Nathaniel Hayward, who originally established the company under a different name, first experimented with spreading turpentine and gum rubber on cloth at his workshop in Boston where he ran a livery stable and carriage workshop. He moved to Easton in 1836 and with others, set up the Eagle India Rubber Company which was shortly relocated to Woburn. Hayward developed machines for working the material and sold some to a larger competitor, the Roxbury India Rubber factory, where he met Charles Goodyear. In 1838, Hayward sold his interst in Eagle rubber to Goodyear but stayed on in a salaried position. Hayward had discovered that dusting rubber sheets with sulphur, or painting the surfaces of the sheets with solutions of sulphur in turpentine and exposing them to sunlight (a process he called "solarisation") caused the gum to dry more perfectly and to 'improve the whole substance thereof rendering it much superior to that prepared by any other combination therewith'. This he patented in 1838 (US Patent 1090 granted 1839) and immediately assigned it to Goodyear. Ironically the first person to take out a license to manufacture rubber goods under Goodyear's vulcanization patent was Hayward but he very soon transferred it to Gandee and Steele and this firm went on to become part of the United States Rubber Co. in 1892. In 1844, Nathaniel Hayward Company was established at Lisbon, Connecticut. transferring to Colchester in 1847. From here rubber products, boots, and shoes were shipped all over the country. Hayward retired in 1864 because of ill health and died the following year. In 1888 the company was re-organized as the Colchester Rubber Company and thrived until 1893 when it was closed.

Harold Gray had been an assistant on The Gumps when he got the idea for a strip about an orphan. Originally called Little Orphan Otto, Gray was talked into changing the gender by an astute editor. While some feel that Gray's style was rather limited, that didn't matter. Gray was an incredible writer whose expert skill could pull in an audience. The strip was an amazing success. Annie appeared on radio in 1930 and that lasted until 1943. Comic books beckoned and strip repeats ran for over ten years. The character (and Gray's concept) had such incredible legs that she became a Broadway Musical in the seventies. Annie had many imitators, but none ever came close to what Gray was able to build in the way of narrative and style. Gray passed away in 1968. The Syndicate decided to continue the strip using ghost artists. Tex Blaisdale was among them. In 1974 the Syndicate stopped making new strips and just re-ran Gray's older work until Annie's Broadway success brought attention to the strip. The Syndicate than brought in Leonard Starr and they gave the character a make-over. They also renamed it 'Annie'. In 2000 Starr retired and the Syndicate brought in two new artists who are doing a great job of keeping Annie alive as the strip is still published today.

The series centered on a two-man troubleshooting team for a covert espionage organization: American Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn), and Russian Illya Kuryakin (David McCallum). Leo G. Carroll played Alexander Waverly, the British head of the organization. Lisa Rogers (Barbara Moore) joined the cast as a female regular in the fourth season. James Bond creator Ian Fleming contributed to the show's creation. Robert Towne and Harlan Ellison wrote scripts for the series, which was originally to have been titled Solo. Author Michael Avallone, who wrote the first original novel based upon the series, is sometimes incorrectly cited as the creator of the series (such as in the January 1967 issue of The Saint Magazine). The series, though fictional, achieved such notability as to have artifacts (props, costumes, documents, and a video clip) from the show included in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library's exhibit on spies and counterspies. Similar exhibits can be found in the museums of the Central Intelligence Agency and other agencies and organizations involved with intelligence gathering.

