He did a large and successful business up to the panic of 1837 and continued for several years after with varied success. His sons, Wm. P., John, James and Charles, worked at the business. Mr. Crossfield, after a few years, went to work at the Connecticut state-prison at Wethersfield, but returned in a short time to Beverly and worked at the trade here.

SHOES AND SHOEMAKING ILLUSTRATED.

To produce handsome stylish and good fitting shoes it is necessary to have patterns that will make these goods. The pattern making business is more than a mere trade, it combines skill and art, besides natural mechanical talent and ability. One of the most successful pattern makers in this vicinity is W. O. CREE. Mr. Cree is also a successful Contract Boot and Shoe stitcher, and all work entrusted to him will be done at short notice and satisfaction guaranteed.

GARDNER & SIMMONS are a hustling young firm doing business at 27 Park street. In the fall of 1895 they bought out the old and established business of George V. Brown, and occupy the entire floor of their building. Their specialty is tips. They use the best patent leather for the work, and their business is constantly on t'he increase since the inception of the partnership. They have an extensive trade in Beverly and the adjoining cities as the reputation of their goods extends far and wide, the firm receiving orders daily from distant shoe manufacturing centres. Wallace W. Gardner and John H. Simmons comprise the firm, both active, hard working business men who deserve the success which has come to them.
