[Mercantile History – New York – Citrus Trade - Postal History] Knowles, Joseph; Wyckoff & Scrymser; Lus, A WmBiblio.com

Collection of Letters Sent by Steamboat to Boston Merchants Silas Pierce & Co. 1840â€“1849 Discussing the Citrus Trade Sicilian Merchants Sales and a Check that â€œmay remove all scruplesâ€

1849List3334New York City 1849. Eight letters. Overall excellent. A small collection of letters to Boston-based grocers Silas Pierce & Co. sent from New York by steamboat with notes on covers or stamps reading â€œBoat Mailâ€ or â€œSteam Boat Mailâ€. Five of the letters are from Wyckoff & Scrymser which was likely owned by a member or members of the prominent New York Wyckoff family the Scrymser surname first appears in the Wyckoff family history in 18411. Wyckoff & Scrimser discuss sweet and red wine prices â€œopperations in Trentâ€ likely Trento Italy delayed shipments and issues with products; for instance: â€œThe Harmony has not yet made her appearance neither the Aselia the non arrival of the latter is very perplexing but we see no remedy for it. . Annexed please find the sales of the Raisins amount Nett proceeds to your Co Nine Thousand One Hundred Seventy Four 06/100 Dollars which we hope may be found correct and satisfactory. There were a number of the parcels that were sold from the wharf but rejected which we were obliged to and store that the objections might not be known &c. The half boxes . did not have any external appearance of damage and could onky be known by opening. We rather congratulated ourselves that we have got off so well with this fruit as we had strong fears of the result.â€ December 29 1843 Also discussing business with Italy is a letter from Wm. A LÃ¼s on behalf of Ferd. Baller & Co. of Messina which traded in citrus fruit: â€œThe principal object of my friends is to introduce their Brand favorably into your market & their efforts to do this will alone be sufficient to secure you a superior article of fruit & other Goods; . they are also in the position of obtaining any other Sicilian produce at the most advantageous terms while at Messina or Palermo through their agent there.â€ August 30 1849 Demand for citrus products was high as it had been discovered late in the 18th century that citrus prevented and cured scurvy. Demand was so great in fact that some researchers partly credit the citrus trade with creating the Sicilian mafia.2 A letter from the Bank of Commerce in New York discusses credit and lastly Joseph Knowles possibly of the Massachusetts-based Thomas Knowles & Company sends an intriguing note: â€œYour favor of the 26th inst is recâ€™d For the intimations therein contained I cannot feel too highly flattered â€” Trusting that the above Jacob Little Coâ€™s check on Messrs Gilbert & Sons for Three hundred eighty nine dollars $389 may remove all scruples â€“ I would request that the shoes be shipped in good order by first sailing packet for New Yorkâ€. October 27 1840 This is plausibly related to the investor and stock speculator Jacob Little 1794â€“1865 known for his short-selling tactics and generally considered as Knowles suggests unscrupulous.3 Of interest to researchers of mercantile history in the northeast and steamboat mail. 1 Mr. and Mrs. M.

竹内製造火災保険盗難防御金庫価格表. Takenouchi seizō kasai hoken tōnan bogyo kinko kakakuhyō. Fire & Burglar-Resisting Safes Catalogue. Manufactured by Z. Takenouichi.

1893171903Z. Takenouchi. 明治 26 1893. Striking black and white wood engraved illustrations 32pp 26.6 x 19.5cm very good copy. This is a fascinating catalogue of Takenouchi Safes from 1893 with detailed illustrations specifications and prices. Takenouchi was the first safe manufacturer in Japan and the business was very successful numbering the Royal Household and major companies amongst their clients. The idea of the business started soon after Yokohama was opened as a trading port. The founder's father an iron monger was asked to repair a British businessman's safe after it was damaged by fire. He learned how effective the safe was in protecting its contents from the fire. Since fires were frequent and hazardous in Japan his son Zenjiro Takenouchi founded the business to produce fireproof safes in Japan. The company obtained numerous patents and had the reputation for safes that were extremely robust and difficult to break-in. This reputation still survives today. The catalogue includes beautiful engravings of the company's shopfront factory and trademarks and of numerous versions of its safes. These show the thick steel doors which were elegantly decorated with distinctively Japanese designs including images of pine trees. The inner drawers of the safes were made of paulonia wood which protects the contents from humidity. The brochure gives specifications and prices weighing scales also illustrated details of the effectiveness of safes letters of appreciation from clients who managed to rescue their valuables from fire hazards and a list of businesses who used their safes. The clients included Mitsui Trading Company branches in China and India and Kanematsu in Sydney. . Z. Takenouchi. unknown

[Massachusetts – New Bedford – Whaling – Maritime Trade] Various AuthorsBiblio.com

Collection of Letters Mainly to New Bedford Massachusetts Whalers I.H. Bartlett & Sons 1830s–1850s

