[OREGON & CALIFORNIA -- FURNITURE CO ARCHIVE]. HAMILTON, Clarence & BUREN, Max OBiblio.com

A noteworthy archive of over 400 documents and samples chronicling the buying preferences and habits of Oregonians at one of Salem Oregon’s largest home furnishings and art stores at the end of the Gilded Age and into the Progressive Era. Buren & Hamilton drew upon wholesalers in Portland OR Seattle New York Detroit Chicago and heavily from San Francisco & Sacramento firms just a couple years before the devastating 1906 Earthquake & Fire for wallpapers linoleum floorings oriental carpets framed photos and art mouldings bed mattresses and much more.

189356869Salem OR: Buren & Hamilton 1893-1904. 4to. 90 mylar sleeve leaves unnumbered. containing 403 invoices shipping & waybills TLS ALS TL copy letters and more many of which appear on steel-engraved letterhead many printed on colour-tinted paper often shipping and weight bills still retaining original stamps a few mailing envelopes a number of check receipts many w/ manuscript and stamped autographs others w/ corrections and/or annotations in ink or pencil; also included are actual samples of velvet fabrics wallpapers and textured colour sample papers printing sample for perforated business card. All preserved in recent 3-ring cloth binder stamping on front cover. An exceptional archive of original letters invoices waybills business cards and receipts all documenting the thriving business of Buren & Hamilton at the end of the Gilded Age and beginning of the Progressive Era in Salem Oregon in the aftermath of the 1893 economic crash. Drawing from suppliers in California just a few years before the San Francisco Earthquake & Fire the company also sourced from Seattle WA New York and Chicago. Portland was the manufacturing and industrial hub of Oregon as can be seen in these invoices and receipts: such companies as The Columbia Chair Company Dealers who sold chairs office chairs and rockers from 309-311 Front St. shipped rocking chairs and office chairs to Salem in 1903; Henry Jenning & Sons located at 172-174 First St. shipped a load of leather oak chairs in 1903; J.G. Mack & Co. located at 86 & 88 Third St. in Portland supplied velvet rugs oil cloths and lamp shades in 1903; while the A. Merle Co. and McCord & Work located on Water St. supplied brass and iron bed frames the same year. Buren & Hamilton also sourced mattresses and sacks of recycled denim cotton â€œShoddyâ€ from Peters & Roberts Furniture Co. for mattresses; and purchased often from the Portland Mattress & Upholstery Co. at 18-20 Front St. which supplied wool-combed coverings mattresses mattress tops from 1900-1904 -- their factory would be gutted by fire in 1907. Many of the items were shipped down the Willamette River on the Oregon City Transportation Co. ships with a note from 1904 indicating the company had completed a sale of odd sized mattresses to them; numerous Southern Pacific Oregon Division freight bills; as well as a shipment on the SS Oregonian via the American-Hawaiian Steamship Co. of five crates of chair seats from Marshall Field & Co.In addition it appears that Oregonians in and around Salem purchased heavily from the store luxury goods such as beveled mirrors framed artwork sleek wallpapers velvet fabrics tapestries oriental rugs and more. Many of the invoices letters waybills and documents record many items supplied by the storied W.P. Fuller & Co. of San Francisco & Sacramento CA as well as their subsidiary in Portland OR. They were main suppliers of beveled and mirrored glass on the Pacific Coast which often had to be imported from England into the U.S. and several of the orders in 1899-1901 note that the company was having issues supplying such pieces to Buren & Hamilton due to labor difficulties finally sourcing mirrors from Pilkington Bros. English Picture Glass. They occasionally canceled orders and the Fuller Co. writes in 1901 over a canceled order of â€œdeadening felt.â€ The W.P. Fuller Co. explain that â€œyour reasons for wishing to cancel your order are not considered sufficient to justify us in doing so . . . â€ and that they were aware that â€œsome of our competitors are circulating unjust and untrue reports concerning us all the time.â€ Included amongst these letters are samples of cotton backing for carpets and even three original samples of wallpaper. There are also present a number of letters and invoices from the firm of Tozer & Son which took over the W.P. Fuller Wallpaper division about 1901 with letters present making that announcement. Of additional interest are the many invoices letters and waybills back and forth with the storied Schussler Bros. on 119-121 Geary St. Star King Building in San Francisco detailing many of the popular framed and matted photographs and images for Salem shoppers. These encompassed the â€œLone Indianâ€ which were often reproductions of the iconic End of the Trail sculpture by James Earle Fraser; Athletes Dutch Windmills Shakespeare prints of assorted types and sizes Lone Arab a Chinese print a boxing series of matted â€œDeal of a Fellowâ€ Madonna Artotypes -- typically reproductions of Raphaelâ€™s Madonna and Taber art photos. Many of the letters bill heads and invoices sport steel engraved architectural vignettes documenting buildings which would be destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake & Fire as well as many of the business records for those companies. One of the freight bills bears the photographic letterhead of the Chicago & North-Western Railway Co. dated 1904. Another significant supplier was the D.N. & E. Walter & Co. of San Francisco which supplied linoleum flooring fabrics and more for Buren & Hamilton from 1899-1904 and even includes in one of the letters a piece of the red velvet fabric they no longer carried.Buren & Hamilton was originally founded in the late 1880â€™s by A.T. Yeaton as a furniture/undertaker business later sold to A.B. Buren and finally sold to Max O. Buren and Clarence Hamilton who operated at three locations along Commercial St. including Greenbaumâ€™s Building at 298 Commercial the building at 136 Commercial 340 Court St. now Sidâ€™s Furniture. Clarence bought out Max Burenâ€™s shares in 1916 becoming the C.S. Hamilton Furniture Co. and operating until it was sold to Rubensteinâ€™s in the 1960â€™s.

