These Holders save time and patience by preventing snarling, and they economize in silk by preserving the last thread^in as good condition as the first. The goods are something unique which cannot be furnished by any other manufacturer in the world. Embroiderers, therefore, have the pleasure of using the best embroidery silk in this most convenient Holder. Brainerd & Armstrong's 5P00L 5EWINQ SILKS Arc "THE BEST" and preferred to other Spool Silks because they arc the LONGEST, STRONGEST and SMOOTHEST. Braiaard & Armstrone Silk la carefully and icien- tificalty made, on the latest improved machinery, wrhich insures a smooth, even thread. It sews smoothly always, either by hand or oiachlne. Every spool is carefully measured and will be found both full laoKth and full streagth.

KXOLANI) The Beginnings of Dedham THE earliest record relating to the settlement of Dedliain is a vote of tlie General Court Septen^iber 3, 1685, permitting a plantation to be settled about two miles above the falls of CUiarles Iviver. People flocking to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in gi-eat numbers could not be accommodated in the existing settlements, and weie compelled to look about for unoccupied lands. Tlie settlement begun at Watertown in 1630 very soon Ijccame crowded. More elbow room was wanted, and on this account a nundter of the Watertown men came up the Charles River and were attracted by our beautiful meadow lands before they were flooded by the dams across the river. It would appear that some of tiie men who first agitated this movement did not become settlers. The first recorded meeting of the Dedham settlers was held August IS, 1636. Eighteen persons were named as present, and the lirst business was to prepare a covenant wliich all were recjuired to sign for their mu- tual protection, and to prevent the admission '• into our Society " of any objectionable persons. Twelve acre lots were set out to a number of the members. Eleven days later a second meeting was held. The settlement was then called "Contentment." This word was afterwards erased and Dedham written in its place upon the records of the first two meetings. At the third meeting, September "), nineteen persons were present, and they all signed a petition to the Court for an additional tract of land five miles square on Nortli side of Charles River, and that the name of the settlement be called Contentment. Three more men afterwards signed ALWAYS •••• INTERESTING •••• IS ESPECIALLY •:• SO •:• AT •:• THE CHRISTMAS •:• SEASON BECAUSE •^ OF •••• EFFECTIVE DECORATIONS •••• AND UNIQUE •••• AND •••• INEXPEN- SIVE •:• GIFTS •••• WHICH •••• ARE NOW •••• BEING •••• SHOWN IF IT'/OBT/IINEIi flTbENNIS2N'5 IT'S OVIT 2F THE O R b I N /I R T DENNISON'S 26 FRANKLIN ST..

'Old Ocdbam days and ways ' THE j; EG INNINGS OF DEDllAJSI this petition, and the record says that " all wlio are admitted into our Society have subscribed thereto." September 10, IG^lti, this petition was granted except as to the name, the (ieneral Court decreed that it should l)e called Dedham. Only a portion of the orioinal members remained [)ermanently in Dedham, but early removed to Medtield and other new settlements. New members were admitted by vote with corn and wheat, after all (|ues- tions of their fitness had been settled and upon signing the Covenant. All business of the " Society '" was transacted l)y the full company until May 17, 1(130, when on account of tlie increased numlier it was con- sidered l)est to delegate their business affairs to a select body of seven men, and this is the origin of the Board of Selectmen. Other town oi'lices were from time to time created, as the necessities re(iuired. In l(i;!.S the church was establisbed, the fourteenth church instituted in New England. Among the most im- portant of the early enterprises of this town was the digging of a ditch through the meadow into East brook. Under a vote passed March l'5. ItiSU, this was done to create a water power for the mill. This was the origin of Mother brook, ])y which a portion of the water from Charles liiver was diverted through East brook into Neponset River, and upon which is now located all the mill privileges of the town including the privilege at Ueadville Mills. Another important work was the establishment liy vote passed January 1, 1(!44, of a free Public School sup- ported by the general taxation of the people, and which Dedham claims to have been the first free school so established. A taUet conuuemorating the establislimeut of this school was placed .lune 17, 189s, by the State upon the Church Green. It is an interesting fact to note that the same (ieneral Court, 1()36, which ratified our giant and gave us a name, appropriated £400 for the endowment of Harvard College. Dedham is the motliei- of towns: its territory originally extended from the Rox!)ury line to Rhode Island, and from the ohl Dorchester line to Charles Rivei'and across that river to the Natick and Watertown lines, and included in addition to its present territory also the towns of Needham, Wellesley, Medlield, Dover, Norfolk, Franklin, HcUingham and Westwood and ]iortions of Wrentham, Walpole and Norwood.

