Andrews and Tobias Oakman Gardner. Alfred Andrews states he has formed a new copartnership with Tobias Oakman Gardner and Thomas H. Hickey, now to be known as Alfred A. Andrews & Co., and that they will relocate on September 1 to No. 77 Milk Street, corner of Federal Street in Boston, lately occupied by Hall, Olmsted and Company, "for the purpose of importing and jobbing of hosiery and gloves, shirts and drawers, trimming goods of all kinds. [etc.]" Old fold lines, else very good. Docketed on verso in manuscript, "Alfred A. Andrews & Co., Boston, Aug. 18, 1851." No listings found on OCLC. Alfred A. Andrews & Co. continued to operate at Milk Street into the 1860s. In 1856, during the festivities to inaugurate the statue of Benjamin Franklin in the city of Boston, the store "made an admirable show of festoons of bunting and flags, surmounted by a spread eagle holding a wreath of evergreens in its beak." [see: Nathaniel Bradstreet Shurtleff's "Memorial of the Inauguration of the Statue of Franklin," (Boston: 1857), p. 106].…
