North Adams, 6PM
Dr. Samuel M. Jones owned the Arnold Print Works, a world renowned textile manufacturer once based in North Adams, and kept the enterprise alive through the Great Depression. Learn the remarkable story of the son of an Irish immigrant & native of North Adams, who bought the region's largest business in 1926 before he was 40 years old. After saving Arnold Print Works from bankruptcy in 1938, he brought the company back to profitability, eventually selling the Marshall Street complex to Sprague Electric when the advent of WWII forced the liquidation of the business. At that time, Arnold Print Works had 2,500 employees. Join Samuel M. Trudel, an award-winning graphic designer & historian, as he discusses his recently published two-book companion series covering Arnold Print Works history between 1868 and 1942 with an engaging presentation including important never before published photographs of the company’s operations, samples of original Arnold Print Works fabrics, family photographs and letters. 3rd floor community room. All are welcome. This event is co-hosted with the North Adams Historical Society.
