Hale started as a young Jehu in his father's single coach business,
and at age 26 he was managing the family business. He then
organized and consolidated opposing stage lines to launch the
Eastern Stage Company. During the difficult times of economic
hardship in Newburyport, Hale continued to provide passenger and
mail service from Newburyport to Boston and Portsmouth NH. In 1814,
Hale purchased a large brick building for the new Wolfe Tavern
which became the headquarters of Eastern Stage. The Eastern Stage
Company was successful and became an acknowledged power in the
stagecoach industry for more than 20 years. In 1833, Eastern had
500 horses and 60 stages, was debt-free, and had no accidents or
injuries. Hale was later awarded a Presidential appointment as the
Postmaster in Newburyport, a prestigious position in town.
