Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Co-Operative Production, Vol. 2 In William Nuttall´s well-known statistics of failures of productive societies, it is mentioned that from 1862 to 1880, there had been seven societies registered for the manufacture of boots and shoes. Two of these were at Northampton, and there had been one each at Bury St Edmunds, Leeds, Norwich, Sheffield, and Stafford. At the end of 1880 they were all dead. The condition of the shoemakers in the earlier portion of this period, is shown by statements made during a missionary visit to Northamptonshire, by D. P. Foxwell, in 1867. This journey was undertaken at the instance of Henry Pitman, who, as editor of the Co-operator, had collected a special fund for the purpose. Being a shoemaker, Mr. Foxwell took special interest in this portion of his work. Among other places he visited Raunds, a village of about 2,500 inhabitants, which, he said, was ´chiefly occupied by shoemakers, but all under the control of one employer, who resides in the place. He keeps a grocer´s and draper´s shop ; and if you don´t spend your money at his establishment you must go and seek work at another village.´ It was further asserted that at this time there were ´hundreds of shoemakers who toil for the miserable pittance of 2¿d. per hour.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
