Thomas, a schoolteacher, bookseller, and amateur astronomer living near Boston, Massachusetts, began a North American institution when he published the first issue of his Farmer's Almanac. (The word Old was added in 1832.) He was confident of his skills and knowledgeable about his readers. In one of the early issues, he wrote: "We must strive always to be useful, but with a pleasant degree of humor." That timeless formula of providing useful advice and entertaining information has contributed greatly to making The Old Farmer's Almanac an indispensable reference for generations of readers. The Old Farmer's Almanac is one of several publications produced by Yankee Publishing Incorporated of Dublin, New Hampshire. It is joined by the Gardener's Companion magazine, now published two times each year (January and April), and several theme calendars and journals: Gardening, Herbs, and Weather Watcher's, all full-color wall calendars; the Engagement Calendar, a spiral-bound appointment book and journal; the Every Day Weather Journal, for recording daily meteorological data; and the Weather and Almanac Every Day calendars, designed and boxed in a page-per-day format.
