A note on the back of this photo of what looks like a giant butcher shop states it was taken in 1920, and the site is on Franklin Street in Nashua. The note also says this space was later occupied by the former Cole Printing Company, which the Dionne family operated from the 1960s or 70s until it closed sometime in the 1980s or early 90s. But when this photo was taken a century ago, it was in fact a butcher shop, more accurately the Cudahy Packing Company, whose Nashua shop was one of many scattered throughout the Midwest and South. The note says it was ‘a branch of Chicago Packing.’ A quick online search indicates the firm was incorporated in 1887 in Maine as the Armour-Cudahy Packing Company, and probably split into different factions over the decades. Armour, which of course is a well-known name in the meat industry, was acquired by the recognizable, but lesser known, Bar-S Foods Company in 1981.
