Each print job, whether broadside or newspaper, needed to be carefully planned.

Each letter was set by hand. After proofing, every copy was printed manually.

From his printing shop, Wood also sold insurance and became involved in civic activities, including the Wiscasset Fire Society and the Lincoln Library Association.

On the broadside at left, the Wiscasset selectmen offer a $25 reward for conviction of anyone involved in damaging cemetery fences.
