About This Item
[Manchester, NH, 1870. Broadside, 6 3/4" x 8 1/2". Ten paragraphs printed within a border, and signed at the end in type by Phinehas Adams, Agent; with space at the bottom of the broadside for the employee's signature, signifying that he "hereby agree[s] to conform to the foregoing Regulations." Near Fine.
The Stark Mills was organized in the late 1830's; Adams, who was prominent in the political and cultural life of Manchester and New Hampshire, became its agent about ten years later, and remained there for more than thirty years.
The Regulations required employees to be punctual. "They are not to be absent from their work without consent, except in case of sickness, and then they are to send the Overseer word of the cause of their absence." As the proprietor of an early Company Town, Stark Mills required all employees "to board in one of the boarding houses belonging to the company, unless permitted by the agent to do otherwise, and to conform to the regulations of the house where they board." Moreover, "any one who is habitually absent from public worship on the Sabbath" will not be employed.
OCLC 181181315 [1- U OK], 829704641 [1- Am. Textile Mus.] as of November 2020.
