Official Council blindstamp at the bottom right corner. Very Good. <br/><br/> The Sovereigns of Industry established in 1874 grew out of the Patrons of Husbandry a mutual aid society for farmers. The Sovereigns sought members among all workingmen not just farmers. Its purpose articulated by its founder William H. Earle of Massachusetts was "elevating the character improving the condition of and as far as possible perfecting the happiness of the laboring classes" through the establishment of consumer cooperatives. The cooperative network would allow workers to "control the whole of what they produce and exchange it as near as may be even with other hand-workers thus saving to themselves the fortunes which those who are devoted to manipulating other people's labour and to getting rich thereby have heretofore taken by extortion."

Brickett Jackson Webber and Joshua Remington.  The last few pages of the book show an account for "letting of Horse" Hackett & Webber as well as a total of shoes made from "3rd March 1842"; 1 025 pairs.</p><br /> With fertile and easily cultivated soil farming was an early industry in the small town of Lisbon. Sawmills and gristmills were built using water power from the streams. Larger brick mills followed to manufacture textiles. In 1864 the Worumbo Mill was established to produce woolens and would remain a principal employer until it burned in 1987. By 1880 Booker had changed his profession to stone mason perhaps signifying the phasing out of the handmade shoe industry. unknown books
