BIOGRAPHICAL
STATEMENT
The Bay State Paper Collar Company was started by
members of the Elliot family of Middlesex County, Massachusetts, in 1866, but
seems to have gone out of business by 1870.
The company made paper collars and sleeve cuffs for both men and
women. Those Elliots involved in the
company were Joseph Elliot (1807-1874), but more especially his sons Alfred L.
Elliot (born 1847) and Charles D. Elliot (1837-1908). Sylvester Chamberlain Fay (1825-1891) was one
of their agents.
Joseph Elliot lived in Somerville, Massachusetts. In the 1860 census, he was listed as a depot
master, and in 1870 as a vinegar maker (living in Cambridge), so it is not
clear how he came to be involved in making paper collars. He married Zenora Tucker (1809-1885), and
they had several children.
Son Charles Darwin Elliot (June 1837-1908) served in
the Civil War as an topographical engineer.
After the failure of the collar business, he was listed in census
records as a civil engineer, living in Somerville, Mass. During the Civil War, he had spent time in
Louisiana, and there he met and married Emily Jane Ring (born in Wisconsin,
1843, died 1909), and they had several children: Clara, Charles J., Addie, and
Ella.
Emily Ring was the daughter of David Ring (died
1874) and Mary Spencer (died 1846). Following
her mother’s death, Emily went to live with Frances E. Clapp and Nathaniel
Fisher (1807-1885) Hyer. Mr. Hyer had
been involved with surveying in Wisconsin, and helped to draft a constitution
for the state. Due to poor health, the
Hyers moved south, and the outbreak of the Civil War found them in Louisiana. Eventually, the Hyers moved back to
Wisconsin, where Mr. Hyer died.
The other son involved in the Bay State Paper Collar
Co. was Alfred Lawrence Elliot, who was born in March 1847. In 1870, he married Isadore M. Smith (born
circa 1848), daughter of Dennis and Mary Smith.
Their daughters were Maud and Edith.
When he joined the Masons in 1870, his occupation was listed as civil
engineer, but in the 1880 census, he was listed as a manufacturer of heel
stiffenings.
One of Joseph and Zenora’s daughters was Mary E.
(Mary Elvira) Elliot (1851-1942). She
was a leader of the Willard C. Kinsley Relief Corps, the women’s auxiliary to
the local GAR post, and secretary of the Massachusetts Relief Corps. She also belonged to a number of other local
civic and philanthropic organizations, including the DAR and the Independent
Order of Good Templars. She was noted
for her public speaking ability.
Sylvester Chamberlain Fay (1825-1891) lived in Southborough,
Worcester County, Massachusetts. S.C.
was the son of Dexter and Sophia Chamberlain Fay. In the 1860 census, he was listed as a
merchant, in 1870 as a collar manufacturer’s agent, and in 1880 as a corset
manufacturer. He married Eliza Bell(e)
Burnett, daughter of Joel and Dolly Bellows Burnett. They had a son Waldo. In 1880, Mrs. Fay was running a boarding
school in Southborough.
SCOPE AND
CONTENT
Consists of bills, shipping receipts, correspondence,
advertising ephemera, notices, business cards, samples of collars (with patent date
of August 14, 1866), and other items relating to the production and
distribution of paper collars and cuffs by the Bay State Paper Collar Company
from 1866-1869. Letters reveal the
slowness of the company in paying its bills.
Box maker S.S. Davis of Nashua, N.H., was often frustrated that the
company had not sent the labels that were needed to go on the boxes his company
was making. Several printed notices
pertain to stopping efforts of the Union Paper Collar Company to monopolize
trade. (During the late 1860s a number
of collar producers banded together and claimed sole patent rights for paper
collars.) Charles D. Elliot was a leader
in the formation of the Paper Collar Manufacturers Association which battled
the Union Paper Collar Co. Elliot
attempted to secure patents himself.
Documents dated 1866 acknowledge receipt of his specifications for the
improvement of paper collars and cuffs.
In 1871, he received a patent for his Kaleidoscope Collar.
Letters and bills bearing the name of S.C. Fay
relate to orders, primarily from retailers, for paper collars and cuffs. Fay, an agent for the Bay State Paper Collar
Co., often sent accounts of his expenses to Elliot with his letters. The majority of the letters to Fay are from S.W.
Ripley who commented about economic conditions, noting when business was dull. (No attempt was made to further identify
Ripley.)
The collection also includes correspondence and
other information pertaining to the Elliot and Ring families. After the closure of the Elliots’ paper
collar business, the brothers pursued careers as engineers, and a little
information about that is found in the collection. Father Joseph Elliot sold his own jellies and
grated horseradish, as evidenced by printed labels. It is not known if he penned the acrostic on
the name of Zenora Tucker. An assortment
of calling cards and trade cards are both personal and business-related.
