Somewhat scarce brush catalogue from the 1870s. Whiting started making brushes in the 1850s and by 1868 he had a stand-alone brush business that included other family members.

réf. 20321Cheadle Hulme Paris Church Manchester . 29 October 1948. Carpenter who was knighted in 1951 'For services as President Manchester Chamber of Commerce' was a leading Manchester industrialist and banker. Among the numerous positions listed in his entry in Who Was Who he was for 40 years the chairman and managing director of the Manchester cotton manufacturers Greg Brothers & Co. and for 21 years a director of Williams Deacon's Bank serving as chairman for 12 years a leading member of the Cotton and Rayon Merchants' Association the Association of British Chambers of Commerce and the International Chamber of Commerce. 17pp. landscape 12mo paginated 1 1A 2-17. On seventeen leaves punched in corner and attached with metal-tipped tie to grey card covers on which the title and other details are printed. Carpenter begins by explaining that 'Mr. Lockhart the Headmaster of my old school invited me to give the address at the Founders' Day Service' and explains that he is going to begin the address 'on a rather personal note' giving the biblical quotation which he will take as his text. He continues: 'My father passed away when I was about eight years of age and I have therefore few very vivid recollections of his influences upon me but amongst them is one of being taken to what was then a country walk from Heaton Mersey to Didsbury Parish Church for service on Sunday mornings.' After a reference to his mother he continues: 'It is nearly 37 years since at the age of 15 I completed five years of boarding-school days at Cheadle Hulme and became a very young “Old Boy.”' He continues for a while with a discussion of the school's influence on him it having 'led' him to 'the firm Greg Brothers with which I have been privileged to spend the whole of my business life' and also having 'fitted' him 'to enter upon voluntary work in the Chamber of Commerce and other organisations in the commercial field. That has led to my being honoured and entrusted with the presidency of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce and incidentally to my presence in this pulpit this morning.' He turns to the need for voluntary work and 'Service before Need' 'pride in our work' 'our standards of honesty' and the 'desperate need of leadership' in the world. The address ends with a pious exhortation. Scarce: no other copy traced either on OCLC WorldCat or on COPAC. Cheadle Hulme Paris Church [ Manchester ]. 29 October 1948. unknown

Founder of the First Free Labour Registry in England.' The text begins: 'A National Labour Bureau with Affiliated Labour Registries Is one of the pressing needs of the time. Therefore at the desire of two or three gentlemen who are greatly interested in the question I having given considerable attention to the matter venture to express my views thereon and at the same time to incorporate in a pamphlet the evidence I gave upon the subject before the Royal Commission on Labour in December last. In the views herein expressed I do not claim any special originality as they are very much the result of conference and correspondence with a number of representative men. My part has been first the initiation of the proposal to bring the subject under the notice of the Royal Commission; and secondly the formulation of a definite scheme.' What follows is divided into sections: 'Statement before Commission' 'Examination by Members of Commission' 'National Bureau' 'Cost of Scheme' 'Periodic Report' 'Employment of Post Offices' 'Private Registries' 'Importance of Prompt Action'. The final page is headed: 'Outline of Proposed Scheme.' This begins: 'A National Labour Bureau being an extension of the Labour Department of the Board of Trade or a separate department in affiliation with the Factory Inspectors' Department and with the Emigrations' Information Department in connection with which it should be vested with special powers for dealing with the questions of emigrations. The objects of this Bureau would be first to obtain and disseminate information on labour questions and general statistics of employment and secondly to act as a clearing house for the District Labour Bureaus.'

1925réf. 5916Cleveland: Interstate School of Commerce 1925. Folded brochure. Very good . One folded brochure which unfolds to the size of a poster about 3.75" x 9" folded; 15" x 27" unfolded. In very good or better condition with old folds and trivial foxing at the fore-edge of the front wrap. Fantastic ephemeral document which promotes the Interstate School of Commerce a kind of private vocational school. When fully unfolded a collage of more than 100 recent graduates appears superimposed on the buildig that houses the school. Most interestingly the school is co-educational and seems to make very little distinction between its male and female students. At the first stage of unfolding the following is printed: "The Field of Woman's Endeavor is an Ever Widening One." This brochure was meant to be mailed although this example never was. There are no separate listings for this document in OCLC and we presume it to be scarce. Interstate School of Commerce unknown
