Abstract: J. B. Lippincott Company was an American publishing house founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1836 by Joshua B. Lippincott. Joshua Lippincott's company began by selling Bibles and other religious works and then successfully expanded into trade books, which became the largest portion of the business. In 1849, Lippincott acquired Grigg, Elliot and Company, a major book distribution company. The acquisition helped make the company one of the largest publishers in the United States. In the 1950s the company expanded production of its successful line of medical and nursing books and journals. The company was sold to Harper and Row in 1978, but Joshua Lippincott's great-grandson Joseph Wharton Lippincott Jr. remained on the Board of Directors until 1987. In 1990, the company was acquired by the Dutch corporation Wolters Kluwer, which initated a series of mergers. First, Lippincott was combined with Raven Publishers in 1995 to form Lippincott-Raven, which was then merged with Williams and Wilkins in 1998 to form Lippincott Williams and Wilkins. The collection consists of business records documenting over 100 years of the company's history. The largest portion of the collection is comprised of a series of letterbooks containing outgoing correspondence related to all aspects of the publishing operation, from soliciting advertising for magazines to negotiating author contracts. Several dozen letterbooks contain incoming correspondence from Lippincott's London Agency. Much of the rest of the collection consists of a variety of financial records, including general ledgers, receipt books, cash disbursement books, and payroll records. Publication costs and sales are documented through stock cards, royalty payment records, book catalogs, and order and inventory volumes. The collection also includes several manuscripts for publications and some original artwork and illustrations. There is also 22.7 linear feet of books and periodicals published by Lippincott and its early incarnations.

Background note

Joshua Ballinger Lippincott was born in Juliustown, Burlington County, New Jersey, on 18 March 1813. As a teenager, Lippincott entered the book trade as an employee of David Clark, book binder and bookseller, whose stand was at the southwest corner of North 4th Street and Race Street. About 1831, Clark’s business failed, and Lippincott was put in charge of the business at the request of its creditors. For several years in the mid-1830s, the firm traded as Clark and Lippincott, but in 1836, Lippincott established himself in business as J. B. Lippincott and Company, Booksellers and Stationers, at Clark’s old address. Over the following decades, the firm became an established publisher of books, including Bibles and religious texts.

In late 1849, Lippincott purchased the extensive book-jobbing and stationery business of Grigg, Elliott and Company, a firm that traced its origins back to Warner and Johnson’s partnership of 1792, and together with the junior partners of the older firm reorganized as Lippincott, Grambo and Company on 1 January 1850. This firm subsequently conducted business at both the old address as well as Grigg, Elliott’s block at 20 North Fourth Street. Upon the retirement of Henry Grambo in 1855, the firm was again reorganized as J. B. Lippincott and Company, and continued to trade under this name until its incorporation as a private company, J. B. Lippincott Companyy, in 1885.

Joshua B. Lippincott died on 5 January 1886. The company passed in equal parts to his three sons, Craige, Walter, and J. Bertram. Eldest son Craige took over as president of the firm and guided the company until his sudden death on 7 April 1911. The board then elected J. Bertram Lippincott as president, and he served in this capacity until his elevation to chairman of the board in 1926. At that time, Joseph Wharton Lippincott, son of J. Bertram Lippincott, was chosen as the fourth president of the firm. Succeeding generations of the Lippincott family remained involved in the management of the company into the 2000s.

In 1861, the firm acquired a lot at 715 – 717 Market Street, where it proceeded to build an extensive book publishing, importing, retailing, wholesaling, and manufacturing business. The firm moved to this location in March 1863 and by 1871 occupied two large, connected buildings that stretched back to Filbert Street – the retail and wholesaling departments and publishing offices in front, facing Market Street, and the manufacturing establishment in the rear. These buildings were gutted by fire in the early morning hours of 29 November 1899, and all stock on hand was destroyed. Electroplates stored in the vaults were spared, and some records also survived. Temporary operations were set up at the nearby Continental Hotel. By August 1901, the firm had moved to a new building at 227 East Washington Square, where it remained until its removal in 1999 to its current offices in the Penn Mutual Building at 530 Walnut Street.

At the end of the 19th century, the firm began to concentrate on its publishing and manufacturing activities. The retail book department was sold to Strawbridge and Clothier in 1897. Lit Brothers department store purchased the stationery and fancy goods department along with the Market Street storefront in 1898.

