Sargent, Photography, Manchester Center, VermontMade by Dexter Press, Inc., West Nyack, NY _______________________________________ "Back in the 1800s, wooden bowls were a household commodity, and bowl mills sprung up across New England, and most especially in Vermont as mills grew up along the rivers. One of those was the Weston Bowl Mill. Weston Bowl Mill - Working at piece work rates, brother Emmett Bean and his sister finished rims for the Weston Bowl Mill from 1948 through the 60s. Sadly when Erma and Emmett retired, this unique country rim was forgotten, and soon after, the Weston Bowl Mill closed in the fall of 1996."https://www.newhampshirebowlandboard.com/pages/weston-bowl-mill "Weston is a town in Windsor County, Vermont, United States. The population was 623 at the 2020 census. Home to the Weston Playhouse Theatre Company, it includes the villages of Weston and The Island. HistoryWeston was originally the western part of Andover called West Town. Because Markham and Terrible Mountain blocked travel between the town's halves, it was set off and incorporated on October 26, 1799, by the legislature. Set among the Green Mountains, the terrain is very rough and mountainous, but the intervales provided good soil for agriculture and pasturage. A second village grew at the canal cut to divert the West River to power watermills. Called the Island, it developed into a small mill town. By 1859, when Weston's population was 950, industries included ten sawmills, a gristmill, two tanneries, one wood-turning mill, one machine shop, one axe shop, one carding machine, in addition to shops for blacksmiths, carpenters, tinsmiths, wheelwrights and shoemakers. Vermont's oldest professional theatre, the Weston Playhouse Theatre Company, was founded in 1935. The Vermont Country Store, a catalogue, retail, and e-commerce business, was established here in 1946 by Vrest and Ellen Orton. GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 35.2 square miles (91.1 km2), of which 35.0 square miles (90.6 km2) is land and 0.19 square miles (0.5 km2), or 0.57%, is water. The West River flows through the town. Weston is crossed by Vermont Route 100."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weston,_Vermont
