A few years after- wards Mr. Hoyt died and the property was purchased by Truman Minor and Frost Horton, who, in 1835, formed a co-partnership under the firm name of Minor & Horton, and three years afterwards the firm became Minor, Horton & Co., who commenced the erection of extensive additions and enlarged their business to such an extent that their wares were shipped to almost every part of the world.