The firm first opened a branch office in New York City in 1871 and in 1875 established the London Agency, which was finally closed in 1955. A branch office was established in 1897 in Montreal, where it operated until a 1966 move to Toronto. The company had an office in Chicago by 1912, and in 1918, this branch took over management of the school and college textbook lines under the direction of Clarence W. Taber. In 1936, a trade editorial office was opened in New York City at 250 Park Avenue (later moved to 521 Fifth Avenue), and Lippincott purchased two New York publishing firms: Carrick and Evans, Inc. in 1940 and Frederick A. Stokes Company in 1941. The company went public in 1972 and was acquired in 1978 by Harper and Row, which combined it with Thomas Y. Crowell, another Harper subsidiary; the new firm’s books were published under the imprint of Lippincott and Crowell until 1981. In 1990, the company was acquired by Wolters Kluwer, which merged it with Raven Publishers and then, in 1998, with Williams and Wilkins to form Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, which continues in business today as a publisher of medical texts, reference books, and journals.

Over its long history, the Lippincott firm has published many works of interest, covering a number of subjects and genres. During the nineteenth century, the firm was particularly noted for its reference works, expensive to produce, including the many editions of Lippincott’s Pronouncing Gazetteer (first published 1855), the American editions of Chambers’s Encyclopedia, A Dictionary of Universal Knowledge for the People (first published 1861), the Universal Dictionary of Biography and Mythology (1870), and all but the first volume of Samuel Austin Allibone’s A Critical Dictionary of English Literature (1858-1871). It also published many standard, multi-volume sets of the works of important American and British authors, as well as such works as Henry Rowe Schoolcraft’s six-volume History of the Indian Tribes of the United States (1851-1857) and the first 27 volumes of Horace Howard Furness’s edition of A New Variorum Edition of Shakespeare (1871-1955). From its early years, medical publications formed an important element of the firm’s list. In 1878, the firm issued A Hand-Book of Nursing, the first commercially published nursing handbook in the United States. While these works came to predominate during the twentieth century, the company remained a major publisher of trade books. Notable trade titles published during the mid-twentieth century include Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston in 1937 and five of her other early works (1934 – 1942). Lippincott also published Mary O’Hara’s My Friend Flicka in 1941, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird in 1960, and Thomas Pynchon’s first two books (1963, 1966).

In 1868 the firm launched Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine, which it continued to publish until 1914. A unique feature of this magazine was that it published the entire text of a novelette in each issue, including notably Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Sign of the Four” (February 1890), Oscar Wilde’s “The Picture of Dorian Gray” (July 1890), and Rudyard Kipling’s “The Light that Failed” (January 1891). The firm also published a number of other periodicals, chiefly on medical subjects, notably the Annals of Surgery (beginning 1897). Lippincott published the American Journal of Nursing until 1913, when the American Nurses Association transferred the journal to Williams and Wilkins. Other periodicals published by Lippincott included the Motor Register, which it took over in 1907, and Child-Welfare.

Scope and content note

The J. B. Lippincott Company records cover many aspects of the firm’s business from 1851 to 1988 (bulk 1880s – 1920s).

Series 1 (1851-1988) documents the activities of the publication department. Records include outgoing correspondence in letterpress volumes, incoming and outgoing correspondence in files, financial records, publication and copyright records, manuscripts, artwork, and proofs. The outgoing correspondence is in several chronologically overlapping runs, none of which are complete. Personal correspondence is not included, although individual letters often contain references to personal matters. Editorial and business content predominate. Of special note are the detailed letters from art director, Edward S. Holloway. (A great number of Holloway’s letters also appear in Series 5 with the manufacturing department correspondence.) Unfortunately, many early volumes have water damage. The five international letterbooks focus on imports, and Horace Ridings’ letters tend to include a modest social element. The correspondence files are chiefly incoming letters from authors with some copies of associated outgoing letters. Publication records include permissions to remainder and trade catalogs. There are a few miscellaneous manuscripts, typescripts, and proofs by authors such as Ouida, Arthur Applin, and Ford Madox Ford. The series concludes with original artwork. There is a large array of intricate anatomical drawings by Hermann Faber and his sons, Ludwig E. Faber and Erwin F. Faber, with a few by Louis P. Schmidt. A small group of trade book illustrations is predominantly by M. L. Kirk.

