Inklings

Inklings: John Wilkins Carter and The Carter's Ink Company is the story of an old New England family and the companies they created and operated - beginning with Timothy Carter's Old Corner Bookstore in downtown Boston and spanning a 150-year period. The focus of the book is The Carter's Ink Company, which originated in Boston after the Civil War and prospered until 1976. The story also encompasses James Carter's paper business in Boston and Nashua, N.H. An in-depth look into the Carter's family is woven throughout and shows how their devout faith served as the backbone for their commitments to business, their communities, and to their fellow mankind.
