19257016Milwaukee: the company 1925. Trade catalogue bound with three brass fasteners 28 x 22.5 cm. forty-two original color-printed cellophane or polyethylene food wrappers mostly for meat bacon or sausage or candy products. Brand names and designs vary greatly. Some of the samples bare the Milprint Protecto-Pack or Millprint Econo-Wrap slug. "Milprint Inc. was founded by the brothers Max T. "Popsy" Heller and William "Billy" Heller as the Milwaukee Printing Company in 1899. Beginning in 1908 they succeeded in developing printing techniques for flexible media used in commercial packaging at first glassine paper and then cellophane foil and polyethylene. The Heller brothers were able to get in at the beginnings of the mass marketing of consumer goods when individually sealed wrappings implied safety and purity. Their paper wrappings practically made the individual nickel candy bar possible and the firm dominated the candy wrapper market at an early date. Its in-house artists and designers advised clients on the most effective way to package their products. The Heller brothers also developed "Trans-Vision" a means of depicting complex objects in peel-away layers on transparent film whose most common use was probably depicting the anatomy of the human body in textbooks. William Heller sold Milprint to Philip Morris Incorporated in 1957" Hagley Museum Finding aid for the Leonard Walton collection of Milprint materials. Some leaves at the rear show signs that some samples were removed and some adhesive corner marks to leaves otherwise in remarkable condition for a collection of cellophane meat and candy wrappers with all samples bright and clean.

1796WRCAM54712Mostly at sea from New York with stops in Calcutta Saint Helena Ascension Island and Cornwall England 1796. 246pp. Square folio. Original crude burlap covers stab-sewn with thick string. A bit toned and foxed occasional ink or tobacco burns. Very good. A remarkable artifact of early American naval commerce containing the sailing directions and shipboard activities of the "Ship Washington of Philadelphia" which sailed from New York to Calcutta rounding the southern tip of Africa and visiting Saint Helena and Ascension Island before crashing on the rocks at Cornwall England on the way to Hamburg Germany. The log contains a navigational ledger with locations headings wind and weather remarks along with occasional sick lists names of men "unfit for duty" those put on light duty temperatures and other information. The remarks are quite detailed and specific regarding shipboard work and activity. <br> <br> The captain of this final voyage of the ship WASHINGTON was Samuel Hubbart but the identity of the sailor who kept this log is unknown. The ship departed New York on July 4 1795 and reached Calcutta on August 31. Without the need for recording navigational data while in port the log's author switches from the ledger-style format and writes longer more-detailed daily entries describing the crew's activities. The crewmen mentioned include pilots boatswains carpenters coopers caulkers sailmakers and others. Most of the entries pertain to the maintenance of the ship while anchored in the bay. Numerous mentions are made of crew on board fixing various equipment including types and amounts of supplies. A few entries note the employment of Indian "Cooleys" on board the ship making various repairs. An interesting incident of September 17 bears relating: <br> <br> "Hearing a noise upon the main Deck Mr. Naylor went to see what was the matter - upon engaging found Abraham Moor had struck Thomas Williams the Cook as Moor said for wanting to trouble a girl which Moor had on board - Mr. Naylor told him he should not ill use that man for he had every reason to believe it to be false what he alledged against the Cook. Moor said he did not come here to be jawd by a black Man.S." <br> <br> After swearing he would "never go home" on the WASHINGTON Moor literally jumped ship just after this confrontation and hid on another ship before being found and brought back to the WASHINGTON "in irons." <br> <br> In early November a few entries mention the ship receiving a supply of sugar taking on "Three Burr Load of Sugar" on November 7 and two more "Burr Load" two days later. Subsequent entries detail the loading of several "Burr Load of Bales" and "one hundred bags of ginger." <br> <br> Over the course of the ship's time at Calcutta the author mentions encounters with at least four other American ships: the GANGES the HAMILTON the MAJOR PINKNEY of Charleston and the "American Ship Camilla of New York arriv'd here from London." <br> <br> By early February the WASHINGTON left Calcutta for the voyage to Hamburg spelled variously here as "Hamborough" and "Hamburgh" though the ship would never make it to Germany. On March 15 and again on April 6 the recordist notes an inventory of the ship's water supply. By March 23 the ship reaches a point "prependicular on Cape Lagulas Bank" the southernmost point of Africa. About a week later the punishment of a drunken sailor is reported: <br> <br> "Joseph Gonrabbysp who has for some