Series 2 (1869-1918) contains records relating to Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine and consists mostly of letterpress volumes of outgoing correspondence. Early correspondence for the magazine is included in the general correspondence of the publication department. Letters on advertising and subscriptions may be found in the manufacturing department letterbooks. Although the letters in this sequence are essentially business correspondence, managing editor J. M. Stoddart often touched on social matters in his writing, notably in his frequent letters to Julian Hawthorne (1886 – 1894). The editorial letterbook sequence begins in 1899 and ends in 1914, when the magazine was sold to McBride and Nast, and it is missing only one volume. The rest of this series contains an extensive set of manuscript records, including payment receipts and purchase and disposal cards. The manuscript payment records start in 1869, a year after publication began, and run through 1914. Manuscript purchase and disposal records document sales of rights through 1918. A small set of original cartoons concludes the series.

Series 3 (1893-1905) is a small series for Lippincott’s medical periodicals and is almost entirely outgoing advertising correspondence. One volume concerns advertising for International Medical Magazine (1891 – 1893). The remaining volumes are an uninterrupted sequence of six letterbooks from 1903 to 1905. There is one folder of copyrights for Annals of Surgery in 1901.

Series 4 (1875-1936) consists of correspondence to and from Lippincott’s London Agency, which was established in 1875. The outgoing letterbooks are arranged in three distinct runs. The first is general correspondence from 1875 to 1899. The second run is chiefly editorial and production matters and spans from 1899 to 1923. The last outgoing group of letterbooks relates primarily to imports, and these volumes run without interruption from 1894 to 1921. Incoming letters from London were bound into scrapbooks, and with the exception of one 1890 letter, the dates covered range from 1895 to 1936. Due to their condition, these scrapbook volumes have been disbound and placed into archival folder and boxes.

Series 5 (1899-1956) is composed of manufacturing department correspondence and record books almost exclusively from the 20th century. This department encompassed much more than its name suggests. Advertising and periodical subscriptions fell under the manufacturing umbrella and figured heavily in the correspondence. In addition to letters about layouts, printing, and production, subjects occasionally included personnel and labor matters, supply orders, and remittances. Many letters from art manager Edward S. Holloway appear in these books. The series is nearly complete for its date range. The record books are heterogeneous in terms of dates and content and include departmental sales books, stock and supply inventories, book production records, and a printing plate record book.

Series 6 (1882 - circa 1956) is a small series of heterogeneous sales-related records and documents. It contains outgoing correspondence regarding sales to the trade and sales to individuals. Also included are letterbooks of the educational department which concern sales to schools and colleges. A small number of ledgers, sales reports, and commission records make up the rest of the series.

Series 7 (1853-1958) relates to the activities of the business department, which handled the financial matters of the company. The records in this series consist of a few pressed letterbooks and a variety of account books and journals with dates ranging from 1853 to 1958. The early account books include Joshua B. Lippincott’s day book and the partners’ private cash ledger. Most of the volumes in this series date to the first half of the 20th century.

Series 8 (1881-1945) is a set of seven business and accounting record books for the Frederick A. Stokes Company, which was founded in 1881 as White and Stokes. Most records in this small series relate to sales, royalties, and manufacturing and predate the firm’s acquisition by the J. B. Lippincott Company in 1941.

Series 9 (1833-1967) consists primarily of Lippincott publications, including earlier iterations of the company and its predecessors, such as Lippincott, Grambo and Grigg and Elliott. The books are from many genres: fiction, nonfiction, educational, medical, manual, and commemorative. Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine is well represented through 1897.

Series 10 (1878-1988) contains a variety of miscellaneous items including a few photographs; a partial set of electrotype printing plates; some book catalogs, mostly from Lippincott successors (1961-1978); and unidentified letterbook indexes.

Particular strengths of the collection include correspondence to and from the firm’s London Agency, editorial correspondence for Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine, the manufacturing department letterbooks, and the early 20th century author correspondence files. The most frequently cited item is J. M. Stoddart’s international letterbook for Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine (Box 17 folder 15), which has letters to Oscar Wilde, Rudyard Kipling, and Arthur Conan Doyle.

Despite the size of the collection, there are some notable gaps. Aside from the London Agency letters, incoming correspondence is limited to the modest set of author files in Series 1. Internal correspondence only appears occasionally in the pressed letterbooks, often due to travel of the recipient, but the researcher would need to be aware of which correspondents were associated with the company. Sales records are especially under represented. Payroll records from the mid-twentieth century could be of interest to researchers, but the access restrictions on the most recent volume expire in 2033.