1855List3333Massachusetts New York Maine Pennsylvania and others 1855. Fifty letters with four empty envelopes or covers. Forty-four letters addressed to I.H. Bartlett & Sons: two from the 1830s eight from the 1840s and thirty-four from the 1850s. With five letters addressed to Capt. John C. Blanchard 1838 1839 1844 and 1849 and one to Cumston & Hatch N.d. Overall excellent to Near Fine. Ivory Hovey Bartlett 1794â€“1871 was a merchant and whale oil seller based in New Bedford Massachusetts. Bartlett moved to New Bedford from Plymouth in 1819 first dealing in grain and later transitioning to general merchandise and whaling.1 Whale oil and spermaceti were widely used in lamps and as lubricant and whalebone baleen was used for structure in items like umbrellas and corsets. In the nineteenth century whaling was the basis of New Bedfordâ€™s economyâ€”supporting shipbuilding refineries toolworks and moreâ€”making it the wealthiest city in North America at the peak of the industry in the midcentury. Whaling declined in the 1860s with the rise of petroleum which could be both used as a lubricant and distilled into kerosene for lighting. Offered here is a collection of letters mainly to Bartlettâ€™s company I.H. Bartlett & Sons with five to Captain John C. Blanchard of Searsport Maine and one to Cumston & Hatch. The latter is unknown; Blanchard was in the cotton and sugar trades sailing between the US Europe and West Indies. Letters to Bartlett are mainly from other mercantile firms; they pay bills make purchases discuss oil prices and occasionally complain. For instance Robert Robinson of Portland Maine writes: â€œI have just got 4 Casks of my oil 3 of the last and 1 of the invoice of 30th ult. I cannot understand why my oil should be keep back in this way. Hyde had seven casks by yesterdays Boat the same boat which mine came by it seemâ€™s as if the fates where against this Oil as yesterday boat did not arrive untill late yesterday afternoon and this mornings boat has arrived without the balance there must be something wrong somewhere . I must say I think such neglect should be made known but perhaps it would be better to suffer for fear of the future. I shall not be able to get off any oil untill tomorrow as the oil was not out of the boat untill this morning. it is not thirteen days since that one cask left New Bedford .â€. October 13 1852 Most of Bartlettâ€™s customers buy whale oil though beef molasses and coal are also discussed but some are interested in whalebone; as are Wright Bros & Co a Philadelphian umbrella manufacturer who write to complain about market speculation: â€œThe fact appears to us that speculation and the calculation of holders put the price kept it so high that it considerably lessened consumption â€“ so much so of late that some have been disposed to slide it off below New Bedford rates very quietly.â€ October 23 1852 The letters to all parties are generally all business except for two of the five to John Blanchard: one from his wife Caroline Houston and one from fellow Searsport captain David Nickels Jr. 1823â€“1888 who writes from Bangor: â€œI see by to dayâ€™s Mercantile gazette that you are in trouble I can sympathize with you God knows I have had a good share of it since I left the land of Gospel light and liberty as the good people say in their prayers I have been in this place fifteen days you doubtless knew I was chartered by Capt Pendleton to go from Leith to Bangor for a cargo of slates and from here to Boston I sailed from Leith on the 27th of November last for this place I got as far as the Orkney Islands on the 30th of November the wind blowing heavy from the westward and having a pilot belonging to the Orkneys on board I concluded to take the harbour of Longhope and lay till a shift of wind or till it moderated . in spite of all our endeavouring we were driven on shore broke the keel out of her filled as high as the lower deck which was on the 3d of December and on the 22d of March we left the Orkney Islands after having been near four months there When I got here I found the man who was to freight the Barque from here to Boston had neglected to place funds in the hands of the slate agent of this place consequently he refuses to put slates on board of the vessel till he receives funds from Boston .â€. May 13 1849 Overall a look at the dealings of maritime merchants in the mid-nineteenth century particularly in the critical east coast whaling industry. 1 â€œDeath of a Well-Known Merchantâ€ The Standard-Times February 6 1871 2. unknown

Manuscript Affadavit Signed by John B. Sarpy Testifying to the Dispersal of the Estate of Henry Fraeb Frapp and the Difficulty of Collecting Money from Famed Mountain Man Jim Bridger

184324188St. Louis: John B. Sarpy 1843. Folio. 2 pp. 12 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches. Docketed on verso fold lines with some separation a few repaired. A manuscript affidavit written by fur magnate John Baptiste Sarpy of Pierre Chouteau & Co. that gives one a granular sense of the difficulities of running a frontier business dependent on mountain men like Jim Bridger and Frapp. A remarkable window onto the business dealings of famed mountain man Jim Bridger this signed manuscript affidavit of John B. Sarpy testifies to his actions on behalf of the estate of fellow fur trader Henry Fraeb also known as Frapp who was killed by Indians in the Rocky Mountains. Sarpy who was a partner in the major fur firm Pierre Chouteau &. Co. had worked closely with Frapp and knew him well. In his affidavit he writes about the Chouteau Company's concerns about Jim Bridger Frapp's partner at the time of his demise and the difficulty of getting Bridger to pay his debts. Written in St. Louis Sarpy's affidavit states: "On the 8th day of August last he was appointed . . . administrator of the estate of Henry Fraeb then lately deceased. Said Fraeb had been a trader in the mountains & was at the time of his death in partnership with a man of the name of James Bridger & said Bridger & Fraeb were indebted to the firm of Pierre Chouteau Jr. & Co. & it was feared by the members of said firm that unless some one became the administrator of the said Fraeb the said Bridger might interpose difficulties in the settlement of the accounts existing between them & Bridger & Fraeb & for the purpose of doing justice to themselves as well as to the said Fraeb the said Sarpy applied for letters of administration which were granted to him as above mentioned. The said Bridger has however since this time been here & has settled in full the accounts existing between the firm of Pierre Chouteau Jr. & Co. & the said Bridger & Fraeb. And the said Sarpy says that no property has come into his hands as the administrator of the said Fraeb although it may be that the said Fraeb has property in the mountain country or in the hands of James Bridger his former partner." Though he may have been one of the greatest and most beloved mountain men of all time Jim Bridger was not the best debtor in the world nor did Pierre Chouteau & Co. forget business. John B. Sarpy unknown