time past been addicted to Drunkeness and no person on board having given him any liquor he was discovered this morning to have taken from the Ships stores about half a Gallon of rum and from his being frequently very drunk there is no doubt of his having been Guilty of the same offence before for which Capt. Hubbart is necessitated to order his Boatswain to flog him. Accordingly mustered all hands aft and give him one and a half dozen lashes." <br> <br> On April 16 the WASHINGTON arrived at the remote island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean sending "the Boat on shore with an Officer to the Governor for permission to Anchor." Here the WASHINGTON restocked supplies including water potatoes & other vegetables rice and bread before embarking for Ascension Island which they reached on April 25. The author remarks on the "number of remarkable rocks like pyramids" and "a low point of black Rocks with a fine white sandy beach back of it" witnessed at Ascension Island. The WASHINGTON spent one night at Ascension where a group of men went ashore in order to "spend the Night in Catching Turtle in the different Bays." The crewmen caught twelve turtles and brought them aboard ship before continuing their journey. <br> <br> While heading north to Europe the WASHINGTON was boarded on May 17 by the "Quebec British Frigate Cap J Cook in Company with the Carnatic 74 Rear Admr Powel with a convoy of 21 sail of Transports & Gun boats with 10000 Troops on board bound for Martinico Martinique." On June 7 they again encounter another ship "a Spaniard from some port in South America bound for Cadiz out 3 months & 10 days - we cannot understand rightly what port she was from." <br> <br> Then on June 18 disaster struck the WASHINGTON as it ran aground at the Lizard Rocks off Cornwall England. The log book records the ship's demise: <br> <br> "The weather still very thick and hazy. At 9PM hearing the Surf break on shore took in all the studding sails Braced the Yards sharp and hauled to the Southward finding ourselves in amongst the Rocks off the Lizard have all aback and endeavored to get her out from among them but the Flood tide making very strong drove the Ship so hard upon the Rocks that with every endeavour we found it impracticable to get her off she having settled on them & the strength of the tide Thumping her very hard upon the Rocks sounded the Pump and found she made water very fast. Fired several Guns as a signal of Distress which brought several boats off from the Shore to our assistance." <br> <br> For the next couple of weeks the crew of the WASHINGTON participated in "discharging the cargo" from the ship so that it is not "plundered by the natives" sending everything to Falmouth "where the Goods are deposited under the protection of a Custom house Yaught." The log book mentions one crewman of the WASHINGTON "threatening revenge on Captain Hubbart." Another crewman is put "under a Guard of Soldiers" after selling off some of the muslin stored in the bales rescued from the wreck. Here the ship's log ends along with the career of the Ship WASHINGTON. <br> <br> A unique record of the last voyage of an early American trading vessel with insight into late 18th-century navigational methods and the commercial interests of Federal-era America. unknown books

3384Paris: Imprimerie et Librairie Administratives de Paul Dupont 1858. . Small folio late 19th century marbled boards cloth spine slightly abraded; original blue printed wrappers bound in; blindstamp of the Boston Public Library on the first page; unopened. The July 1858 issue of "Annales du Commerce Exterieur". The immediate cause of the 1857 panic was the failure of the New York branch of the Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Co. a major financial force that collapsed following widespread embezzlement. Others causes included the removal of funds from U.S. banks by British investors which raised questions about the overall U.S. economy. The fall of grain prices which spread economic misery into rural areas. The collapse of land speculation programs that depended on new rail routes ruining thousands of investors. Investor confidence was further shaken in mid-September when 30000 pounds of gold were lost at sea in a shipment from the San Francisco Mint to eastern banks. The gold and SS Central America sank during the North Carolina Hurricane of 1857. Public confidence in the government's ability to back its paper currency with specie was shaken as well. Eventually the panic and depression spread to Europe South America and the Far East. No recovery was evident in the United States for a year and a half and the full impact did not dissipate until the Civil War. The South was hurt less than the other regions of the country and many there concluded that the superiority of their economic system had been vindicated this has been posited as a contributing factor to the secession of many of the Southern States resulting in the Civil War. Pages 57-62 outline the trade between France and the United States during the years 1856-1857 with a retrospective look at past trade.
