Ledger. Shoe Industry. Robison John M.ABAA

Pennsylvania Shoemaker's Ledger 1835-51

1851859Bellefonte PA 1851. Large 4to. Â 305 x 200 mm.Â 12 Â¼ x 8 inches.Â 170 pp. Well used manuscript written in ink.Â Contemporary calf backed boards; rubbed and a bit worn spine chipped. This is a ledger account book belonging to John Robison a Pennsylvania shoemaker. Like many artisans in Nineteenth century America Robison found income not only in his trade but also through other sources. Robison farmed the land he lived on selling products such as grain wheat and potatoes. Robison also ran a general store providing neighbors with commodities such as butter flour wool salt and vinegar. Shoemaking however proved to be Robison's most lucrative form of income and there are accounts for heeling. mending "half soaling" and "soaling." The exact location of Robison's business is difficult to determine although two Pennsylvania towns Bellefonte and Elk Township are both mentioned in the book. Most of the entries are ledger lines naming a customer the service provided or item sold to them and the amount received. In some cases the ledger details wages Robison paid to laborers hired to work his fields who provided services such as plowing and mowing hay. It also seems that Robison occasionally let a spare room in his house to boarders charging two dollars per week. The most interesting entries do not deal with Robison's business transactions. On one page a "spiritual song" is transcribed. On the facing page is a "cure for the splint" a malady effecting horses. The following page recounts an adventure of Robison in Elk Township in which he assisted a "subscriber" in catching a five year old mare that had escaped his property. This ledger is a very interesting record of the daily activities of a craftsman in a rural nineteenth century town. It provides a unique look into the means by which such people made their living as well as the workings of rural Pennsylvania markets. Â . unknown books

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
