BIOGRAPHICAL
STATEMENT
John Sise was a merchant from Portsmouth, New Hampshire,
who sold crockery, including stoneware, earthenware, cream-colored ware, Parian
ware, white granite, china, and terra cotta.
He was also an insurance agent.
He was born in 1830, the son of Edward and Ann
Sise. (Edward Sise was a merchant.) In the 1870 census, John was listed as an
insurance agent. In the 1881 city
directory, he was listed as the president of a bank and an insurance
agent. But in the 1867 city directory,
he was listed as a crockery dealer and insurance agent. He was married to Lucy
March; they had several children; he died in 1898.
SCOPE AND
CONTENT
This collection of business papers is made up of a
small number of bills (1851-1867), four volumes of waste books (1853-1861), five
volumes of sales books (1853-1865), and one invoice book (1865-1868). The bills are for a wide variety of ceramic
and glassware products such as lamps, castor frames, pots, milk pans, paper
weights, bowls, jugs, nappies, spittoons, spoon holders, tumblers, wine
glasses, bird founts, and goblets etc.
Several of the bills include price lists. There are also several bills
for silver-plated flatware. The waste
and sales books contain entries for the above-mentioned ceramics and glassware
as well as for insurance premiums. It is unclear what the insurance was
supposed to cover. Each entry in these
volumes includes a price.
Many of the bills are on printed billheads, but not
illustrated ones. However, three
companies do include views of their establishments on their billheads: the East
Boston Pottery firm, the American Glass Company of South Boston, and Underhill,
Haviland & Co. of Limoges, France (which had a warehouse in New York City,
but the view is of the factory). A price
list of J.T. Winslow, stone ware manufacturer in Portland, has illustrations of
the wares he produced (jugs, cake pots, churns, pitchers, etc.).
The collection also includes an invoice book for the
years 1865-1868. In the 20th
century, a bill addressed to Gershom Melcher, a watchmaker and jeweler in
Portsmouth, was taped into the front of this volume, so for many years it was
questionably attributed to him. However,
comparing bills addressed to Sise with what was recorded in this volume
confirms that the invoice book was kept by Sise. The goods listed in the invoice book include
glassware and chinaware. Many of the
goods are nicely described, sometimes including pattern names. Goods included lava toy tea sets, ruby gilt
engraved vases, unglazed flower pots, plain Wellington wine glasses, pairs of
carvers, and a wide range of such goods.
Among the firms represented were the Mount Washington Glass Works; the
Cape Cod Glass Company; Curtis, Collamore & Co.; the Boston and Sandwich
Glass Co., and Meriden Cutlery Co.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION

74x89.1 Waste
book, November 1, 1853-December 30, 1854.
74x89.2 Waste
book, November 1, 1855-October 31, 1856.
74x89.3 Waste
book, November 24, 1858-November 30, 1859.
74x89.7 Waste
book, Dec. 1, 1859-April 5, 1861.
The
waste books, or daybooks, give the name of the customer, what was purchased,
and the total amount of the purchase.
The items were often just listed by type, such as baker, pie plates, tea
spoons, a fruit basket; but sometimes a slight description was given: gold
grape tea set, blue meat dish, stone teapot [i.e. stoneware teapot], a Parian
vase.
Business expenses are also
listed, such as policies with various insurance companies and paying for bills
of exchange, although many of the entries simply record “business
expenses.” On April 11, 1859, Sise
recorded paying G.A. Melcher for Parian ware purchased in Liverpool. George A. Melcher was a mariner, and from
other entries, seems to have been often commissioned to make purchases abroad.
Accessions 74x89.1-3 have
cardboard covers. Accession 74x89.7 is
bound, and was purchased from George B. Brown & Co. of Boston. The letter W is written on the front and back
covers.
74x89.4 Sales
book, April 1, 1853-October 31, 1854.
74x89.5 Sales
book, May 1, 1856-November 30, 1857.
74x89.6 Sales
book, December 1, 1857-September 30, 1859.
74x89.8 Sales
book, October 1, 1859-December 13, 1861.
74x89.9 Sales
book, January 1, 1864-February 28, 1865.
The sales books list
what was sold each day, but not who purchased the items. The store was closed on December 25, but
opened on January 1. The store would
also close on Thanksgiving. Tuesday,
March 14, 1854, was a slow sales day, and has a note in the margin, State
Election, to account for the slow sales.
The items are simply
described by type: lamps, teas, teapots, plates, inkstand, spit cup, chimney, e
& basin [ewer and basin], bowl and pitcher, match box, etc., etc. No other description is given of the items
sold.
Accessions 74x89.4-6 have
cardboard covers. Accession 74x89.8 is
bound, and was purchased from George B. Brown & Co., stationers, of
Boston. The letter S is written on the
front and back covers, and the name John Sise is written inside the front
cover. Accession 74x89.9 is also bound,
but has no booksellers label inside.
69x35 “Invoice book, commenced June 10,
1865, finished [blank], per order, J.E. Knowlton, clerk.” The book covers June 10, 1865-October 6, 1868. It records the name and location of companies
from whom pottery and glass wares were ordered, what was ordered, and the
prices. Entries in the volume match with
loose bills in the folder below.
Taped on the
front fly leaf is a bill addressed to G.F. Melcher. Because of this bill, this volume was previously
part of the Gershom F. Melcher papers, Col. 4, at this repository. However, the volume is now in its proper
home.
A
name index to this invoice book is appended to this finding aid.
The invoice
book (acc. 69x35) is also available on microfilm, Mic. 955.
John Edward
Knowlton, the clerk, and also author of a letter in this collection (acc.
64x38.43), was born in 1846 in New Hampshire, the son of John Knowlton and
Elizabeth Caroline Ham Knowlton. In
1870, he married Sarah Frances Payne (1848-1924) in Portsmouth. In the 1880 census, he was listed as a
salesman of crockery, living in Malden, Mass., with his wife and their sons. Knowlton died in April 1887 in Malden.

May 26, 1866. More of the Chinese
pattern just arrived and will send plates and muffins when it is unpacked. Thanks for photo of No. 5 Market Square
[where Sise’s business was located]; “Gershom, as well as yourself, looks as
natural as life, almost, standing in the door-way.” Business has been good this week.
The
reference to Gershom is intriguing. A
copy of the 1867 directory for Portsmouth does not list anyone with that
surname. The watchmaker Gershom Melcher
was located at 10 Market Square; could this be a reference to him? [See Col. 4 at this repository for Gershom
Melcher papers.]
