric car lines, and Boston Freight has not reached town in two weeks. Besides being inconvenienced in travel, there has been a shortage of living commodities to add to the general discomfort. Residents have shown a commendable spirit, and this will be rewarded by better things next week. This Friday there is a schedule maintained from the center of the town to Gleasondale. It is expected that snow and ice will be removed from the tracks so that cars can run as far as the Fitchburg Depot in Hudson this evening. Supt. Worden will turn his attention to the Acton Line Saturday, and hopes to have a clear track for railroad connection by Monday. On the Concord end of the line the street department of that town are engaged in clearing tracks. The workmen have been contending against ice ranging from three inches to twelve inches. Every foot of the ground conquered so far has been by the use of the pick axe. An illustration of this phase of the work may be gleaned from the fact that it took seven hours to make a clear track from opposite the residence of William Jones, Great Road, to the car barn Wednesday evening. Local businessmen have been hit hard. One grocer says that he can trace a loss of S75 on his Saturday business from South and West Acton. Another one says that these towns, plus Concord Junction doubles his loss. Samuel Lerer suggests that the merchants pool their interests until the tracks are cleared and engage drivers for pungs... allow them to collect regular fares between the towns mentioned and reimburse the drivers to the extent of a fair profit over what is collected in fares. The Express Company has been doing double duty since the failure of the freight and have been doing it exceedingly well. There is practically no sugar in town today. In some cases stores are out of butter, egg and cheese, and unless a Boston Freight hoves in sight this Friday afternoon, Maynard will have to subsist on canned goods for the time being. Things looked serious at the mill early in the week. There was an apparent shortage of acids and dyes. About 250 carboys are used weekly and Monday there were only fifty on hand. The company got in touch with the Government and as a result there was a special engine brought into requisition and a carload of the necessary product brought to Maynard. Dyes came by express. Unless traffic is opened, a shutdown is imminent. Carloads of coal were taken from the mill early in the week by the Government and sent to the Watertown Arsenal. Automobiles put in an appearance Thursday, the first since the storm last Thursday. The truck of the United Cooperative Association was the first and this was a signal for others, and they were run with more or less difficulty. But there are better things to come in sight and in the meantime, everybody "Cheer Up". February 20, 1920 - Maynard was treated to the novel sight of hundreds of volunteer workmen Saturday and Sunday, to open the car tracks between Maynard and South Acton. Practically every resident of Maynard is inconvenienced by the lack of transportation between the two towns. In order to offset this, Roy Worden, Supt. of the C. M. & H. Street Railway Company, petitioned businessmen to aid in opening the line. A meeting was called Friday afternoon, and the response was gratifying indeed. The movement was not an individual one by any means. All are concerned. The town has suffered through the storm to the extent of lack of transportation, mails, morning and evening papers, and many other necessities. It was a call for civic duty and while there were not more than fifty or sixty at work at one time, fully 500 people participated in the movement. Triumphantly swinging his pickaxe Saturday morning, B. J. Coghlin started the ball a rolling. He was quickly joined by other businessmen, laborers, and in fact during the two days, men and boys from every walk of life. It was not for the railroad, the business man, but for all concerned and this was evident from the cosmopolitan number who enthused over the work. As in many other places, the railroad could have suspended and waited for the warm sun and rain to do the work at no expense. The businessmen could have hired pungs for transportation, which was at first conceived. However, a splendid cooperative spirit was shown when Joshua Naylor called the meeting which results in opening the road as far as Parmenter's crossing. This was done through many discouraging conditions. Solid ice had to be cut through and water in many places was as high as the ankles of the workers. February 20, 1920 - The first Boston freight in more than two weeks arrived in Maynard Saturday afternoon. It was hailed like the rescue ship of old, as it brought