The Fitchburg Woolen Mill Company,^ for six 

 pieces of Kerseymere, taken promiscously 

 from their Factory, and though it might not 

 be said to be handsomely finished, for it was 

 not ruined by the shearing, wearing, at 

 least, double the time of the French, or 

 German, $10,00 



Henry J. Lowe, of Fitchburg, for Chronometer 

 escapement, unrivalled in perfection of 

 workmanship and design, 5,00 



J. F. Munroe, of Fitchburg, for an egg beater, so 

 efficient and rapid in its results, that the 

 eyes of some of the old seniors watered, 

 either from reminiscences of time lost for 

 the want of it formerly, or other cause out- 

 side the province of your Committee, 1,00 



W. W. Cotting, of Fitchburg, for superior speci- 

 mens of boots and shoes, 3,00 



H. A. Goodrich, of Fitchburg, for caps and furs, 2,00 



Daniel Cross, of Fitchburg, for an elegant suit 

 of clothes, of workmanship so superior and 

 striking^ as to create an almost irresistible 

 desire in the Committee, to appropriate 

 them. How far Mr. Cross should be impli- 

 cated, by being the cause of such lawless 

 tendencies, they did not stop to enquire, but 

 gave him 4,00 



John Heywood, of Ashby, for a piece of old- 

 fashioned fro eking, 3,00 

 This is believed to be nearly the last of a manufacture 



so common in the year 1776, when so many mothers 



*This excellent Firm donated their premium at once to the Society.
