History

Established in 1893.

Joslin Displays Inc. was founded in 1893 as the Joslin Showcase & Fixture Co. in Boston, MA by Mr. Joslin. In 1946 Window Art & Display was founded in Boston by Nicholas Petrucci Sr. & Fred Colman both former window trimmers for C.F. Huvy’s Department store. Mr. Joslin died in 1949 and the company passed to his nephew Mr. Ferdinand meanwhile Mr. Petrucci had bought out his partner and approached Mr. Ferdinand about a merger. In 1949 the two companies merged to form Joslin Displays Inc located at the corner of Kingston and Essex Street (the name is still in the sidewalk). In 1951 Mr. Petrucci purchased Mr. Ferdinand’s shares and in 1957 Joslin moved to a new location on Lincoln Street in Boston.

Then in 1974, due to a sudden illness, Mr Petrucci’s son, Nicholas Jr, took over the day to day operation of Joslin. In 1978 Joslin moved to a larger showroom in Medford, where it remained until 2001. After a short time in Reading, Joslin moved to our current location in Wilmington, MA in 2006
