Abstract
Aaron Dennison started a small family business in Brunswick, Maine in 1844 for his father, Andrew. Initially, the only product was hand constructed paper boxes for watch makers and jewelers. Eliphalet Dennison, another son, bought the business from his father and moved it in 1855 to Roxbury, Massachusetts for its larger markets. There he continued making boxes but expanded into tags and later into crepe and other paper products. To acquire larger facilities and access to a railway siding, H.K. Dyer, president from 1892-1909, moved the company to Framingham, Massachusetts in 1896. The company also had a factory in Marlboro, Massachusetts and two subsidiaries, one in Drummondville, Canada and the other in London, England.
