This book was released on 2018-08-25 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1800, shoes in the United States were made by craftsmen, each trained to create an entire shoe. A century later, shoes were mass-produced in factories employing dozens of machines and specialized workers. Ross Thomson describes this transition from craft to mechanized production in one of the largest American industries of the nineteenth century. Early shoe machinery originated through innovations made by shoemakers, tailors, and especially machinists. It continued to evolve through a process of "learning by selling," in which sales of one generation of machines led to technological learning and ongoing invention by those who used, serviced, and sold them. As a result of this process, the mechanization of the shoe industry and the manufacturers of the machinery it used -- including such firms as Singer and United Shoe Machinery -- evolved together. In researching the process of industrialization, Thomson examined nearly 8,000 patents. Comparing the patent information with directories for more than eighty American cities, he was able to find out who the inventors were, who employed them, how many patents they held, and the extent to which their inventions were used.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Shoe Machinery Company is an industrial organization; a consolidation derived from the combination of smaller companies. Its object in existing is the manufacture of machinery used exclusively for the manufacturing of boots and shoes, in such a manner that profits will be derived for the stockholders from the sale of such machinery. This company holds a unique place in the industrial world of the united States. Probably no other organization has such a direct control over its customers as has the United Shoe Machinery Company. Also probably no other organization has exhibited such a monopolistic nature as has been the defendant in a suit brought about by the United States government, but, up to the present time, the government, through the federal trade commission and special investigation, has found no basis for action. The claim of the government that the United Shoe Machinery Company is a corporation created for the purpose of monopoly and restraint of trade, which would be exceedingly remunerative to a few, does not seem to rest upon any sure foundation. The growth of this company has been remarkable and indications point toward a still greater growth and expansion. Having somewhat of a monopoly upon the manufacture of shoe machinery, the future growth of such a company would in no way be limited, it would seem. The main factory and actual center of its manufacturing department is located at Beverly, Massachusetts, and all administration originates in the main office at Boston.
