Administrative History
True & Blanchard Company began with William W. True opening a tin store in 1844; E. C. Blanchard joined the company in 1866. True & Blanchard expanded their business with increased stock and services, making the business a full-service hardware store. In 1894, the company was joined by J.R. Atkin. The business focused on maple sugaring tools and equipment and even created their own line of maple sugaring products. E. C. Blanchard left the company in 1906, but the company’s name remained. True & Blanchard continued to expand, new facilities were acquired all over Newport, VT. Business was thriving and in 1919, W.W. True and J.R. Atkin sold their company to Vermont Farm Medicine Company of Bellow Falls, VT.