delayed and necessary supplies. March 5, 1920 - Employees of American Woolen dug out congested freight in South and West Acton, Saturday and Sunday. In addition, they shoveled the sidings clear in Maynard and Gleasondale; paid time and a half for Saturday and Sunday work. March 12, 1920 - Responding to an appeal from the Boston & Maine Railroad to repeat the work of last week made necessary by the storm Saturday, more than 50 men responded to clear the sidings and switches in Maynard, Marlboro, South and West Acton, and Gleasondale. March 12, 1920 - While very little damage was done by the storm last Friday night and Saturday, great inconvenience was experienced. It slowed things to a standstill temporarily. Trains were stalled and people waited hours. Lights went out in one section of town. The memorable blizzard of 1888 was nothing to Saturday's storm. There was greater snowfall then, but the high wind which accompanied Saturday's storm with a near zero temperature beat all records. Even steam service was paralyzed. Nobody ventured abroad after the noon hour. A number of horses had to be dug out of drifts and it was a common sight to see some person step on what seemed a safe place, only to go through to the knees. Many cellars are now flooded because of the thaw Monday. March 19, 1920 - Ice sweeps away the Maynard Coal Co. Bridge over the Assabet. Thousands of tons of ice along the river from the rear of the Main Street School to Florida Court were loosened by the rainstorm Wednesday. March 26, 1920 - Cars on C. M. & H. Line had reached Concord Junction; hope shortly to be opened to Concord and West Acton. Spring finally came and all was well again in the little Town of Maynard along the Assabet.

Scott, Inc.- A Brief History of Its Maynard Years by Terry Jones - May 2026 The company is founded in 1947 in Cambridge, MA. by Hermon Hosmer Scott, born 1909, with a BA from MIT and a doctorate from the Lowell Institute. He will be awarded over one hundred patents, primarily in the field of electronics.  In 1957, Scott moves his company into a new facility at 111 Powder Mill Road, Maynard, as noted in History of Maynard, 1871-1971, published 1971 by the Maynard Historical Committee. “In 1957, the firm … became the first major industry in many years to build its own plant in Maynard. The ultra-modern quarters are situated on a fifteen acre plot of land on Powder Mill Road.” Victor H. Pomper, an MIT grad who joins the company in 1950, is named President sometime in the 1960’s. The company is a leader in high fidelity sound, and it continually innovates to meet the market. It develops and sells tuners (which are AM and FM radio receivers), amplifiers and speakers and packages them with turntables, speakers and if desired with wood cabinetry designed by Scott. Scott also manufactures tape decks and sound level meters for industrial use. It offers compact stereos with stand-alone speakers. Some products are sold in kits for buyer assembly. The Wikipedia entry for the company notes the company’s many innovations.  The 1957 move to Maynard is made because the company is growing, and it continues to grow. In 1960 the company takes additional space in the Maynard Industrial Park, an expansion that coincides with a glowing article in the May 1960 edition of the Atlantic, written by John Conly. Conly actually tours the Maynard facility on Powder Hill Road for his article. And after extolling Scott the man and Scott products, Conly describes what he sees. “My guide was Victor Pomper … All the pleasant ladies with their soldering irons called him Vic, and he knew all their first names too. What this means … is that living room listeners do not get H. H. Scott FM tuners or preamplifiers with fractured cold-solder joints. The things work and keep working because they were made with devotion and … pride.” It seems very likely that Conly is right as to devotion and pride, and a quality workforce and constant product innovation pay off for H. H. Scott. In 1967 the company builds an addition on the Powder Mill Road plant that substantially increases the size of the company’s facility. [From History of Maynard 1871-1971 at page 52.] The 1967 addition comes around the time of the company’s peak sales and presumably its peak profits. In 1968, Scott’s sales top $15 million, a figure reported in a 1972 Maynard Beacon article. $15 million dollars in 1968 is roughly equivalent to $140 million in 2026.  While the year 1968 is big for H. H. Scott, it is also big for the musicians whose new records are being played on Scott turntables. The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour goes to number 1.  