The Carter and Andrews publishing firm, Lancaster, Massachusetts

Shown patriotically decorated for the town's 250th anniversary is the former Carter and Andrews publishing firm on the corner of Main Street and Barnes Court in Lancaster Center. In the early 19th century, the firm was among the leading in the country in the line of printing engraving, illustrating, and binding. At one time, the company employed nearly 100 people. However, the business went to pieces in the Panic of 1837.