Provenance

Gift of Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2002 (accession number 2002.036). The donation was initiated on 11 August 1999 by an email from Joseph Wharton Lippincott III, president of Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, in light of the firm’s impending move from its offices at 227 Washington Square East to new facilities in the Penn Mutual Building, 530 Walnut Street. That fall 137 boxes of materials were received by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, which completed a “spot” inventory and sent a deed of gift to the donor on 24 January 2001. Discussions concerning an additional 3 boxes of material to be donated took place in March 2001, and the gift was finally accepted on 28 May 2002. On 12 August 2002, the receipt of an additional 4 boxes – “the last of the materials that Lippincott Williams and Wilkins currently had for donation” – was acknowledged. A stray volume labeled “Job Order Book” (volume 529) was added to the collection in August 2007, the gift of Eileen Wolfberg.

Processing note

Many items in the collection are water damaged and have been cleaned for mold. Researchers with mold sensitivities should exercise caution when working with this collection.

Three volumes of incoming letters from Lippincott's London Agency (29 July 1904 to 17 February 1906, 26 November 1908 to 16 November 1909, and 20 November 1909 to 10 December 1910) are missing from the collection as of January 2020.

The contents of Box 17 folder 3 (correspondence with Ward, Lock and Co. regarding Arthur Applin’s The Woman Who Was Not) are missing as of October 2020.

The letters from Collection 4028 J. B. Lippincott letters have been integrated with the collection

Collection Inventory

Series 1. Publication department (1851 - 1988) Scope and content note The publication department formed the foundation of the company and accounts for the largest portion of the collection and its earliest correspondence. Over time, records for other departments began to be kept separately from the publication department. Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine started a dedicated set of letterbooks in 1886. Sales department correspondence dates to 1884. Extant records for the manufacturing department and business department date to 1899, possibly a result of the November 1899 fire.
Series 1A. Correspondence (1860s - 1936) Scope and content note The outgoing correspondence of the publication department is comprised of several groups of letterpress volumes and spans the 1860s to the 1930s, bulk 1870s to 1920s. Some volumes lack indexes. Several unidentified indexes are included in Series 10. The first group, Volumes 1 – 104, is comprised of general outgoing letters (1870 – 1915), (but see Volume 15 for a few letters from the 1860s). During the 1870s and 1880s, the letters addressed many aspects of the Lippincott firm’s business, but mainly focused on editorial matters relating to its book and periodical publications. These letters are signed or initialed by many people, including Albert Coleman, J. Berg Esenwein, John S. Hewitt, Edward S. Holloway, Henry H. Kimball, Joshua B. Lippincott, J. Bertram Lippincott, Walter Lippincott, John N. Rawlings, William S. Walsh, and Churchill Williams. Several volumes are labeled as “Mr. Williams’ and Mr. Rawlings’ Letterbook.” The second series, Volumes 105 – 218, is comprised of general outgoing letters (1899 – 1923). Ellis W. Bacon is a primary correspondent, and several volumes are labeled “Mr. E. W. Bacon.” Others letter writers include A. Adams, Thomas P. Bacon, Alfred C. Balch, Ralph Bicknell, M. Blair, Louise R. Bull, J. Berg Esenwein, Rupert S. Holland, Edward S. Holloway, Robert S. Ingersoll, W. M. Lednum, Craige Lippincott, Joseph Wharton Lippincott, Joshua Bertram Lippincott, John N. Rawlings, Horace S. Ridings, Walter S. Slack, and Olive M. Sudders. Rounding out the publication department’s domestic letterbooks are two volumes from Ralph Bicknell (Volumes 219 - 220), spanning 1909 to 1915, and one volume (221) from the Dictionary Department (1905 – 1906), signed by H. G. Emery. There is comparatively little incoming correspondence. A small number of letters from the second half of the 19th century was collected by Horace S. Ridings. Loose incoming and outgoing author 20th century correspondence is split into two groups. The first group was originally labeled “Permanent Records,” and these files are arranged chronologically by year (1903 – 1917). A few business correspondents are included. The second group of letters (1922 – 1936) is arranged alphabetically by author and chronologically by year. Retail sales reports which were included with these files have been grouped with similar records in Series 6b. Five volumes of international correspondence (1877 – 1921) relate chiefly to imports. A few letters to domestic correspondents are included. Many letters in Volume 222 are written by Henry H. Kimball, who upon his death in 1894 was succeeded by Horace S. Ridings. The remaining volumes contain letters by Horace S. Ridings and Thomas H. Clagett.

