St. John Business No. 6 - PRICE & SHAW, Main St., Portland, pioneer carriage and sleigh makers. James A. PRICE came to St. John about 1853 from P.E.I. where he learned the carriage maker's trade and worked as a journyman with Jeremiah HARRISON. Mr. Harrison came to this city from up the St. John river about 1848 and worked at the carriage trade, which he completed at Newark, New Jersey. Returning to St. John, he built a carriage factory in Portland about 1851 and was joined in business by his brother, W.F. HARRISON. The factory was fully equipped with all the latest improvements of the day, employing sixty hands, till 1857 when it was destroyed by fire. Saving some $10,000 from the wreck and insuance the brothers changed their business and building, the same year, a store and wharf at Portland bridge engaged in merchandise. Arthur N. SHAW, a native of St. John, learned his trade with the Harrisons. Both Price and Shaw subsequently worked in large establishments in Boston and New Haven, but at the time of the burning of Harrison's manufactory, were working in it.
