Title A name given to the resource Perry Knitting Co. Draft Deferment Requests, 1917 Description An account of the resource The Selective Service Act of 1917 was enacted on May 18 of that year. It required all males aged 18 to 30 years to register for military conscription; the first registration took place on June 5. Individuals who were employed in agriculture or industrial labor essential to the war effort were granted a temporary exemption. This document lists the PKC employees, along with their draft number in most cases, for the purposes of an exemption due to the mill's production of clothing for the military. It also happens to be a very useful document for the purposes of understanding the mill's organizational structure and (male) individuals working in each section.

Title A name given to the resource Perry Knitting Co. Draft Deferment Requests, 1942 Description An account of the resource In 1940, the Selective Service and Training Act provided for America's first peacetime draft registration, applicable to all men ages 16 to 64. Initially it was to be for a period of twelve months, but after the Pearl Harbor attack in December 1941 eligibility was extended indefinitely in early 1942. Against this backdrop the Perry Knitting Co. requested an exemption for its employees on the grounds that its product was essential for military operations. We have here a tissue-paper copy of a letter sent to Local Board #571 as "Affidavits to Support Claims for Occupational Deferment" pertaining to the company's employees. These men are listed by their draft number although not, as in <a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/1677" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a similar 1917 appeal</a>, according to their PKC department. The fragile paper has numerous tears that have been retouched for the purpose of display; the first two pages are printed back-to-back and show evidence of shadow bleed-through.

Title A name given to the resource Perry Knitting Co. Loyalty Parade Description An account of the resource The four photographs here partially document a tense confrontation, during 1937, between the Perry Knitting Co. management and the Textile Workers Organizing Committee of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). Like any other factory, worker concerns over safety, wages, and job stability ran into management concerns over profitability and authority. For example, in 1917 more than 250 Polish workers at PKC had gone on strike, leading to an escalating conflict and arrests. The CIO's drive for unionization was much larger; one rally near the Perry Knitting Co. drew an estimated 1,200 people. Against this backdrop the Loyalty Parade should be seen as tactical, a public mobilization to show that workers were happy with the status quo. As the Perry Herald wrote, "In one of the most spontaneous demonstrations of civic spirit ever seen in this section more than 900 employees of the Perry Knitting Co., late yesterday afternoon staged a loyalty parade, prompted by the parade in the morning when less than100 new members of the CIO marched in the vicinity of the mill" (9 June 1937: 1). While its spontaneousness may be doubted--given the matching hats and nicely printed placards--the parade ultimately proved effective. The photographs also document Perry's Main Street at a moment in time. The names and marketing signs of many businesses are visible. At the Auditorium Theater, a double bill of Call It a Day and Turn Off the Moon is playing. A number of curious spectators each think their thoughts. And the parade's marching formation, by work units like "Spinning Room" and "Box Shop," suggest the wrenching decisions individuals faced between loyalty to immediate co-workers and a proposed solidarity of labor. The company may have been valued for providing jobs, but it's questionable whether it could have mobilized such strong feelings.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Perry Knitting Co. Description An account of the resource This collection gathers documents for a Perry Knitting Co. exhibit on OpenValley. They are drawn from from three main sources. First, the Clark Rice Photography Collection at the Perry, NY Public Library. Rice was a prolific photographer in Western New York throughout the mid-20th century. This collection includes scans of his work, and copies of images from the turn of the century photographer Merrium Crocker, whose studio Rice purchased. Secondly, the Henry Page Local History Files. Page was president of First National Bank of Perry, and a local historian associated with the public library for nearly five decades. His uncle, William, had helped secure funding from the Carnegie Corporation for its establishment in 1900 and construction in 1914. The Page collection contains various historical materials and photographs accumulated by him over the years. Thirdly, we draw upon various public domain texts, such as maps from the Library of Congress or <a href="http://perrypubliclibrary.advantage-preservation.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digitized articles from local newspapers</a>. All images here are selections from these collections, chosen for their relevance to OpenValley project. We gratefully acknowledge the generosity of the Perry Public Library and its Director, Jessica Pacciotti.

Title A name given to the resource Perry Knitting Co. Mill #1 Description An account of the resource According to the Rice Collection annotation, this is "Perry Knitting Mill from an early plate, 1880." That pre-dates the operation, but it does seem as though we're looking at the original Mill #1 building at an early date, prior to construction of Mill #2 in 1893. Downstream along the Silver Lake Outlet, at the right side of the photograph, is J.B. Hutton's Custom Cataract Mill. This latter building was demolished shortly after 1900. The photograph here appears to have been lightly retouched. Also available is Rice Collection #5822, an unretouched version of the same image.
