1867009296Bristol County Massachusetts: Barstow Stove Company 1867. Unbound. Very good. This partially printed two-year indenture measures 8.5" by 14". It is dated and signed twice: first on the "sixteenth day of November A.D. eighteen hundred and Sixty-Six" and again in January of 1867. A 25-cent revenue "Insurance" stamp Scott #46 has been affixed and cancelled with multiple strikes of a circular Bartow Stove Company handstamps. The document is in nice shape with splits starting along its storage folds. In this document the stove company agrees to pay Roach "Four Shilling & sixpence" per day for his first year of service and "Five Shillings and sixpence" per day during his second. In return Roach guarantees that if he leaves his job before two years have expired he will pay the company "the full and just sum of One Hundred Dollars."<br /><br />It seems odd that 74 years after Congress declared the dollar to be the official currency of the United States a company would pay employee wages calculated in shillings and pence. Yet the Bulletin of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics pages 18-19 No. 604 October 1929 reported that "In the payrolls of some New England companies time and piece rates were given in shillings . . . up to 1845 and probably longer although the actual money payment in all cases would have been in American dollars." A very late and uncommon use of British currency by an American manufacturer to calculate the wages of an Iron Founder. <br /><br /> Barstow Stove Company books
1938BOOKS003822146 pages with diagrams tables and 8 plates of the participants. Octavo 8 7/8" x 6". bound in original publisher's quarter black cloth with red boards with a black and white pictorial cover. signed by Max Euwe Dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the Max Euwe Chess Club of Amsterdam tipped on front paste down. Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana: 5574 First edition.<br /><br />The A.V.R.O. 1938 was a double-round tournament held in November 1938 under the sponsorship of the Dutch wireless company Algemene Verenigde Radio Omroep. The participants Alekhine Botvinnik Capablanca Euwe Fine Flohr Keres and Reshevsky included the reigning World Champion and all his potential challengers. The sponsors intended the event to be regarded as an unofficial Candidates tournament and the winner or the runner-up in the case of a victory by Alekhine was promised financial backing for a World Championship match. For a tournament of such importance the playing conditions were appalling. The players traveled through Holland ten venues in different towns were used and on playing days the competitors were often forced to miss dinner. These circumstances naturally favored the younger grandmasters at the expense of Alekhine and Capablanca. The final scores were: Keres and Fine 8 1/2 Botvinnik 7 1/2 Alekhine Reshevsky and Euwe 7 Capablanca 6 Flohr 4 1/2. The tie for first place was broken in favor of Keres who had the superior Sonneborn-Berger rating. The projected match between Alekhine and Keres did not take place since Alekhine had already contracted to defend his title first against Flohr who was the official FIDE World Championship challenger. Alekhine did promise to play a subsequent match against Keres if he retained the title but the start of the Second World War terminated all negations. One of the best possibly the best of the tournament was Bottvinnik's game v Capablanca Golombek: p20.<br /><br /><b>Condition</b><br /><br />Corners bumped and rubbed sunning to heal edges.
