Ledger. Shoe IndustryABAA

Accounts of E.C. Kinnear Shoe Manufacturer

1866854Dover New Hampshire 1866. Tall folio. 340 x 215 mm. 13 Â¾ x 8 Â½ inches. 106 pp. Lined numbered pages. Text in very legible hand.Â Leather spine over marbled board covers. Spine rubbed some wear to the marbled paper covering; otherwise very good condition.Â Legible ink. Fine ledger of the nineteenth century shoe industry in New Hampshire particularly Farmington and Dover. The first leaves of the ledge record expense for machines purchased tools and supplies such as uppers lasts blacking nails brushes paste and stiffenings suggesting the opening or reopening of a business six months after the end of the Civil War.Â Dozens of employees are named and a typical worker James B. Edgley received thirteen dollars for six days work in 1865 averaging about $2.50 per day. Prior to the mid-19th century and the advent of shoemaking machinery shoes and boots were handmade by local cordwainers. Subdivision of labor inherent in a factory system was introduced in these small shops with one man occupied in cutting another stitching and another attaching the sole. It was also common for larger shops to prepare the leather stock that was then sent out to local cordwainers or smaller shops to be assembled into the finished shoe. It is believed that the first shoe "factory" of this type in New Hampshire was established in Weare in 1823 followed by those in Farmington 1835 Rochester 1843 then Dover 1847. By 1859 there were six boot/shoe manufacturers listed in the Dover city directory. During the Civil War many companies had to stop production but advances in shoemaking machinery post war allowed for major expansion of the shoemaking industry in Dover and elsewhere. The number of boot and shoe manufacturers in Dover remained fairly steady in the 1860s and 1870s with about a half dozen active factories at any one time. It was not uncommon for two competing shoe manufacturers to share the same building. By 1874 there were eight boot/shoe manufacturers operating in Dover. Elvin C. Kinnear was born in New Castle Rockingham New Hampshire in 1827 of William and Mary Martin Kinnear. He married Catherine M. Curtis and they had at least four children. Kinnear was one of the largest manufacturers in Farmington New Hampshire for a number of years. He continued for some ten or twelve years when he moved to Dover and continued the manufacture until 1880 when he moved to Rockland Massachusetts. Moving again sometime after 1880 Kinnear died in Fargo North Dakota in 1904. He was listed as a "merchant" at that time.. unknown books

Faint toning to the title page otherwise contents remain near-uniformly without blemish and with firm sound binding. A most lovely and unique period offering from the Holy Land. Rare to be offered in commerce in this edition and state. This edition unrecorded in WorldCat however nominally corresponds to OCLC #753636624 with notable differences in pagination and the number of specimens. See also OCLC #698494522. Rare indeed. ¶ Title leaf cites Biblical verse Matt. VI 28 29 30 which reads in part: "28 Why are you anxious about clothes Learn from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work or spin. 29 But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them. 30 If God so clothes the grass of the field which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow will he not much more provide for you O you of little faith" Although no author nor compiler is given within the present offering corresponds to other similar such works attributed to German missionary and cabinet-maker Ferdinand Vester see references above who had moved to Jerusalem in 1853 to join the Swiss-German Mission. Accordingly the present work may have been the result of his collaboration with the efforts of the London Jews' Society's' "House of Industry" an Anglican missionary society located at Christ Church Jerusalem which offered vocational training to Jewish boys in various trades such as carpentry turnery shoemaking etc. The products produced by these boys would in-turn be sold to other missionaries or as religious souvenirs to passing tourists or those migrating to the West. Vester's son Frederick would carry on his father's business later marrying Bertha Spafford herself the daughter of the founder of the American Colony in Jerusalem Horatio Gates Spafford and his Norwegian wife Anne Tobine Larsen Øglende.
