Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industries of Saint Louis: Her Relations as a Center of Trade, Manufacturing Establishments and Business Houses There is no luck of evidence of the fact that the spot upon which St. Louis now stands, and the country contiguous to it, formed the habitation, centuries ago, of races now extinct or represented only by a debased progeny, long since transplanted to other climes. The inquiry into the traits and characteristics of the Mound Builders and the measure of their advancement from barbarism, while interesting to the ethnologist or antiquarian, has no material bearing upon the history of St. Louis, which began, so far as the present has any important connection with it, one hundred and twenty-three years ago. The record of the city since then has been one of steady and sturdy growth. Originally established as a fur trading pose, and aspiring to nothing greater for nearly half a century, the town began to develop, after the American occupation, a position as an important distributive point, and to assume, as population and productiveness increased in the vicinity, the place for which she was so eminently lined by her incomparable location and the physical advantages which had been so bountifully bestowed upon her by Nature. Later, by deliberate but sure and substantial advancement, the manufacturing interests of the city grew from small beginnings to gigantic proportions, and the city of to day, one of the greatest, wealthiest and most prosperous on the continent, and the undisputed metropolis of the Mississippi Valley, is the result of the patient but sanguine industry, the sagacious improvement of opportunities, the energy and enterprise of her progressive citizens. AS an appropriate introduction to the presentation of the facts and statistics of the present, it will be proper to briefly sketch a few of the salient features of the city's early history, showing the progressive stages of the wonderful development of a primitive hamlet into a city of the first class. Pioneer Days. DeSoto crossed the Mississippi in 1511: Marquette sailed down it to the mouth of the Arkansas River in 1673, and La Salle explored its entire length in 1682. All these events, with the inspiring narratives of those who participated in them. offered the Stimulus and prepared the way for the settlement of the Mississippi Valley and, as a consequence, of St. Louis, its center and metropolis. St. Louis had its origin in the adventurous and enterprising spirit of a business man, bound on a business errand. The firm of Maxent, Laclede & Co., of New Orleans, obtained in 1762, from the Governor General of Louisiana, a grant of exclusive control of the fur trade with the Missouri and other tribes of Indians inhabiting this region.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industries of Saint Louis: Her Relations as a Center of Trade, Manufacturing Establishments and Business Houses The object of this volume is to set forth the inherent and acquired advantages of St. Louis with reference to traffic and industry, and the extent to which these resources have been utilized in the development of the material interests of the city. The author has essayed to briefly sketch such points of antecedent history as are necessary to explain the city's industrial growth and indicate the steps in her progress, and to present such-a view of the present as will convey a faithful idea of the greatness of St. Louis as a commercial and manufacturing center.

It is therefore believed that the statements and statistics contained in the book are in every instance as nearly correct as careful scrutiny could render them.

Book excerpt: The first ever comprehensive history of this troubled city, the book includes more than 250 photographs amd images of the people and events that shaped East St. Louis. Andrew Theising, a professor of political science at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, examines the city's past from the prominent role it played in the growth of 19th century industrial America to its presently depleted state. For Theising, East St. Louis is more than just a river city suburb; it is an example of industry creating and then abandoning a city, and it is also one of the most misunderstood cities in America.

Book excerpt: St. Louis was founded as a fur-trading village in 1764. Located on the banks of the Mississippi River, it became a center of fur trading, cotton and wool distribution, footwear, and ultimately clothing production in the 19th century. Few today would believe that the junior dress market segment was born, developed, and flourished in St. Louis from the 1930s through the 1960s. Buyers for high-end New York retailers flocked to St. Louis twice a year to view and order dresses and footwear. But The River City was a leader in shoes and clothing long before it introduced the junior clothing trend. Ready To Wear is the story of the birth, growth, decline, and rebirth of two wearable industries in St. Louis, Missouri-footwear and garments, alike in their end products but drastically different in their production processes. It takes a unique look at footwear and clothing through factual narrative, seldom-told stories, and detailed vintage images. Take an in-depth look at Washington Avenue-nicknamed Shoe Street USA-located in the heart of downtown. The streets were once filled with bustling crowds of workers, carts, and wagons loaded with raw materials and finished products. The nonstop drone of stitching machines and automated production were heard on every street corner. At that time, St. Louis, the fourth largest city in the US, was a major hub in the footwear and clothing manufacturing industries. It's been said that the street literally buzzed and hummed with the activity of the two thriving industries. Today Washington Avenue has overcome a period of decline to become an urban, hip destination filled with repurposed buildings and amazing architectural details. It's a place alive with residences, nightlife, dining options, and businesses. Thanks to the tireless efforts of local preservationists, most area structures are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Colorfully weaving historical narrative, personal connection, and local lore, Valerie Battle Kienzle name transports the reader to the Washington Avenue of yesteryear. You'll find a surprising fashion-industry hub right in the heart of the Midwest, and a lengthy and impressive history of renowned fashion innovators on every page.
