Eagle Square Achieves 150 Years Of Vermont Industry

Eagle Square Manufacturing Co of Shaftsbury marks 150 years of continuous production as the oldest industry in Vermont since 1817. In 1967 groups honor the firm with a recognition plaque and a tribute from the Wood Turners and Shapers Association. It began as steel carpenter squares, now a Stanley Works subsidiary with over 200 payroll, producing levels, folding rules and wooden tool parts.