This amazing salesman sample photo archive for the North La Crosse Reed & Rattan Works and the La Crosse Reed Furniture Works provide an indispensable visual record of reed and rattan wicker furniture produced and sold in Wisconsin during the Arts & Crafts era. Wicker furniture experienced a tremendous rise in popularity during the last decades of the 19th century with many manufacturers producing items in Wisconsin and other Midwest States and the domestic reeds used by American manufacturers proved especially flexible and were more capable of being painted or stained while Rattan was harder to weave and could only be shellacked. The cabinet photos by Spettel and Perkins include images of high-backed fancy Victorian rockers a foot stool magazine rack sewing basket a Turkish chair a round table and several other wicker rocking chairs. Spettel 1866-1935 was brought into his brother Clement Spettelâ€™s photography studio in 1886 because his business was so popular and they would thrive in North La Crosse WI until 1906 when Aloysius moved his business to North Dakota. The business location on 806 Caledonia was established by the brothers in 1888 and was initially called the New Gallery then the National Art Studio and sometime around 1897-98 it was simply A.F. Spettel while Clement worked at 320 North 4th on the Cityâ€™s south side. Of particular interest is the â€œPerkinsâ€ Studio Cabinet photo as there is no known other example of a Perkins photographer at that location although that studio location served eight other known photographers between 1888 and 1900. The collection of factory linen-backed photographs depict a wide variety of Victorian rattan furniture including wing-back chairs & rockers stacking childrenâ€™s stools childrenâ€™s high chair rocker sewing baskets waste baskets and more. Nearly all of them have inventory numbers and prices on verso some individually priced others priced by the dozen ranging from $ 2.75 to $ 8.50. The Ford & Johnson Fiber-Rush and Malacca furniture catalogue includes a wide range of Mission-style and Arts & Crafts period furnishings including tables library tables settees rockers and more. The Art Fibre Weaving catalogue not only includes excellent photographic images of wicker furniture but also images of fibre art weaving classes schools and equipment. See: Edwin L.
