Download or read book Made in Rochester written by Donovan A Shilling and published by Pancoast Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rochester has long been known for its leadership in optics, copying and photography. However, there were also more than 20 shoe manufacturers at one time; plus, the city was a major men’s clothing center and the country’s leading manufacturer of buttons. Many other national and international products also got their start in Rochester. Over the decades, author and historian Donovan Shilling has amassed a vast collection of these products, company photos and advertising material. He selected more than 165 Rochester born companies to feature in this “scrapbook.” You may remember some and you may have just heard of others. One thing’s for sure, though, you won’t want to lay this book down until you read all the way from A. H. Shipman (machinery) to Zweigles (sausage products).

Download or read book Rochester s Downtown written by Donovan A. Shilling and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2001-07-10 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Downtown Rochester is defined by Main Street, State Street, and the major crossroads of those streets. It is the core of one of New York State's most important cities. Rochester's Downtown recaptures the golden era when downtown bloomed as a mecca for daytime workers and shoppers and for an evening's entertainment at vibrant social centers. Rochester's Downtown celebrates the people of this great city as they progress from their early beginnings to create a dynamic business center. This excellent collection of images regenerates the excitement of riding the trolley, of watching a movie at the Palace or the Capitol, of window-shopping at the Duffy-Powers Store, and of tasting frosted malteds at Sibley's or warm doughnuts from the Mayflower Donut Shop or spoonfuls of roasted peanuts from Mr. Peanut Man. The narrative recalls Scrantom's as the place to buy books, Neisner's having the latest 78-rpm records, McCurdy's and Edward's with their special holiday displays, Eddie's Chop House for memorable dinners, and the Century Sweet Shop for after-theater sundaes.

His journey eventually takes him to Jamaica where, as a young man, he becomes entangled with an enticing heiress and makes a choice that will haunt him. It is only when he finally returns home and encounters one stubborn, plain, young governess, that Edward can see any chance of redemption - and love.

Download or read book A Shopkeeper s Millennium written by Paul E. Johnson and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2004-06-21 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quarter-century after its first publication, A Shopkeeper's Millennium remains a landmark work--brilliant both as a new interpretation of the intimate connections among politics, economy, and religion during the Second Great Awakening, and as a surprising portrait of a rapidly growing frontier city. The religious revival that transformed America in the 1820s, making it the most militantly Protestant nation on earth and spawning reform movements dedicated to temperance and to the abolition of slavery, had an especially powerful effect in Rochester, New York. Paul E. Johnson explores the reasons for the revival's spectacular success there, suggesting important links between its moral accounting and the city's new industrial world. In a new preface, he reassesses his evidence and his conclusions in this major work.
