Biographical / Historical

The Copper Range Company's head office was based in Boston from its founding in 1899 until 1961, when it moved to New York City. Many of the key officers were based in this office, including the president (excluding 1930-1944 and 1955-1959), secretary, treasurer, comptroller, and some vice-presidents (notably P. F. Beaudin). Directors' meetings were usually held in Boston, although not always at the head office.
