18960008032Le Roy New York. Good. 1896. On offer is an interesting little diary from 1896 that details the efforts of a young man to start his own business. The volume measures 4 inches by 2 1/2 inches and contains 92 diary pages several memoranda pages and a number of information pages. It is in good condition and all pages are intact. The diary is about 60% complete and the handwriting is legible. The author is Clarence H Williams and he lives in LeRoy NY about half way between Buffalo and Rochester. There is little biographical information but context suggests that he is a young man who is now living on his own. Right from the outset we learn that he is trying to establish a viable small printing business: "I sent 26 boxes of goods away today" Jan 7 "I went down and run 1000 books tonight. I earned about $1.30 today. So today aint bad" Jan 11. However he doesn't rely only on his small business. He purchases chickens to run a poultry business Jan 11 and engages in other activities such as cutting wood with his father. He bought a Simplex Typewriter to help in his printing business noting: ". I have got 814 words of my advertising piece written" Jan 19. It is slow going and despite some thoughts of quitting he persists. In April he notes: "I drew a check for $3.10 from the firm."May 1. The diary is blank between May 29 and Aug 10. During that time it seems he was working to build a circular saw and he notes on Aug 11: ". My circular saw works tip top. " Aug 11. Keeping in line with his continual searching out information for new ideas and businesses he refers to another 'how to' book he has received: ". I bought a book called Picture Making in the Studio last Monday and I just received it today." Aug 15. He comments about looking for work but when he gets an offer its not a lot: "Mr. Hooker wants me to do his chores this winter but I don't know about it. There is only 50 ¢ a week in it." Oct 10. The year ends much as it started - with Williams struggling along with his small printing business some chickens and work that he finds around the area. For a historian looking at life in turn-of-the-century rural America this little diary is an excellent resource. Not only does it detail Williams daily efforts but if mentions a number of other local and regional business as well as many individuals - each of whom can be followed up on to build an even more detailed picture of life in rural up-state New York.; Manuscript; 48mo - over 3" - 4" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 19TH CENTURY 1890S CH WILLIAMS; CLARENCE H.

19008941<p>London: Various 1900. 50 books and pamphlets from the personal library of the furniture designer and high-end London shop-keeper Sir Ambrose Heal which reflect his love for the Arts and Crafts movement and his passion as a pioneer and champion of design.
