National Straw Works
Bring a little Westborough home.
Square Magnet · 4 × 4 inches
Between checking a list and leaving the kitchen, there is a moment to look at the small picture on the fridge. 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. Put it near a message you will check later, so the little view is there when you return to the kitchen.
