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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />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., Castile Branch
Description
An account of the resource
Two men stand in front of a building that began operations in 1916 and, as of 1918, was producing 500 dozen garments every week. (<em>Perry Herald</em> 22 April 1936: 7; <em>Perry Herald </em>23 March 1938: 7). The Knitting Co. had difficulties in attracting workers to Perry, and often had a standing advertisement for "Girls" in various newspapers. Local transportation was ineffective. Thus, by opening a factory in Castile (and later in Mt. Morris) the employment came to workers. As a branch factory the Castile plant was susceptible to reduced hours (1924) or closings during economic slowdowns (1920). <br /><br />It's not clear whether the photograph's iris effect was intentional.
