Tall folio. 320 x 200 mm. 13 x 8 inches.Â 85 pp. Contemporary marbled boards calf spine; head of spine chipped and a bit torn; text block foxed.Â With faults a sound and well-organized ledger written in a legible hand. Early shoemaker's account book from Lisbon Androscoggin County Maine. William Booker 1812-1881 lived with his second wife Martha and several children in Lisbon which is located west of Portland. Although Booker's name does not appear on a title page we derive his name through account settlements in the book. Income and expenses are shown including cost of tanned leather from sheep and calf of various qualities and sizes leather making supplies nails etc. and income is derived from shoes manufacture and repair. Â Intermingled with the costs of doing business Booker records in detail the costs of living in the town of Lisbon.Â His ledger is a veritable roadmap to the economy of the town its residents and its service businesses that he supplied and which in turn supplied his family.Â Some of the larger customer accounts are Lyman Jordan of Brunswick Ebenezer Combs of Lisbon Ammi Merrill Henry I. Holland Hale Huskey Josiah Fransworth James M. Brickett Jackson Webber and Joshua Remington. Â 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. 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

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.
