Turnback Tuesday features downtown Derby manufacturer
'Turnback Tuesday': At the corner of Main & Caroline Streets in Derby was H. S. Sawyer and Sons.
In 1875, they started out as W. H. & C. D. Sawyer as millers with H. S. Sawyer as a cotton manufacturer.
In 1881, the name changed to H. S. Sawyer & Sons Millers, and again to Sawyer Mills in 1887, specializing in flour, feed, and meal.
The business did not last too much longer after that with the passing of W. H., and C.D. moving to New Haven.
Thanks to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
