NoteWorcester, Worcester Co., MA, USA, Arthur N. Whittemore biography: He did not like that work and soon left it to enter the employ of Robert L. Smyth, a shoe manufacturer. He remained with Mr. Smyth several years, then was employed in other shoe factories in the city, finally leaving
that line of work to go with the Hammond Organ Reed Company, remaining with that company 4 years. From the Hammond Company he went to C.W. Sears, a grain dealer, acting as bookkeeper during that entire period. That was the last position he ever filled as an employee, his next change being in 1889, to a partnership with H.H. Houghton, formerly senior partner of the grain firm, Houghton, Garland & Sears. The new firm, Houghton & Whittemore, purchased the business of C.W. Sears and continued grain dealing at No. 525 Main Street, in the Holbrook store. In 1895 the business so increased that new quarters were necessary
and a brick building was erected at Nos. 5-7 Beacon Street. In addition the firm owned elevators and store houses at 2 railroad yards in the city, andbecame very prosperous.
In 1899 Mr. Houghton withdrew, Mr. Whittemore continuing the busines alone, reorganizing under the firm name A.N. Whittemore & Company. There has been a constant increase in the volume of business transacted each year, the lines carried including hay, grain, feed, straw, and a general line of similar goods used by farmers and horse owners.