Richard Harris releases Macarthur’s Park. Simon and Garfunkel release Mrs. Robinson. Otis Redding gives the country The Dock of the Bay. The Box Tops, The Fifth Dimension, Sly and the Family Stone, The Temptations, James Brown, the Rolling Stones, The Supremes, Cream, The Bee-Gees, Steppenwolf, the Animals, Credence Clearwater Revival, Dione Warwick, Aretha Franklin, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, and many more all have big hits. In theaters, Space Odyssey, Bullitt, Rosemary’s Baby and Planet of the Apes hit the big screen. Hair and The Great White Hope dazzle on Broadway for very different reasons. On television, folks love Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Mayberry RFD and Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In. But outside of entertainment, in 1968 America faces a series of tragedies and controversies. The U. S. takes almost 3,000 casualties at the Battle of Khe Sanh. Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy are assassinated. The Warsaw Pact invades Czechoslovakia to crush the Prague Spring, and the U. S. stands by and watches. The U. S. Supreme Court rules that burning a draft card is not free speech. The U. S. Olympic Committee sanctions Tommie Smith and Juan Carlos for making a black power salute at the Mexico Olympics. And tragedy or not - Nixon defeats Humphrey on an alleged plan to end the war in Vietnam.  If the year 1968 was a mixed blessing for the country, it was the same for H. H. Scott. While for over twenty years the company has been an innovative leader in offering high fidelity sound, and while 1968 sees peak sales, the company now faces brutal competitive pressures. A Maynard Beacon article from the spring of 1968 is headlined “H. H. Scott Denies Rumors It Will Close.” In the article, Victor Pomper, Scott’s President, acknowledges a business slowdown and attributes it to “an inflationary recession courtesy of the U. S. Government….”  The Beacon article notes that Scott’s headcount is down from about seven hundred to about five hundred. However, Pomper denies rumors that Scott will close. “We are in a little slump as who isn’t, but we are only running about seven percent behind, and we hope to make that up during the summer months.”  Pomper attributes Scott’s troubles to Japanese competition, adding that Scott is suing several Japanese firms for patent infringement. Pomper is correct about Japanese competition, and it will soon get much worse. While the fully developed ‘Japan Inc’ is still a decade or more away, Pomper and many of H. H. Scott’s employees no doubt see, and must recoil at, the Time magazine cover of May 10, 1971, titled: “How to Cope With Japan’s Business Invasion.” The cover depicts a Sony TV held by a gloved hand, and above the hand is a sleeve decorated like an American flag.  Yes, American consumers are buying Japanese electronics. And Sony makes more than televisions. It makes high fidelity recording and radio sets and related components. Sony is in direct competition with Scott, but so are the Japanese companies Panasonic, Pioneer, Sanyo, Toshiba and Sansui. But this is not news to Pomper and his employees. Since the early 1960’s they will have seen articles warning of Japan’s ability to innovate, manufacture with precision and compete on price. As Pomper told the Beacon in 1968, he and the company need help against Japan. That help does not arrive. A late 1972 article in the Beacon again addresses H. H. Scott’s financial condition, and now that condition is truly dire. Scott has undertaken a mass layoff and seeks bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11. While the article does not say, it appears that Scott enters bankruptcy when key suppliers refuse to deliver components and sue for money owed.   While the company’s headcount is roughly 700 only a few years earlier, by the time of the October 1972 mass layoff headcount is down to about 410. After the layoff, headcount is twelve. Those dozen are deemed essential to reorganize the company and emerge from bankruptcy.  Victor Pomper remains President. The article quotes him: “We’ve not gone down the tubes….”   He is correct. If the company can get adequate financing, it will restart operations rather than see its assets liquidated. Pomper discusses how he hopes to convince new lenders to finance a reorganization. The company will acquire “computerized automation equipment to slash direct labor costs by up to seventy percent….” That is both a dramatic potential savings, and a dramatic statement to the laid off personnel. If the company can reorganize, roughly seventy percent of the laid off employees who assemble, test, package and ship products will not be re-offered their jobs. And thanks to that Beacon article, we have real insight into who those people are. The Beacon notes that roughly 40 clerical and supervisory personnel are laid off, roughly half being women, and that 355 layoffs are in assembly, testing and packaging of whom 250 are women, with approximately 100 of them being military wives from Fort Devens.  