    INDUSTRIES AND WEALTH OF THE PRINCIPAL POINTS IN SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA (EXCEPTING PHILADELPHIA) EMBRACING DAUPHIN, YORK, LANCASTER, SCHUYLKILL, BERKS BUCKS, MONTGOMERY, CHESTER AND DELAWARE COUNTIES 1890 Published by American Publishing and Engraving Co. No. 102 CHAMBERS STREET, NEW YORK INDUSTRIES OF WEALTH OF CHESTER As the spot where William Penn first set foot on American soil, Chester is more or less enshrouded by a species of historic halo, but it is what Chester has achieved since that bygone period which forms the theme of this brief sketch, and that she has enjoyed uninterrupted prosperity during the two centuries and more since she was founded is beyond the peradventure of a doubt. It is on the industrial Chester of today that we wish to dilate, to point out her splendid opportunities for manufacturing enterprise, to depict the commercial status she now holds among the business centers of the Union, and to comment upon her affairs municipal, educational, religious and social in this year of Grace, 1890. Today her business men do not know what dull seasons are; today her manufacturers always have orders enough to keep their shops humming with the ceaseless movement of industry. Little did the venerable William Penn and his followers dream that the log huts they were to build on the site of the commercial Chester of today held the germ of a highly industrious center, with its factories and blocks, its steam and horse railways, its electric lights, its telegraph and telephone, its fire department and water works, the very invention of which had not even been imagined in their wildest flights of fancy.

The Radium Dial Painters: Workers’ Rights, Scientific Testing, and the Fight for Humane Treatment Elizabeth Richter An Honors Thesis Submitted for partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with honors in History from Hamline University April 28, 2018 Abstract From the early 1910s through the Great Depression, the dial painting industry provided opportune jobs for young female workers. Dial painting jobs did not require many skills but were well-paying professions. These careers attracted many young women and girls to work there. However, unknown to the painters at the time, the radium that they were using to paint the dial faces was slowly poisoning them and would later cause major health defects. Many of these women that did not die directly from the radium developed various forms of cancer and radium poisoning, which led to many lawsuits.

  • The Great Depression As Seen in the Pages of the Daily Record January—April 1934
    The Great Depression as seen in the pages of the Daily Record January—April 1934 “MADISON —Evidence that the depression is on its way out is contained in a review of the events of 1933 in Madison. Chief reason for this heartening observation in the borough has been the work on the new $400,000 Hartley Dodge Memorial Municipal Building which has risen on the plot on Kings road during the past year and has given employment to the majority of the borough’s jobless men. Further evidence is contained in the records of the Mayor’s Emergency Employment Committee, now in its fourth year. These records show a sharp decline in the number of unemployed persons and at present, thanks to employment on CWA projects, it is not necessary to render relief to a single borough indigent family….The borough tax rate dropped to 3.85, the lowest it has been in over 15 years, during 1933, because of decreases in the expenditures of the county, local and school governing bodies.” (Jan. 2, 1934, p.5) “WASHINGTON, (AP)—President Roosevelt called upon Congress today for a rigid continuation of the recovery campaign….His most determined words were reserved for unnamed tax dodgers and persons guilty of “unethical or criminal” financial practices which the President said call “for stringent preventive or regulatory measures.” “ (Jan. 3, 1934, p.1) “DOVER —Announcement was made here yesterday by Commander Samuel Chiles, Director of Unemployment Relief and CWA projects that at the present time 193 men were at work and that eighteen more were placed at work this morning, bringing the total to 211 the greatest thus far given employment on the permanent improvements.

  • Ophir Farm History R5
    Ophir Farm and Manhattanville College Dear Visitor: Manhattanville and the Purchase Environmental Protective Association (PEPA) worked together to preserve Ophir Farm Estate's historic structures and cultural landscape, much of it co-located on the college campus, and created this book to celebrate the land's rich history. Dating back to the 17th century, the story of Ophir Farm combines just the right mix of historical truth and local legend, and serves as a worthy heritage for Manhattanville College, now on the same site. The book provides a glimpse into the history, landscaping and architecture of both and is designed to make the buildings and scenery come alive. The Ophir Farm estate was once one of the nation’s most prominent model farms, an art form and hobby pursued by affluent farmers in the 1800's. Today, it includes a rich sampling from artisans who have worked on New York City’s Central Park, the White House, the Capitol, the campuses of Harvard and Columbia, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and Lincoln Center. Our guide has been created, in part, to celebrate and preserve these treasures. Thanks to Gayl Braisted for allowing me to quote liberally from her work. She compiled many of the sources in this history for her Master’s thesis at Manhattanville. We are enthusiastic about the efforts to preserve Ophir Farm and hope you will read this beautiful book to learn more about it.

Brewer Professor of Geography Head of the Department *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT In 1883, the U.S. Navy was in a dilapidated state, but in twenty-four years, it would circumnavigate the globe to great fanfare. For the first twenty years of this naval rebuilding program, dubbed the New Navy, the United States relied overwhelmingly on private firms in the Greater Delaware region. Modern public contracts came into being with the Civil War, but New Navy contracts tested the public-private relationships in peacetime as never before. Fleets could no longer expand and shrink because of bellicose exigencies; they had to be ready always. The relational and legalistic frameworks the New Navy established laid the groundwork for modern- day military contracting, which now transacts $455 million worth of contracts every day.
