- Note
- Wood & Bishop operated at 40-42 Broad Street in Bangor. An ad in the 1912 city directory reads: "Clarion ranges, stoves, and furnaces give results that cannot possibly be obtained with carelessly made goods. These are economical, because they are accurately fitted to control the draft--durable, because they are made of the choicest of new iron--convenient, because of their many special improvements. Made and sold by Wood & Bishop Co." Charles H. Wood served as president of the company. Bishop is not identified in the 1912 Bangor city directory.
