Re: Information Regarding the Towle Silversmiths
The Rogers, Lunt & Bowlen Company, which conducts a silversmithing business in Greenfield, employs about 150 people, many of them being highly skilled designers, engravers, die cutters, and silversmiths. The product of the factory is exceedingly interesting. Their work is executed entirely in solid silver, and the designs used are of a particularly pleasing variety. The colonial patterns of silverware which, during the past few years, have risen to a much deserved popularity are dwelt upon almost exclusively by the designers of the Rogers, Lunt & Bowlen silver. An interesting succession from the earliest silversmiths of Massachusetts is to lie traced in the personnel of the company. Among the earliest silvercrafters, in the eastern part of the state, were the Moultons whose business was established in 1692; since that early time it has been handed down from father to son through many generations. Anthony Towle learned his trade of the Moultons and established himself in business in 1855 moving to Greenfield in 1890 where the establishment was known as the A. F. Towle & Son Company. Messrs. Lunt and Bowlen had been engaged with Mr. Towle since 1882 and 1884 respectively, having come to Greenfield in those years. The present corporation of Rogers, Lunt & Bowlen Company succeeded the A. F. Towle & Son Company in 1902. From the foregoing the direct succession from the Colonial silversmiths is to he noted, and this influence is now traceable in the Colonial Patterns of silverware produced by this concern. The output of the factory is widely distributed. The company manufactures everything which is demanded for the most elaborate setting of a dining table, and its designers are continually producing new patterns which are executed in their exquisite designs. The company has an office in San Francisco at 717 Market Street; in Chicago at the corner of Madison and Wabash Avenue, and in New York at 15 Maiden Lane. Besides these salesrooms, it has a force of eleven salesmen upon the road who cover every town and state in the country. The factory is one of the busiest in Greenfield.
