Download or read book The Filleys written by Donald Southerton and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-06 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Filleys: 350 Years of American Entrepreneurial Spirit provides snapshots into American entrepreneurship history for a broad readership through a series of biographic essays. These stories, centering on the accomplishments of one family, provide vivid insights into entrepreneurialism in America, spatially across the country and temporally over three centuries. Author Don Southerton guides the reader through multiple generations of the Filley family beginning in 17th century Puritan New England. The saga includes the rise of the Yankee trader, land speculation, and the development of American manufacturing. The Filley business endeavors represent a slice of the American entrepreneurial experience. Moreover, this experience was shared by many thousands of other Americans whose families can be traced to colonial times. Together, they raised families, embraced capitalism, and built this country. The portraits of people and events in this saga provide us with a revealing and instructive glimpse into times long gone, and allow us to connect vicariously to a part of our collective past.

Download or read book Bloomfield written by and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout Bloomfield, the name that appears nearly everywhere is Wintonbury-Wintonbury Flower Shop, Wintonbury Avenue, Wintonbury Library, and so forth. There is a reason. The town was once a section within three towns, Windsor, Farmington, and Simsbury, and took as its name one part of each: Win-ton-bury. Wintonbury began as an agricultural town, whose farmers developed trades that not only helped each other but also helped the town develop and prosper. Among the businesses resulting from these trades were the Bidwell sawmill, the Gillette gristmill, the Augustus Whiton wagon factory, and the Humphrey brothers' sash and blind factory. Schools and homes of the time were made of bricks from the Eggleston family's brick-making kilns. Although the name was changed to Bloomfield when the town was incorporated, the city has held firmly to its past while still moving forward. Bloomfield is a compilation of nineteenth- and twentieth-century photographs showing the lives of those who most influenced and characterized the communities of Wintonbury and Bloomfield. It is a pictorial history that revisits the early days, when industry was just beginning, and more recent times, as the town thrived with a progressive educational system and became the home of Connecticut General Insurance Company. While enjoying its closeness to Hartford, Bloomfield has developed a unique culture of its own, which is revealed in this fascinating history.
