1893 Davis & Hatch Spice Co.
26 Union St - New Bedford

Photo from 1893
Davis & Hatch's store and factory located on 26 Union Street was the only business that dealt with grinding spices, cream of tartar and grinding and roasting coffee in New Bedford.
There was only one other similar business in Southern Massachusetts.

The business was started on High Street in 1865 by Timothy Davis and Thatcher Hatch.

Sometime around 1887 the business moved to the new address at 26 Union Street and in 1893 it was bought by Frank E. Fowler who in 1897 was still the manager and owner.

The factory part of the business was set up in the rear of the building, where they manufactured and packaged all of the ordinary spices in a convenient form for market.

Besides teas and coffee the company manufactured and put up cream of tartar, extracts, saleratus, baking powder, ammonia, blueing, which hazel, bay rum, insect powder, etc.

A specialty was Hatch's Non-Alcoholic Crystal Ginger as a dry form in small tins.

In 1923 Frank Fowler and his wife Sarah L Fowler still had the business listed at 26 Union and lived at 42 Foster Sreet.
