For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource J. C. Capps & Sons, LTD Collection Subject The topic of the resource Capps, Joseph Meyer, M. S. Men's clothing industry Clothing trade Illinois--Jacksonville Manufacturing industries Capps, Robert Capps, Harry Description An account of the resource Joseph Capps and his sons founded the Jacksonville Woolen Mills in 1839. They began making men’s pants in 1885 and were incorporated as J. Capps & Sons, Ltd. in 1886 as a manufacturer of textiles and men’s clothing. Capps came to Jacksonville from Kentucky where he had learned the trade of wool carding in Louisville. Most farmers had sheep and did carding of the wool and home manufacture of yarns for knitting and weaving. Capps carding plant eliminated this tedious and time consuming process from the farmer’s duties. By 1852 Capps produced and marketed a finished wool cloth and during the Civil War they produced blankets and overcoats. Joseph died in 1872 and his sons, Stephen, William, Joseph, and Alfred took over the business. In 1885 there were very few men’s clothing stores, but the Capps started making pants and their salesman started selling pants to retail stores instead of cloth. By the 1890’s they were making suits. Around the turn of the century they started making blankets for the Indians on western reservations which were then sold as Indian blankets. After advertising in Saturday Evening Post, they became popular with the general population but the company quit making blankets in 1915. In 1904 the old buildings were renovated and a new factory was built. The sale of cloth was down but the production and sales of men’s suits grew rapidly. In the 1920’s the company started buying much of the wool they were using in their suits. During the Spanish-American War and World War I, Capps produced uniforms for the military. During World War II they made “pea coats” and the Navy awarded the company a “Certificate of Achievement”. Robert Capps, the son of Alfred Capps, had planned to go to medical school but he joined the Army when America entered WWI. When he came back, he went to work for the family business as a salesman in Wisconsin and in 1944 he became the company president. The original mill closed in 1927 and was torn down several years later. In the 1940’s Capps built a new one story factory. They started a business in 1937, Robert’s Tailoring Company, with Harry Capps as president, but it was unsuccessful and in 1942 it was liquidated. The company celebrated its 125th anniversary in 1964, with Robert still acting as president. The company was the most long lived manufacturing company in Illinois. Robert died in 1968 and ten years later the company closed. Still Image A static visual representation. Examples of still images are: paintings, drawings, graphic designs, plans and maps.

Needs Review Transcription A written representation of a document or a page. Aurora Ills Oct 30th 1862 Hon Richd Yates I am somewhat out of sorts in relation to an act of our Adjutant General, Lt Col Joslyn of the 36th Reg left his regiment on the 1st of August last and resigned his commission, since which time he has been busily engaged at work for the Democratic Party. When last in Springfield you informed me that Capt Jenks was to have his place and his commission should issue as soon as notice was received that his resignation was accepted. We believe that Gen Fuller wrote as he told me he would write in relation to it. If he has requested that he should be retained he has done another mean thing. Joslyn received <hr /> his order on Friday last to report to his Regt on Saturday he presided over a Democratic Convention in this County, [then?] Monday he [illegible] from the Paymaster in Chicago over $1200 and at night made a [dirty?] speech for Sherman. He is to make another tomorrow night in Chicago. All of this may be right but we do not see it. I have been in DeKalb County for the past three days and our prospects are bright. Sincerly Yours &c Ira A.W. Buck <hr /> Ira A.W. Buck. Aurora, Ill. Oct. 30. Concerning Lt. Col. Joslyn of 36th Regt; thinks Adjt Gen. Fuller has not done right in not appointing Capt. Jenks to his place: Joslyn has been around making democratic speeches for Sherman &c. &c (File) Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Now I cannot be charged with having any personal preferences for Col Bronson, for I never have seen him in my life. I only felt with Hundreds of others that Joslyn was entirely unfit to have charge of a Regiment. That he was an unmitigated Copperhead and had been disgracefully dismissed from the 36th Regt of Ills; Vols; for which see Genl Fullers report. I can readily understand why the men you mention were so strong for him Genl Fuller is under obligations to the Joslyn family, and all of his friends of course came to the rescue. But public opinion sustains you in thus gallantly refusing to make him Col. <hr /> Now in relation to the other portion of your letter in regard to the Senatorship, Now I have never yet been truthfully charged with deserting my friends And in your case it would be the largest ingratitude on my part. You are entitled from me all of my efforts and influence to place you in that position. And God knows it will be cheerfully given.

Illinois Sate Penitentiary Commissioners Office Joliet, July 23 1864 Dear Governor, I several Days ago received a letter from you, requesting the names of prominent Union men in my own and neighboring counties.

Rock Island Ills August 27th 1861 Hon Richard Yates Dear Govr. Permit me to recall to your acquaintance my friend John B. Hawley Esq. whom I had the pleasure of introducing to you at our last State Convention, but whom you may not now recollect, inasmuch as he informs me that he has not since then had the pleasure of meeting you. I am sure however that he is not unknown to you by reputation, either as one of our most able and successful lawyers, or as one of our most <hr /> prominent and popular citizens. His visit to Springfield is one of reconnoissance, and if a favorable opportunity offers, would like a military commission in some one of the regiments now being formed in the State. If any such position is now open for this section of the state, I know of no one more competent therefor than Mr Hawley. Altho' not a military man by education, he has given the sciences much attention, and in my judgement, would fulfil the duties of any position in a regiment, with credit to the State and its service, as well as to himself. Instead of a mere introd- <hr /> uction (which i am frequently called upon by my neighbors to present you) I would seek to interest you especially in my friend Hawley - and if you can consistently aid him, I am persuaded you will find it agreeable to do so. Your attentions will not only be well deserved but kindly appreciated, and of yr assistance to him will place me under renewed obligations to you Very truly Your friend Ira D.

Rock Island January 18th 1864 Dear Governor: Your kind letter informing me of the applications for the post of Sutler in Rock Island and tendering your kind offices in the matter, adds much to the weight of obligation I am already under to you. The position of Sutler is now held by Mr Albert C Dart, of this city, under appointment of Col Rusch late commandant of Col Johnson the present commandant of the Barracks, and which appointment is as I suppose, now on file in the War Department for the indorsement of the Secretary. Mr Dart is one of the very best and most reliable business men, and active working republicans in our city, and is iminently deserving of the place. His application was based on the request of the leading business men of the city, and his discharge of the duties of the position has met the unqualified acceptance of the officers in charge and all others concerned. For his sake I should be highly gratified to have his appointment approved and his commission issued. <hr /> Besides, let me add confidentially, that I have a personal interest, which would be very materially promoted by his permanent appointment to the place. Consequently, the exercise of your influence in his behalf, in such manner as in your judgment will most effectively serve to obtain his appointment and commission, at an early day, will very greatly oblige me, And this I would make free to ask of you as an especial personal favor. The uncertainty that now rests upon the matter interferes very considerably with the business arrangements of Mr Dart and myself for the future. It would be a real pleasure to me to avail myself of your kind invitation to visit you at Springfield and I shall seek an opportunity to do so. At present my court is in session here, and will occupy me for a fortnight or so. After that I know not what may "turn up" Remember me to Mrs Y. and believe me as Ever Your friend Ira O.