Series 1C. Miscellaneous publication records (circa 1871 - 1949) Scope and content note Other records of the publication department include many trade catalogs (general and medical) and a few original manuscripts, typescripts, and artwork. Many of the children’s book catalogs contain artwork reproduced from the publications. Also in this subseries is a partial set of proofs for a comprehensive English dictionary, which was the pet project of J. Bertram Lippincott. In 1906, after the investment of 14 years and $400,000, J. Bertram Lippincott opted to shelve the project, citing the effects on his health and the projected cost of completion. Copy had been prepared through “G” and proofs printed through “esteem.”

Series 2. Lippincott's Monthly Magazine (1869 - 1918) Scope and content note J. B. Lippincott published Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine from 1868 through November 1914, when the magazine was sold to McBride, Nast and Company of New York. It ceased publication in 1916. This series spans from 1886 to 1923 and includes extensive correspondence and manuscript records. Also present are two folders of original artwork and captions.
Series 2A. Outgoing correspondence (1886 - 1914) Scope and content note Letters regarding the earliest years of Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine are included in the general series of outgoing correspondence of the publication department (Series 1A). Many letters regarding periodical subscriptions and advertising are included in the manufacturing department letter books (Series 5A). Outgoing general correspondence for Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine was separated from the publishing department starting in 1886 in two sequential runs of pressed letterbooks, a general numbered series first and a later series for the editorial department. The latter is missing only one volume. Some volumes lack indexes. Several unidentified indexes are included in Series 10. The numbered series (1886 – 1899) contains the outgoing letters of Joseph Marshall Stoddart, managing editor (1886 – 1894). Others who signed letters in this series include Frederick M. Bird (editor), J. Bertram Lippinott, Lillian A. North, Charles E. Roberts, Henry C. Walsh, William S. Walsh, J. E. Winner, and an unidentified “M. S.”. Stoddart’s correspondence in this period includes letters to Walt Whitman and Oscar Wilde. When Stoddart left his position as managing editor in April 1894, this series of pressed letterbooks was continued by Alfred C. Balch and Charles E. Roberts, advertising manager. While Stoddart’s correspondence usually concerned editorial and management matters, Balch and Roberts showed a greater focus on business matters, such as subscriptions and advertising. The editorial letterbooks (1899 – 1914) include outgoing letters from the following editors of Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine: Harrison S. Morris (January 1899 to May 1905), J. Berg Esenwein (June 1905 to March 1914), and Louise R. Bull (1914), whose signature appears increasingly throughout the series. Frederic L. Colver and Walter S. Slack signed occasionally from 1913. In addition to editorial matters, subjects include serial and motion picture rights. There is one volume of international correspondence written by J. M. Stoddart to J. Garmeson and others (1889 – 1894). These letters deal with editorial and management issues surrounding the start up and continued publication of the English edition of Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine. This volume contains letters to Arthur Conan Doyle, Oscar Wilde, and Rudyard Kipling. In 1899, advertising correspondence for the magazine was separated from editorial concerns and received its own dedicated series of letterbooks (1889 – 1905). Letters in these books were signed by Charles E. Roberts and E. Chase (starting in 1903). After 1905, letters related to periodical advertising correspondence were handled by the manufacturing department. One file of unbound correspondence and receipts for Lippincott’s “Notable Stories” (1893) completes this subseries.

Series 2B. Other records (1869 - 1918) Scope and content note Records in this subseries provide extensive documentation of payments for manuscripts and rights for material appearing in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine from 1869 to 1914. These have been maintained in their original groups as received from the J. B. Lippincott Company. The first section contains several sets of payment receipts for manuscripts and rights which are variously organized. Many are arranged chronologically and alphabetically. Second is a group of five letterpress receipt books for manuscript rights. The third section section consists of extensive manuscript purchase and disposal records (1869 – 1918), which continued to document sales of manuscript rights after Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine was sold. Cards appear in three major groups (1869 – 1918, 1899 – 1914, and circa 1897 – circa 1912) and are organized alphabetically, followed by three folders of miscellaneous cards. Five letterpress receipt books (1899 - 1914) and two manuscript payments record books (1870 – 1911) conclude the magazine’s manuscript records.

