Read & Rankin

This appears to be a business partnership between Paddock Read and Alexander Rankin. It is not listed in the Taunton City Directory and I am only aware of it from a CDV in my possession. It is listed as Read & Rankin, Corner of Main and Cedar Street and No. 6 City Square. On the CDV I have, Read and 6 City Square are lined out so it is likely it was taken after Read's death in 1877.