In the fall of 1972, America troop levels in Vietnam have fallen from a high of 540,000 in 1968 to 25,000. Some of those Fort Deven wives will have worked for Scott for some time. H. H. Scott may have offered a job that eased the absence of a husband at war, or even the loss or wounding of a husband. These women will have stories to tell of what H. H. Scott meant to them. The Beacon article then adds: “President Pomper told the Beacon last month that the reason for the corporation’s grave financial crisis was the failure of the Federal government to come through with funds to alleviate import injury …  H. H. Scott buying all its parts, equipment etc ... and doing all assembly, design etc … in the United States has been particularly hard hit by Japanese imports ... The Japanese industry which has come to the fore in the past three years is both government financed and protected….”  Pomper never does manage the reorganization of H. H. Scott, and at some point, I believe early in 1973, the company is acquired out of bankruptcy by SYMA of Belgium, Scott’s European distributor.  Herman Scott dies in 1975. At the time of his death he lives in Lincoln, MA. That same year the company he founded, built and then lost moves from Maynard to Woburn. In 1985, H. H. Scott is purchased by Emerson Electric. Today, Emerson sells hands-free car speakerphones under the H. H. Scott brand. I do not believe it offers stereo equipment under that brand. The old H. H. Scott facility on Powder Mill Road still exists. It is a storage facility, the lowest tech usage imaginable for a place of once spectacular technical innovation. The H. H. Scott company operates from Maynard for seventeen years (1957-1975) through the period of its greatest success and its demise. Was Scott done in by its commitment to buy American components, to build in America and to not fast track manufacturing automation to reduce employment? Quite possibly.  Victor Pomper is not wrong in saying that Japanese electronics companies innovated around (and stole) patents, had relatively low wages and faced low environmental standards, received Japanese government backing and faced low to nonexistent America tariffs.  At some point those advantages will overtake even an innovative company like H. H. Scott. Once high fidelity is more or less achieved by all of Scott’s competitors, then any incremental improvements made by Scott become harder to sell at a price that will be paid by any but the most committed audiophile.  For H. H. Scott, the game goes from high quality and continuous technical innovation to price and marketing. And Scott gets beaten at that new game. The following is from an online forum by the name audiokarma on which in 2011 a contributor posts a picture of an H. H. Scott console and asks for opinions. This is one opinion: “There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of info on the H. H. Scott consoles; probably because they didn’t sell a lot of them (like Fisher.) Or more likely the ones they did sell didn’t survive the millennium. Seems that Scott used the consoles to experiment with tube-transistor hybridizing during the early to mid-1960’s. Maybe it was a parts bin clearing exercise to make way for the wild new world of transistors … we may never know. Anyway, I expect that the model you are looking at may be one of those tube preamp power output/ transistor hybrid jobs. The two piece later model knobs mounted on the right side of the faceplate and the Garrard changer are tipoffs that’s something transitional may be lurking under the hood … my parents had a late model H. H. Scott console that was fully transistorized, circa 1968; Theirs was the midline Berkeley Model. There were five models: Copley, Exeter, Berkeley, Andover and Carlisle. It had a dual 10-10 changer mounted on a massive spring suspended platform to quell acoustic feedback, tradename ‘Isomount.’ On all these generation solid state units, the knobs are left of the tuner dial. If you look closely, you can see the round Scott “Field Effect Transistor’ logo just above the signal strength meter. In its heyday, it sounded pretty decent for what it was. These units even had guitar and microphone inputs. I wonder how many teens wound up blowing out some of the drivers and smoking the outputs …”  Storage Location in the archive VF112 HH Scott folder (1 of 5) SU21-5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
