New Iron Goods Firm Opens In Shaftsbury
Whittier Enterprises and The Shaftsbury Forge open in a small Shaftsbury building on U S 7 near Newton's Milestone Motel. The Shaftsbury Forge will manufacture handwrought iron items, fire side and Colonial lighting, including a unique log holder designed by Lawrence V. Whittier, who says the piece fits decor from Park Avenue to Possum Creek. The company also markets MI CON Gunite Rigs for mixing and spraying concrete and will rent log splitting machines. Whittier plans a retail room and future hires, with a wholesale base and family ties to North Bennington High School students.
