The Seeley Company site was a Tavern back in the Revolutionary times . In 1862. McElroy & Cushman owned a men's clothing store which they held for about thirty years. In 1892, after the fire, C. E. Longley and G. N. Talbot bought out McElroy and Cushman and opened - up under the name of The Standard Clothing Co. Three years later, the present George W. Seeley came to Taunton to take charge of the office. In 1905, C. E. Longley died and Mr. G. N. Talbot bought-out his interests, and opened up as The Talbot Co., adding one more store to his chain which later became 47 stores. G. W. Seeley became the manager of the store. At the time the block was owned by the Mason Machine Company, who sold it to Mr. G. N. Talbot on Aug. 17, 1916. Dec. 30 , 1921 the firm became incorporated and Mr. Seeley was taken - in as Treasurer and Clerk, and the store became known as The Talbot Seeley Co. Jan. 10, 1922 Mr. Seeley bought the building from G. N. Talbot. Feb. 24 , 1934 the Talbot Seeley Company liquidated, and the present corporation was formed with Mr. G. W. Seeley as President and Treasurer , Mr. Joseph T. McDonald , Vice President , and Miss Catherine G. McNamara as Assistant Treasurer
