The New Home Sewing Machine" - 1921 Industrial Geography School Project by Woman Attending Boston University College of Secretarial Science

1921réf. 26003109Boston Massachusetts 1921. Fair. Toning spotting chipping and short tears. Damage to litho enclosed loosely in rear of project. A remarkable early 1920s school project completed by a 22-year old female student in Boston University's College of Secretarial Science. The student Esther R. Harrington 1899-1945 chose to focus on the history of the New Home Sewing Machine company of Orange Massachusetts as well as its current and past marketing campaigns. The project received an "A" from the instructor with glowing comments and it is easy to see why; the project exudes careful planning and many hours of work. She worked with the superintendent and others of the New Home Sewing Machine company to secure the materials. It includes: a typewritten history of the company the first page typed on old company letterhead which was a nice touch; original photographs and serial clippings; an overview of the company 's operations "today" in 1921; a detailed overview of the construction of the company's product and why it is superior to its competitors; eight 8 accomplished sewing samples; and antique marketing ephemera such as trade cards and trade catalogues. The marketing ephemera includes material advertising the company's products to French- Spanish- and Chinese-speaking customers. Her comments on one of the Chinese-language catalogues shows a shrewd eye for marketing and cultural relations for such a young woman at the time. The final item included in the project is a late 19th century chromolithographed poster depicting the company's factory in Orange measuring approx. 17.75" by 24.5". Project is 12" by 9.5" and consists of approx. 18 leaves filled with typewritten manuscript original photos and ephemera. Esther Roxcy Harrington 1899-1945 was also an amateur photographer who enjoyed taking selfies and photographs of cats. Comment from her instructor on the Industrial Report reads "This is quite a wonderful bit of work and I am returning it to you because I think you should have it! unknown books
