Contemporary panelled leather binding, "Cash" and "Springfield Canal Company" stamped in gilt on spine. 40 cm. 261, (4) pp. Marbled endpapers, manuscript title in ink on front endpaper. Brief, near daily entries (several to a page), between Sept. 1834 and July 1840. An expense book for the company, including the names of numerous local businesses, customers and employees, all in a neat hand. James K. Mills is recorded as Treasurer, and transactions are given for the operations at the Machine Shop, including the purchase of tools, freight, coal, lumber, rope, rivets, knives, and horses, payroll accounts, rents received, tenements constructed, expenses for boarding laborers. A clear, well kept cash book and an excellent example of the development of an early company town. Many local names and businesses are mentioned: Jones Woods & Co.; Chas. McLellan; Amory Fisk; Phelps Dodge & Co.; Cabot Manufacturing Co.; Chicopee Manufacturing Co.; Benj. Belcher & Co.; Rhodolphus Kinsley; Quartus and Veranus Chapin; Northampton Woolen Co.; Homer Foot & Co.; Edmund Dwight; D.L. Swasey, surveyor; G. & C. Merriam; Cristy & Harthan; [etc.]. Numerous transactions were recorded over this six year period. John Chase was paid for supplying bedding for the watchman, and for his assessment for 2 shares in Perkins Mills. Simon Sanborn received $816 for finishing tenements, John Humphreys was paid for digging a cellar for the Cotton House for Cabot Mill #2. On May 26, 1835, N.P. Ames paid a first installment on land he purchased in the area. The Machine Shop supplied pine boards to the Chicopee Manufacturing Company, and repaired spinning rolls for the Hadley Canal Co. Russell Searles collected subscriptions toward the building of the Rock Rimmon Road in Dec. 1835 and in July 1836 he was paid for finishing 108 rods of road on Market & Perkins Streets. Several townswomen were paid for boarding the Irish laborers who helped build the canal. The Irishmen also received a load of cordwood delivered to their "shanties," a ration of punch on the 4th of July, and payment for work "done in Canal cutting off ledge of rock on Sunday Octber 7, 1838." The final four pages of the cash book list drafts and transactions with the Springfield Bank between 1834 and 1836. The Springfield Canal Company was incorporated in 1831 by an association of Boston and Springfield businessmen. At the time, the area known as Springfield also included Chicopee and Cabotville, along the Chicopee River. With an initial investment of $90,000, these businessmen intended to use the river and canal as power sources for the development of cotton mills and textile factories in the region. John Chase (1788-1866), an engineer was tapped as the company's agent. He supervised the construction of the canal, using Irish laborers fresh from their work on the Erie Canal. Utilizing the Springfield Canal's machine shop, three different mills were built at the site of the canal, along with worker housing, dams, and bridges. By the mid-1830s the area was claimed to be a "second Lowell," and in 1837 it was producing two-thirds of the cotton cloth manufactured in the county. The Cabot Manufacturing Company, Perkins Mills, and Dwight Manufacturing all opened cotton manufacturing corporations there between 1832-1841. Edmund Dwight helped persuade Nathan P. Ames and his brother James to move their factory from Chelmsford, Massachusetts to Chicopee Falls and by 1845, they had acquired the Springfield Canal Company machine shop. Their business, The Ames Manufacturing Company, produced textiles, cutlery and tools, and became a major supplier of swords, cannons, and cannonballs to the Union Army and Navy during the Civil War. [see the study by the Massachusetts Historical Commission Reconnaissance Survey Town Report for Chicopee, done in 1982; Vera Shlakman's "Economic History of a Factory Town: A Study of Chicopee, Massachusetts," (Northampton, MA: 1935)]; Francois Weil's article, "Capitalism and Industrialization in New England, 1815-1845," in the Journal of American HIstory, vol. 84, no. 4, March 1998; and John Chase's obituary in The Recorder, Greenfield, MA., May 21, 1866.] One listing found for the Springfield Canal Company on OCLC: C/W MARS, a collection of property deeds, 1833-46. The description lists the owners of the Springfield Canal Company, many of whose names appear in this cash book.