AL HIRSCHFELD The artist, a Jewish American caricaturist best known for his simple black and white satirical portraits of celebrities and Broadway stars. Born in St. Louis, Missouri he moved with his family to New York City where he received his art training at the Art Students League of New York. In 1924 he traveled to Paris and London, where he studied painting, drawing and sculpture. When he returned to the United States a friend showed one of his drawings to an editor at the New York Herald Tribune, which got him commissions for that newspaper and The New York Times. Hirschfeld's art style is unique, and he is considered to be one of the most important figures in contemporary caricature, having influenced countless cartoonists. Hirschfeld's caricatures are almost always drawings of pure line with simple black ink on white paper with little to no shading or crosshatching. His drawings always manage to capture a likeness using the minimum number of lines. Though his caricatures often exaggerate and distort the faces of his subjects he is often described as being a fundamentally "nicer" caricaturist than many of his contemporaries, and being drawn by Hirschfeld was considered an honor more than an insult. Nonetheless he did face some complaints from his editors over the years; in a late-1990s interview with The Comics Journal Hirschfeld recounted how one editor told him his drawings of Broadway's "beautiful people" looked like "a bunch of animals". Hirschfeld generally dismissed these complaints and most observers would agree that time proved him right.

Most recently his work was seen in the film "Ant Bully" and "Mirror of Dreams" and before that, Coolworld with Brad Pitt. He is especially known for his dark fantasy work for the UK gaming company, Games Workshop, as well as Fighting Fantasy books, Wizards of the Coast card art, FASA game books, and others, in addition to hundreds of cover and interior illustrations for books and magazines.

JERRY KNIPSCHER This piece was published on the cover of The Boston Pop’s Orchestras LP. JIM MIRRAY Jim Murray is an artist for an Entertainment company. His work is difficult to find for many reasons. For one he does a lot of behind the scenes conceptual and promotional work for projects his company is associated with and companies that commission the work buy it outright, and two he dabbles in comic books and magic cards for fun and his originals usually get bought right away and locked in private collections. This piece was created for Murray’s best known Magic Card called Macabre Waltz. Because of the content of this image the heads at Magic had a meeting whether or not this would be used and in the end they decided it is to good a painting not to print. WALTER BAUMHOFER Walter Baumhofer signed this piece under the pseudonym, Martin Walters. For the 1966 calendar by the Thomas D. Murphy Calendar Company from Red Oak, Iowa. Baumhofer remains best known as the 'King of the Pulps' but his long legacy reaches far beyond that moniker. Blessed with a long and fluid career, Baumhofer was one of the few artists who successfully bounced from the pulps to the slicks, thanks in large part to his exceptional skill as an artist. He could capture a pretty girl in a handsome man's arms as easily as he could grab readers with a pulp monster threatening the world. He started at Adventure magazine, doing story interiors when fellow artist, H. Winfield Scott told him he'd make more money with color covers. Baumhofer liked the paycheck covers offered and, because of his talent, he was soon churning out crime, western, and thriller paintings. Some 550 pulp covers grace his resume, including Detective Tales, Fire Fighters, Wild West Weekly, Ace High, Gangland, Gangland Stories, Danger Trail, Western Story, The Spider, Spy Stories, Dime Mystery, Dime Detective, and of course, Adventure. Baumhofer also did the first Doc Savage covers (an art director told Baumhofer that Savage was "a man of bronze -- known as Doc, who looks very much like Clark Gable. He is so well built that the impression is not of size, but of power"; Baumhofer got most of this impeccably, though his Savage does not look like Gable. In fact, he has an uncanny resemblance to Baumhofer's other serial hero, the cowboy, Pete Rice. There were even bigger bucks to be made in the slicks and by 1936, Baumhofer was looking to expand. He had little trouble making the transition, starting with Liberty, and then had success with American Weekly, Cosmopolitan, Woman's Home Companion, Country Gentleman, This Week, Macao’s, Redbook, American Magazine, Woman's Day, Collier's, Esquire. As the ledge on which illustrators could stand grew narrower in the later 50s, Baumhofer moved to the more rugged, out-doorsy themes he'd always had a knack for, producing vivid calendar pieces as well as cover and interior work for True, Argosy, Sports Afield, Outdoor Life. MARGUERITE KIRMSE Marguerite Kirmse was born in Bournemough, England. Her career was launched in NYC and Bridgewater, Connecticut where she had her house and studio. Kirmse specialized in drawings, paintings, etchings, and sculpture of dogs, in particular Scottish Terriers which she loved and raised on her estate. Kirmse illustrated many books including the highly collectable limited edition books by Derrydale Press.
