The Story of Three Partners (Classic Reprint): United Shoe Machinery Company, Beverly, Mass., U. S. A - Couverture souple
Synopsis
How one factory changed the way shoes are made and how workers live.
This book explains the rise of a single company that leased and improved shoe-making machinery to many manufacturers. It shows how efficiency, standards, and service helped both big and small players compete, while shaping the factory floor and the bottoming room where soles and heels are attached.
Two chapters describe the social side of industrial progress: the restaurant and rest rooms for workers, the company clubhouse with athletic facilities, gardens, and housing aid. Together, these details illustrate a broader approach to balancing profits with worker well‑being.
- How leasing and coordination of machines supported competition and practical access for small manufacturers
- The role of ongoing maintenance, research, and service in keeping equipment productive
- What a factory town’s welfare facilities look like, from dining rooms to clubhouses and gardens
- How employee programs were presented as intelligent industrial cooperation and business sense
Ideal for readers of business history and social aspects of industrial work.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
