Turnback Tuesday visits another business from Derby: Summers & Lewis, a Furniture Manufacturer/Dealer/Undertaker at 68 Main St.
It was started some time before 1872 by Stephen N. Summers & Levi C. Lewis. They operated a successful business until Levi Lewis passed away in 1882. Stephen changed the name to S. N. Summers’ until his passing in 1884.
This picture is of Stephen’s business/calling card. It measures 3 ¼” x 2 7/8”.
Thanks go to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week!
