Reed & Barton Co., Taunton, Mass., to Celebrate One Hundredth Anniversary at Annual Outing on Aug. 2

TAUNTON, Mass., July 26—In connection with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the business of the Reed & Barton Co., the annual outing will be held at Nantasket Beach on Saturday, Aug. 2. Arrangements have been made for a special train to leave here about 12:30 o’clock that day for the famous Massachusetts shore resort, where a special dinner will be served and a series of games conducted. It is the intention of those in charge of this outing to make it one in keeping with the significance of the occasion.

The company has issued a beautiful booklet entitled “A Century of Silversmithing,” which, as the foreword says, is “A brief account of the interesting development of silverware manufacture as reflected in the growth of an organization that now celebrates its centennial in this field.” It was written by Philip L. Sniffin and is profusely illustrated. Among the illustrations are portraits of Henry G. Reed, who died in 1901, and Charles E. Barton, who died 1867, while as a frontispiece is a portrait of William B. H. Dowse.

In presenting these souvenirs of the industry, the edition of which is very limited, the Reed & Barton Co. says: “In this book we have tried to convey to you a glimpse of 100 years’ progress in the silver-ware industry and to sketch the history of this century of service in the Reed & Barton organization.”

William H. MacAusland, foreman of the white metal department of the Reed & Barton Co., Taunton, Mass., resigned Saturday after 37 years of faithful work. Beginning as errand boy and apprentice, Mr. MacAusland rose to the head of his department. His resignation was a surprise to the workmen, who were not aware of his decision until he appeared in the room to bid them good-bye and good luck. Mr. MacAusland started in the employ of the company in 1873. His first position of trust was as superintendent of the pattern making department. In 1891 he was placed in charge of the tea ware department, and two years later was given full charge of the white metal department.
