Haddock & Son
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.

Title
National Bureau of Engraving and Manufacturing Company
Description
National Bureau of Engraving and Manufacturing Company, the commercially-oriented lithographic and printing firm established in 1876 by partners Joseph Carpenter, R. Evans Peterson, Charles E. Mass, and Henry Pennington (also of The Philadelphia Bank Note Company), operated in Philadelphia until 1909. The firm, created for the purpose of "designing and printing labels, show cards, bonds, checks, drafts, and other work and engraving when that process was required," originally operated from Second and Gold Streets, then 435 Chestnut Street, and from 510-512 Pine Street by 1878. Work produced by National Bureau includes an interesting ca. 1880 advertisement using allegorical imagery for A. Marschall & Co. champagne titled "American Triumph" and a chromolithographic advertisement showing the manufacturing of coke at the works of H. C. Frick Company (ca. 1885)., By 1880, the company maintained a branch in Burlington, N. J. and by the late 1880s was reported to have branches in "leading cities of the United States." The firm remained in business until 1909 with Henry Pennington as manager at 652 Philadelphia Bourse despite the company being sold at sheriff's sale in 1889 to businessman Enoch Pratt of Baltimore., Company manager Henry Pennington was born in Maryland in May 1841, and married to Sarah (b. ca. 1841) with whom he had two daughters, including Mary Engle (1872-1852), the noted bacteriological chemist. According to the censuses, Pennington resided in North Philadelphia, West Philadelphia, and Radnor in households with servants between 1880 and 1910. Pennington died on December 24, 1912. His funeral services were held at the Church of the Savior in West Philadelphia.
