Earl Carpenter-
Earl Carpenter (1794-1863) established
an ice business in 1822. Around 1815 he started business as a
grocer, and began selling Carpenter's spruce beer around 1820.
According to William R. Cutter's geaneology book, the beer became so
popular that he needed to have a steady supply of ice. This resulted
in the founding of his ice business, which became one of the most
successful in New England. His first ice house was on Benedict Pond,
and later on his main ice houses were on the southeast side of
Mashpaug Pond. In 1844 Earl Carpenter was listed as a grocer at 2
West Water St. and 25 Richmond St. In 1850 and 54-55 he was listed
as a beer and ice manufacturer. Charles E. Carpenter (1824-1898),
Earl's son, started working for his father in 1844. He purchased 1/3
interest in the company in 1854, when it became Earl Carpenter &
Son. They were still at the 2 West Water St. address. The grocery
business was discontinued in 1855. In 1881 Earl Carpenter & Son
was at 2 Westminster St. cor. Dyer St. They had a city depot at the
junction of Cove, Sabin, and Union Sts. Albert G. Carpenter
(1851-1902), Charles's son, joined the company around this time.
Charles retired from the company in 1884. In 1889 Earl Carpenter &
Co. were ice dealers at 2 Westminster St. Albert G. Carpenter and
E.C. Anthony were the partners. By 1903 they were bought out by the
Providence Ice Co. It is rather odd to note that none of the
company's ads mention the spruce beer, which was produced for a
number of years.
