Turnback Tuesday looks at the successful business of Little & Haggerty Heating & Plumbing.
Both Philip H. Little and William D. Haggerty started out as plumbers. In 1904, they joined forces and opened up Little & Haggerty at 16 Housatonic Ave. (16 Roosevelt Drive) They ran a successful business as partners until Little's death in January, 1933 at age 57.
Haggerty continued with the same name of Little & Haggerty until his retirement in 1955 when the new business became Dempsey & Shields Plumbers.
This Derby Exchange Telephone Directory was a recent donation from the R. Ahern family.
