Language of the English . Material: Abstract: Joseph Bancroft, an Englishman trained in textile weaving in Lancashire, established his own cotton mill on the Brandywine near Wilmington, Delaware in 1831. This operation became the Joseph Bancroft & Sons Company in 1889, and in 1929 it absorbed the Eddystone Manufacturing Co. These images include plant exteriors and interiors, officials and employees, aerials, workers' housing, machinery, floods, and dams and races on Brandywine Creek as well as many Ban-Lon and Miss America fashion photographs. This collection includes approximately 1060 images covering a period from the late 19th century to the 1960s. ^ Return to Table of Contents Historical Note Joseph Bancroft & Sons Company manufactured, bleached, dyed, and finished a variety cotton-made goods. After World War I it added synthetics to its production, and these included rayon and nylon fabrics. The company was incorporated in 1889. The companies namesake, Joseph Bancroft (1803-1874) began manufacturing cotton cloth at a small mill in Rockford, Delaware, just north of Wilmington, on March 25, 1831. The mill was built in order to take advantage of the Brandywine River's water power and Bancroft adopted the traditional British spinning and weaving technology for use in his operation. The firm expanded steadily during the 1830s and 1840s as it began to produce cotton for both the Philadelphia and New York markets. In the late 1840s, Joseph - Page 3- Joseph Bancroft and Sons Company, Miss America collection 1972.430 Bancroft brought his two sons, William and Samuel, into the business assuring that the company would remain a family enterprise. During the Civil War, when the American market was largely closed to English imports, the Bancroft firm, like most other U.S. textile companies, prospered. After the war, the company developed a new bleaching process and began to concentrate on finishing cotton cloth. In 1929, the Bancroft Company merged with the Eddystone Manufacturing Company. In the mid-1930s it began producing a line of rayon goods and a cotton finishing process that were marketed under the trade names of "Ban-Lon" and "Everglaze" respectively. The Banlon and Everglaze processes were widely licensed in Europe and America and by the early 1950s foreign royalties accounted for more than seventy per cent of the firm's total profits. In an effort to promote Everglaze, Bancroft became a primary sponsor of the Miss America Pageant from the mid-1940s through the late 1960s. The company helped finance the pageant and provided money towards scholarships awarded to pageant winners. Bancroft was able to promote its products using the image of Miss America. In 1961, the Bancroft Company became a division of Indian Head Mills, Inc., of New York City. The Rockford factory closed in 1981. ^ Return to Table of Contents Scope and Content The collection consists of general advertising and product information for "Ban-Lon" and "Everglaze" fashions. In particular, the collection documents the Joseph Bancroft & Sons Company's sponsorship of the Miss America Pageant and the promotion of fabrics by Miss America from the years 1953 to 1967. A majority of the photographs show Miss America modeling her official "Everglaze" and "Ban-Lon" wardrobe, although there are also fashion publicity photographs featuring other models, including those for men's and children's clothing. Other photographs include fashion shows featuring Miss America's "Everglaze" wardrobe and clothing created using McCall's patterns in fabrics by Everfast; displays of fashions and fabrics in department stores; and the use of "Everglaze" and "Ban- Lon" fabrics for household furnishings such as draperies, upholstery, and bedding. Many photographs and advertising materials document the "Miss America/Modern Bride/Ban-Lon Lace Dream Wedding" promotion, including wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, and lingerie by makers such as Priscilla of Boston, Alfred Angelo, and Lily of France, particularly for the years 1960 and 1961. The collection also includes numerous fabric swatches, some in sample books, others attached to related photographs. Other miscellaneous items in the collection include paper dolls of various Miss Americas

Could there be painting without paint? Oropallo answered with a resounding yes. Pioneering new techniques, she created a hybrid form whose look owed little or nothing to photographers and graphic designers, the technology's early adopters. For the record: Oropallo has never gone all the way digital. Heroine, her latest series, includes plenty of actual brush strokes. She applies them to soft-porn photos culled from the Internet, which she electronically transforms into fantastical, dangerous protagonists. Like those in prior series, which featured costumed, bandaged women modeling gas masks and scantily clad rodeo queens gyrating like transparent sex ghosts, the source images for this body of work are repurposed to accommodate Oropallo’s interest in placing female superheroes in post-feminist stances – flaunting their sex appeal and their power. What's diferent this time around is that some of them become victims of the sort that fairy tales warn little girls against. As in all such stories, the real subject is power, and in this series, where the subjects are female fencers, it cuts in several directions. While some of Oropallo's characters stand defiantly and strike contemplative or come-hither poses, others lay sprawled on the ground as if mortally wounded.

    In 1925, eight actors were dedicated to a dream. Expatriated from their Broadway haunts by constant film commitments, they wanted to form a club here in Hollywood; a private place of rendezvous, where they could fraternize at any time. Their first organizational powwow was held at the home of Robert Edeson on April 19th. ”This shall be a theatrical club of love, loy- alty, and laughter!” finalized Edeson.

  • Thomas Bancroft of Dedham and Reading, Massachusetts and Some
    1940] Thomas Bancroft and Some of His Descendants 215 THOMAS BANCROFT OF DEDHAM AND READING, MASS., AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS Contributed by JOHN KERMOTT ALLEN, of Boston, Mass. 1. THOMAS BANCROFT, of Dedham and Reading, Mass., a native of England,* born about 1625,t died at Lynn, Mass., 19 Aug. 1691.t He married first at Dedham, 31: 1 mo. 1647, ALICE BACON, who died 29: 1 mo. 1648, daughter of Michael Bacon;§ and secondly, at Dedham, 15: 7 mo. 1648, ELIZABETH METCALF, baptized at St. Benedict's, Norwich, England, 20 Sept. 1626, died at Reading 11 May 1711, aged 85 years, daughter of Michael and Sarah (Ellwyn) Metcalf. (See REGISTER, vol. 6, pp. 171-173; vol. 78, p. 64.) The exact date of Thomas Bancroft's arrival in the Massachusetts Bay Colony is unknown. He may have come with his brother John Bancroft in 1632. He was made fatherless in England in 1627, but as his stepmother lived until 1639, it is probable that he remained in England rather than, when but ten years old, make the migration to America with his brother. The death of his stepmother in 1639 in England would have left him free to follow his relatives to America in 1640. In his "History of Lynn" Newhall includes "Lieut. Thomas Bancroft" among the newcomers in 1640. Thomas Bancroft, the subject of this article, was then but eighteen years old and could scarcely be correctly described as "lieutenant." However, he ac­ quired this title later, and was thereafter always r-eferred to as "Lieutenant Thomas Bancroft" or as "Ensign," so it is probable that he did come to Lynn among the newcomers in 1640.
