Re: Pairpoint Manufacturing Company
Death of Andrew Snow New Bedford, Mass., Jan. 22.–Andrew Snow, who for 40 years was connected with the Pairpoint Corporation and Mt. Washington Glass Works, died at the Charlesgate Hospital in Cambridge on Jan. 10 of pneumonia following an operation which he underwent a few days previously. He was in his 61st year. He was a fine type of citizen, a man of integrity and character, and numbered among his business and social associates many warm friends.
Mr. Snow went to work in the Mt. Washington Glass Works at the age of 15. He finally became treasurer of the company at the time it was consolidated with the Pairpoint Corporation. He continued in the employ of the corporation until 1913, when he retired after having completed a business connection extending over 40 years. At the time of his retirement he was made a director and was such at the time of his death.
He lived the greater part of his life in New Britain and called that city his home during the 15 years he was in New York as manager for the Pairpoint Corporation.

WORLD'S FAIR - CHICAGO-1893
Disposition of the Jewelry Exhibits After the Fair
Chicago, Ill., Oct. 28.–The question of what would become of all the grand exhibits collected under the roof of the various great buildings is one that each visitor has many times asked himself during the closing week of the great Fair. Regret is everywhere heard that so marvelous a display of man's and woman's handiwork should pass into a mere matter of history and visionary plans for its perpetuation have crowded fast upon the minds of many. It is a pity to see the glorious spectacle pass from sight and more's the pity that concerted action can not be had looking toward the establishment of a permanent exhibit of the lines of manufacturing jewelers in New York city.
Pairpoint Mfg. Co.:–Stock unsold will be turned over to the Chicago office of the company. No definite step has been taken regarding the classic pavilion.

Re: Pairpoint Manufacturing Company
MORGAN ROTCH
Morgan Rotch is one of New Bedford's younger men of mark who has won distinction in her financial and political interests. A son of Hon. William J. Rotch, he was born in New Bedford in 1848. He was educated at the Friends Academy in his native city, at the Phillips (Exeter) Academy, and at Harvard College, from which he was graduated in 1871. After leaving Harvard he spent a year in European travel, and then entered business in New Bedford, first as a cotton broker, and later as a stock and note broker. In the latter capacity he now does a very extensive business, and his office is one of the financial centres of the city.
Mr. Rotch is president of the New Bedford Manufacturing Company, and his services are much sought after in the direction of the city's most important enterprises. He is now a director of the Howland Mills Corporation, the Rotch Spinning Corporation, the Pierce Manufacturing Corporation, the Southern Massachusetts Telephone Company, the National Bank of Commerce, the New Bedford Cordage Company, the New Bedford Opera House Company, the Pairpoint Manufacturing Company, and the Illinois Steel Company. His connection with the enterprises with which he is associated is always an active one, and it never fails to be for the benefit of the stockholders. In politics Mr. Rotch has had all the honors he has sought, and has refused more. He entered the Common Council of the city as a young man of thirty, and made his influence quickly felt.
Four years in succession (1885-88) he was elected to the mayor's chair, being returned on each occasion by majorities which attested his growing popularity. His administration was marked by the agitation and adoption of many much needed improvements, including extensive and beneficial work upon the streets, the construction of a new system of sewerage in a thickly populated part of the city, and the reorganization of the poor department. Since he left the mayor's chair Mr. Rotch has continued to be a prominent figure in municipal affairs, and as a member and first chairman of the Board of Public Works, which has entire charge of the streets, he has done, and is doing, excellent work for the city. Mr. Rotch's zealous work for the Republican party, of which he has always been a consistent adherent, was recognized by Governor Ames, who selected him as a member of his military staff. In 1891 he was elected to the State Senate, where he served with distinction for one term, refusing a renomination for business reasons. Mr. Rotch was elected president of the Bristol County Agricultural Society in 1891, and his association with and work for it has given this society a new vigor. On Dec. 4, 1879, Mr. Rotch was married to Miss Josephine G. Grinnell, of New Bedford. They have two children. He is a member of the Wamsutta Club, New Bedford; the Somerset, Country, and Athletic clubs, Boston, and the Union and University clubs, New York. In the social and financial circles of the two last-named cities Mr. Rotch is well known and very popular.

MEET AT NEW BEDFORD
Members of Hollow-Ware Manufacturers' Service Bureau Hold Business Session and Enjoy Outing
New Bedford, Mass., Sept 24.–The Hollow-ware Manufacturers Service Bureau held its regular monthly meeting at the New Bedford Hotel yesterday. Many Bostonians attended the meeting, which was held in this city, instead of in New York as usual, through the efforts of Frederick R. Fish, general manager of the Pairpoint Corporation, who has been president of the bureau for the last three years. The object in having the gathering here was to combine the business session with an annual outing. About 50 delegates were present, when subjects of paramount interest were discussed.
After business had been dispensed with the company journeyed in automobiles to Remington's, at Hix Bridge, Westport, where a special clambake was served. The party then returned to New Bedford and visited the principal points of interest, including the rooms of the Old Dartmouth Historical Society. It was the first visit of many of the members who consequently stayed over for several days to enjoy automobile rides to places of interest in and around the city.

Re: Pairpoint Manufacturing Company
About the time the Spring lines of fine cut and decorated glass ware, artistic lamps, novelties, etc., have been completed by the Pairpoint Mfg. Co. the concern will be in their new salesrooms at 38 Murray St.. New York. The Pairpoint Mfg. Co. and the Mt. Washington Glass Co., whom they control, have leased the large store at this address which they will occupy about May 1. In their new home the facilities for exhibiting their wares as well as the conveniences for customers will be far greater than those afforded by their present salesrooms at 46 Murray St., and the change will no doubt prove equally beneficial to the company and their patrons.

Re: Pairpoint Manufacturing Company
He Forget Where He Left His Watch and So Made Trouble
New Bedford, Mass., Sept. 24.—C. W. Haskins and J. Tobey, two jewelers of Purchase St., this city, have not the slightest resemblance each to the other; nevertheless, Mr. Haskins came near having trouble a few days ago by some one mistaking him for his friend Mr. Tobey.
About 6 o'clock one evening last week a man named Holmes, employed at the Pairpoint Mfg. Co.'s works, went into Haskins' store and said in the most matter-of-fact tone, "Well, is my watch done?" Mr. Hawkins replied that he did not have any watch of his, did not know the man, and did not remember having previously ever seen him.
Holmes replied that he surely left his watch there to be repaired, and even went so far as to say he gave it to Mr. Haskins himself. He described accurately the details of the affair, and was sure he went out with Mr. Haskins when the latter locked the store and walked home. He became provoked as his description failed to awaken the jeweler's memory and fell into anger, finally going out in dudgeon and swearing he would get his watch if it took all the police force of the city to secure it.
Three hours later he returned and asked if Mr. Haskins was ready to surrender the timepiece. Of course the jeweler refused, suggested that Holmes must have left his watch in some other shop, and even sent out a clerk to see if he could find it, although Holmes was sure he was right.
In a few minutes the clerk returned, having discovered the missing watch in Mr. Tobey's shop, on the opposite side of the street, three squares away, in a smaller building and an entirely different appearing store.

Re: Pairpoint Manufacturing Company
A pleasing novelty in calendars has been presented to the trade by the Pairpoint Mfg. Co., New Bedford, Mass. The form and appearance is that of a silver spoon. It is made on the principle of a fan, the end sticks being of silvered paper embossed with the Pairpoint Mfg. Co.'s popular Dresden pattern; the sticks between contain the monthly calendar. The conception is quaint and original, and will cause the souvenir to be appreciated by its recipients.