Because of its great antiquity ' anil its pictnresi[ueness it has sent the name of the good old town of Dedhani all over the civilized world. More than three million pictures of it have been sent broadcast. Jonathan Fairbanks built it in 1036, and eight generations of the family have occupied it since, thus niakinp- it the oldest occupied dwelling in our whole country. To-day twenty-live thousand persons of this name trace their lineage direct to Jonathan, including our Vice-President elect. The family became a cor- poration two years ago, and took the title to the old house in order to create a family museum and to preserve it for all future time. Here each August a family reunion is held. Last summer nearly one thousand responded to the call, coming from all over the United States. By special arrangement the old house will be open during this festival, and all are invited to inspect its quaint interior. Nestling among tiie giant elms, every one is charmed witii the lirst view on apiiroaching it from the willow road. It is one of our greatest attractions, and excites the admira- tion of the iiundreds of i)ilgrinis who aiuiually visit it. GRAIN HAY THE FISHER-CHURCHILL CO.

(^uincy, was probably built very early in the last century, by Edward Dowse, who was Ijorn in Charlestown in 175ti. Mr. and Mrs. Dowse left Boston at the time of the yellow fever in 1797, and went for a few weeks' residence to tlie old house on the Sprague Farm at Dedliam Low Plain. Tlie owner having occasion to use the house, Mr. Dowse came to the village, and purcliasing land on both sides of High St., liuilt this house. The late Edmund (^uiiicy, the grand-nephew of Mr. Dowse, and wiio subsei|uently l)ecame tiie owner of the property, in liis admirable l)i- ography of his father, Josiah (^uincy, says, "Any life of my father would be imperfect without a tribute of affectionate remembrance to those be- loved relatives, and, least of all, any written by me, who am daily re- minded of them by the roof that shelters me, liy the trees lliey ]ilanted, and by the river tliat they loved." Mr. Edmund Quincy came with his family from IJoston to reside in this house in 1840, and remained liere luitil his death, which took place May 17, 1S77, in the 70th year of his age. Mr. (,)uincy was an accom- plished and elegant scholar, a brilliant writer, an earnest ad\ocate of the abolition of slavery, a good neighbor and citizen. His niemoiy will long- be held in pleasant remembrance. 23 LIBRftRY OF CONGRESS 014 077 333 5 N E AV England Office House KsT.\iii.isirEi> 1871 r ii i; '^liJtff///\ ritrss Telephone. Main 1408 T. 0.

The design on the front cover was drawn by Miss Anna B. Morton, Supervisor of Drawing in the Public Schools of Dedham. It represents a view of the river, the old ford, and the " great rock " from the window in the rear of the Dowse House, now the Quincy mansion, " Bankside " of Lowell's poems. This historic window was removed from the old Haymarket Theater in Boston at the time of its demolition about 1802. This theater, an immense wooden structure, was built in 1796, and was then the largest and best arranged in America. On account of lack of support it was de- molished after standing only six years. This view, one of the finest on the river, inspired Lowell to say : " You ore still lovely in your new leaved green ; The brimming river soothes his grassy shore; The bridge is there; the rock with lichens hoar; And the same shadows on the water lean. Outlasting us." The front window of the Dedham Historical Society building is a reproduction of this window. Jftef^
