Susan,
I would love to know what you've heard on the S.S. Pierce Company. My wife has posted replies on this thread. We live in boston and are always on the hunt for more information on the company. My grandfather never worked for the company, but did offer some support when they were in talks to sell the company to seneca foods in the 70's. I'm no historian, but my wife and I do scour many books and online content to find more information. We have collected some small 'ephemera' as it's known now.
Regards,
Nick
