National Straw Works
Bring a little Westborough home.
Rocks Glass · Clear · 10 oz
A quiet drink at home does not need an occasion; setting a glass on the table can be enough for a pause. Horse-drawn freight and railway tracks surround Westborough's National Straw Works, leaving several small working details to notice around the factory buildings.
An advertising lithograph published between 1880 and 1883 depicts Westborough's National Straw Works. Horse-drawn freight and railroad tracks surround the factory buildings. Preserved by the Huntington, the image records how an industrial business presented its workplace, linking local manufacturing with the routes that served it.
The factory advertisement connects a Westborough workplace with its transport routes, offering a specific subject for someone interested in local manufacturing. It can be a useful gift for the table at home, with a particular place to talk about alongside the drink.
