From Concord Statesman Whaloa-who a North End tale
A Nameless Concord family from the North End is recalled with James, a son who left for Boston about forty seven years ago. His career ranged from organist and stage worker to waterman and ticket-seller at a famous theatre. He later funded the Bunker Hill Monument, moved through New York to wholesale hardware, helped found the Academy of Music, built a Newport summer mansion, and now maintains a grand Parisian establishment. Truth proves stranger than fiction in this biographical reminiscence.

Despite lower London prices for Brussels and velvet carpets, U S buyers face costs of 2 to 2.35 dollars per yard for Brussels and 2.25 to 3.15 dollars for velvets due to monopolistic pricing and limited competition.
