Description |
Haddock & Son, job printers, produced pamphlets, catalogs, and lithographic trade cards in Philadelphia 1867-mid-1880s. Originally
an editor from Watertown, New York, John A. Haddock (1823-1898) and his son, Orison Lull Haddock (1845-1879), started the
printing firm in Philadelphia at 108 South Third Street in 1867. In the fall of 1872, the Philadelphia Inquirer announced
the consolidation of Haddock & Son with Dunk, Longacre & Co. and the relocation of the new firm Haddocks, Dunk & Longacre
to 104-106 South Eighth Street. With this merge, Orison Haddock left the trade for the Methodist Episcopal ministry and his
younger brother, Edwin C. (b. ca. 1850), assumed his share of the business.

By the end of the 1870s, John and Edwin continued to be listed as printers in the city directories, but not associated with
any firms. Edwin worked from 21 North Sixth Street between 1878 and the early 1890s and John A. copyrighted trade cards in
1879, including a Wanamaker & Brown Christmas eve advertisement held in the collections of the Library Company. By 1890, John
A. switched to the production of glass signs.

John A. Haddock was married to Mary (nee Lull, b. ca. 1823) and had four children, including Orison and Edwin C. In 1870,
Haddock headed a household that included his sons in North Philadelphia (Ward 20). By 1880, Edwin headed his own household,
including his wife Sallie (b. ca. 1852), daughter, and a servant at 1405 Bouvier Street in North Philadelphia (Ward 29). Following
his turn to the ministry Orison relocated to Carlisle, Pa., married Catherine Newsham, and had two children before his death
in 1879.
