<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 84296, member: 44"]I found several references to the Barr, caterer, company in Springfield, MA. Most of the references were connected to events that occured at colleges in that area of Massachusetts. Here is an ad of the caterering company in the Oct 1897 Amherst Student publication (Amherst College). It includes a thank you to the company for a caterering dinner served to a group from the college in Springfield. It is on the 2nd page of the publication. The first image is the cover and the next page is of ads with the Barr's ad on bottom row. I think the link should take you directly to the page with the ad.</p><p><a href="https://archive.org/stream/amherststudent3124amhe#page/n1/mode/1up" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://archive.org/stream/amherststudent3124amhe#page/n1/mode/1up" rel="nofollow">https://archive.org/stream/amherststudent3124amhe#page/n1/mode/1up</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
