The firm was known at that time as Prince & Lauritsen. After Mr. Prince's death, Attorney Chelsey S. Baker joined the firm, and the firm was known as Prince, Lauritsen & Baker. Attorney John R. Brownell joined the firm in the mid-1960's and the firm was thereafter known as Lauritsen, Baker & Brownell.