Series 3. Lippincott's medical periodicals (1893 - 1905) Scope and content note The Lippincott firm published many medical periodicals, which include International Medical Magazine (from 1891), Annals of Surgery (from 1897), American Journal of Nursing (from 1900 to September 1913), and the International Dental Journal. For additional letters concerning subscriptions for some of these journals, see the manufacturing department letter books. Outgoing correspondence for the medical periodicals relates to advertising. One volume concerns advertising for International Medical Magazine (1891 – 1893) and is mostly signed by Charles E. Roberts. Four volumes concern advertising for Lippincott’s other medical magazines. Most letters are signed by E. H. Kimball, advertising manager, and later William M. Hayes (1902 – 1905). One folder of copyrights for Annals of Surgery (1901) concludes the series.

Series 4. Lippincott's London agency (1875 - 1936) Scope and content note Lippincott’s London agency was opened at 10 Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, in 1875, under the directorship of Joseph Garmeson. The agency occupied various Covent Garden addresses, mostly on Henrietta Street until a 1913 removal to 16 John Street, Adelphi. In January 1918, these premises were commandeered for the duration of the war, forcing removal to temporary offices at 34 Bedford Street and 22 Henrietta Street. In February 1920, the agency returned to the John Street address. The original director, Joseph Garmeson, was succeeded by Arthur Milner in early 1906. Milner resigned suddenly in March 1922, and H. G. Lown took over as managing director.
Series 4A. Outgoing letters to Lippincott's London agency (1875 - 1923) Scope and content note Outgoing correspondence to the London agency is in three series of pressed letterbooks. The first is general correspondence running from 1875 to 1895. This sequence appears to be missing one or two letterbooks and most of another. Signatories include Henry H. Kimball, John N. Rawlings, William S. Walsh, and “M. S.” (unidentified). The second, less complete group spans 1899 to 1923 and pertains to editorial and production matters. These books are signed by John N. Rawlings as well as Ellis W. Bacon, Alfred C. Balch, Ralph Bicknell, H. G. Emery, J. Berg Esenwein, Edward S. Holloway, Joseph Wharton Lippincott, Olive M. Sudders, Churchill Williams, and “M. S.” (unidentified). The third group is correspondence related primarily to imports, written mostly by Horace S. Ridings between 1894 and 1921. Thomas P. Bacon and J. Bertram Lippincott also signed these letterbooks.

Series 4B. Incoming letters from Lippincott's London agency (1890 - 1936) Scope and content note Incoming letters and cables from Lippincott’s London Agency were bound into scrapbook volumes which spanned from 1890 to 1936. Due to their condition, these volumes have been disbound and rehoused in archival folders and boxes. In addition to correspondence originating with the London office employees, there are occasional letters from Lippincott’s Philadelphia directors and employees written while they were overseas. These include J. Jefferson Jones and J. Bertram Lippincott.

Series 5. Manufacturing department (1899 - 1956) Scope and content note The records of the manufacturing department date almost exclusively from the 20th century. The department’s activities encompass much of the day-to-day work of publishing, ranging from layouts and proofs to advertising and orders. This series includes 142 volumes of outgoing correspondence plus a variety of accounting and record books.
Series 5A. Outgoing correspondence (1899 - 1923) Scope and content note A near-complete series of pressed letterbooks ranges from 1899 to 1923, with two volumes predating the 1899 fire which destroyed the plant. Letters cover various topics including invoices, remittances, orders, inquiries, and layouts. There is a significant amount of correspondence to advertising and sales agents and some commission statements. Frederic L. Colver’s letters starting in 1913 reflect a campaign to increase periodical circulation. Among the other employees whose letters are recorded here are Alfred C. Balch; M. Blair (“Miss Blair”); George Burkhardt; J. C. Chevalier; Charles Clarke; George W. Daley; S. Boyer Davis; William F. Dowell; J. Berg Esenwein; Harry H. Fell; S. C. Garner; J. B. M. Grier; William P. Grunthorp, Jr.; William M. Hayes; Edward S. Holloway; George B. Carfrey; E. L. D. Roach; F. A. Roberts; Julian Shoemaker; Walter S. Slack; and “M.S.” (unidentified).

Series 5B. Account books and other records (1900 - 1956) Scope and content note The accounting records begin with a series of five sales journals ranging from 1905 to 1937. There is also a single job order book (1925 – 1929). This is followed by a series of six year-end departmental inventory books (1950 – 1956). Production records (circa 1900 – 1939) consist of two series of file cards. The first series (undated) is book production cards for the second half of the alphabet. The second is book cost and record cards for dead series (1921 – 1939). These are organized somewhat alphabetically and have been maintained in their original groups. A single composition order (1923) completes the production records. A plate inventory book (1900 – 1901) follows.
