Book Description
Excerpt from History of New Bedford, Vol. 3 Arthur B. Fuller was born in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, January 12, 1882, and there completed the courses of Roger's Grammar School and one year of high school. He finished study at the New Bedford High School with the graduating class of 1900, then beginning his busi ness career. His first position was as stock clerk at the Weld Street Station of the New Bedford Street Railway Company. The following spring he was transferred to the main office of the company, which at that time was on the corner of Purchase and Union streets. From clerical position he was advanced to paymaster, then was promoted to the post of cashier, being transferred to the Weld Street Station in 1912. The custom, when he became cashier, was to receive the money collected by the conductors and place it in a common receptacle, count ing it in bulk the next day at the main office. The company did away with that system and inaugurated the present one of counting every conductor's money in his presence on coming in from a run, and Mr. Fuller was sent to the Weld Street Station to start this system. This plan caused a much greater degree of accuracy as well as a saving of conductors' and accountants' time. After two and a half years as receiver, Mr. Fuller became storekeeper, a position which had become a very important one with the great expansion of the company. Soon afterward he was appointed assistant purchasing agent for supplies and accessories, a position he still holds. The death of Mr. Bennett in 1914 created a vacancy in the position of superintendent of equipment, which was filled by Mr. Fuller's appointment. He brought to the position youth, enthusiasm, knowledge and experience, the duties of his office being efficiently and faithfully performed. He is a Republican in politics, a member of the Union Street Railway Relief Association, and in reli gion a Protestant. Mr. Fuller married, November 21, 1913, Flora F. Keith, of Onset, Massachusetts.

Book Description
Excerpt from New Bedford of the Past The following sketches were written currente ca lamo in 1875 for the New Bedford Evening Standard, with no intention of further publication. Beheving, however, that they have much of local historic value for the lover of bygone days, we have decided to publish them in book form, not only for their more sure preservation, but also to show the keen interest felt by the author in his native town. Editors. Nonqurrr, mass., Aug. 12, 1903. MY dear friends, anna and walton cmrsom I thank you for giving me an opportunity of reading some of your honored father's sketches of old New Bed ford. The names are mostly unknown to me, but I can easily see how valuable these reminiscences may be to the descendants of these Old citizens in time to come, and how pleasant to some even now. I find a certain charm in the very desultorincss of these papers, just as there is in an aimless ramble over country pastures, fields, and meadows, picking a flower here and there. Just such a ramble I had many a time with your father himself among the marshes and woods of this lovely Nonquitt. Why he chose to ask me to be his companion, I never clearly knew; but his talk was much like these papers, and I found quite as many wild flowers in it as we picked by the way, flowers Of poetical quotation or noble sentiment or genuine insight into ideal truth. The world of today is much the poorer for the passage Of so simple-hearted and nncor rupted a man as he indubitably was.

Book Description
It's the 1920s-the First World War is over, and the people of New Bedford, Massachusetts, like the rest of the country, enjoy high spirits and great prosperity. Familiar faces, young and old, look to a promising future in this great industrial city with a glorified maritime past. But trouble looms, and the next decades will require strength and determination. A troubled textile industry, the Great Depression, a challenged school system, hurricanes, wartime and a post-war economic decline-how will the city survive the tides of change? Resilient residents will take strength and encouragement from friends and community, finding laughter and escape through music, theater, radio, sports and other forms of entertainment. Everyday heroes will emerge. The city will reinvent itself and forge on. Fast forward to the 1960s. Following another post-war boom, new industries come to town, the hurricane barrier goes up and the fishing fleet brings promise and growth. But urban renewal tears at the heart of downtown and wipes out many old neighborhoods. The Vietnam War and the city's race riots bring turmoil and upheaval. Still, a new generation again brings hope and change. In A Picture History of New Bedford, Volume Two: 1925-1980, the second installment of a three-volume set, hundreds of photographs and stories bring the city to life in an enthralling journey through the core of the 20th century. Ride the last trolley, sip an ice cream float at a bygone soda fountain, take a turn on the ballroom dance floor. Celebrate New Bedford's music-from the big band sounds to folk, fado, jazz and rock and roll. Explore the evolution of the city's diverse mix of cultures and see New Bedford's fishing industry grow from a small fledgling fleet of draggers to what today is the country's number one fishing port. Experience the people, places, and events that have shaped New Bedford, one of New England's most historically significant cities.

Book Description
Excerpt from New Bedford Fifty Years Ago Simple Jimmie Dyer, the wood-sawyer, of whom a housekeeper told this story. She had employed him for the day, and after giving him his dinner, she was obliged to go out, so left his supper for him. He ate it immediately on her departure, and went home, declaring he never vet had worked after supper. Adelaide Goodale was another curious char acter, who sometimes wore a hat and a bonnet at the same time, the former perched on top. She had the most nasal of twangs, and kept a thread and needle store and a few sweeties on Third street. One winter the doctor advised her to take cod liver oil, but she told him that she fried her cakes in candle grease and stood over the smoke, and guessed that was just as good and a deal cheaper.
