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.

State of Iowa Surgeon General's Office Feb 19th 1863 Dear Governor, I had hoped ere this to have so far recovered my health as to have been able to have made a short trip at least, South. But I am yet unable to be about. I ventured out a week or more ago. but "seeing my shadow" returned to await more favorable weather. When I should try it again my Rheumatics, which- still lingers with me will determine. I received a letter day before yesterday from my brother. (The only one I have) a Capt in the 46th Ills regiment Co H who has been associated with this Regt first as Lieutenant and then Capt ever since its organization. He has always been a Republican but no abolitionist- but an out and out uncompromising Union man. Has been in three battles. Donelson <hr /> Pittsburg & Hatchee. In which I am told he acquitted himself most honourably. In his letter, to my astonishment he asks to be placed in command of a Negro Regiment, should the bill pass which he has no doubt of. He is satisfied that there is fight in them, and when well drilled will make good soldiers. He asks me to use my influence in securing him an appointment and asks that it be in one of the first regiments organized. And suggests that should be he fail with Governor Yates,. would not Gov Kirkwood give him an Iowa regiment. He is a resident of Lane Ogle Co Ills. resigned the position of Sheriff of the County and accepted a Lieutenancy in the 46th. These facts before you I wish you to give me a letter to Gov Yates such as your feelings in the matter dictate.

Paris, Edgar County, Jan. 26th 1863 Governor Yates Honorable and dear Sir. I trust it will not be looked upon by your honor as impertinent for an old acquaintance and friend - thoug humble to address, on matters of public interest, the chief magistrate of the State. Be assured dear Sir, that to your wise and patriotic executive Skill, in piloting our noble Ship of State safely through the terriffic storm now rappidly gath ering its forces, is turned every pa- triotic eye, and under god, the hope of every Christian heart, that our great State shall not be handed over bound hand and foot, to its unscrupu lous foe. Though the gathering tempest will doubtless culminate at Springfield, yet the agencies which give Strength and courage to that aggregate of political madness and treason, under the name of the Legislature, are abroad in every county, and in every School district, doing their utmost to inaugurat a reign of terror, here like <hr /> that which has hung as the pall of death over Missouria, desolating her cities, towns and firesides. I have viewed the prog- ress of these movements with the deepest Solicitude for the quiet, and Safety of our State! Living in the midst of a community, a large majority of whom are either open or Secret Sympathisers with the Southern rebellion we have the op- portunity to See and hear much that indicates their purpose. A large and noisy meeting was held at the courthouse in Paris on Saturday last, at which the most undisguised treason found utter ence in Speeches and the adop- tion of resolutions, which I leave for others to report. The ears of loyal men were insulted by repeated hooras for Jeff Davis, and Bouregard on our Streets. The bold- ness and animus of these move ments are creating Serious ap prehensions in the minds of loyal citizens where we have not the means of self protection. While we have no doubt that <hr /> you are watching with the utmost vigilance every movement of the el- ements that are under your eye yet the evil is ubiquitous through the State, and the friends of the union must be your eyes and ears in remote neighborhoods. It does not require the sagasity of a prophet or philosopher, to detect the ultimate designe of this move- ment; it is too obvious to be mis- taken; but we hope under the blessings of God, and by the wis dom of the true men of the legislature backed up by the loyal men of the State you will be able to avert the Storm and Save our State from the dreadful maelstrum of Secession. I do not consider myself capable of Suggesting any remedy to one whose enlightened Statesmanship, and watchful patriotism are unquestionable But I can assure you of the moral support of the Christian public, and especially Christian ministers in a determined opposition to the efforts of an unscrupulous majority in the legislature to Sell the State <hr /> to a barbarous Slave driving confederacy. Every [otter?] of religion in our State. Every peaceful fireside, and every principle of humanity, imploringly appeal to the sober thoughtfulness of true men in this our danger. I am no alarmist, but I verily believe that the loyal men of this state must meet this treasonable movement of this min ions of Jeff Davis with just Such weapens as will be Suc cessful in putting a quietus upon it, before it culminates in Civil war, or the Scenes of Missouria are to be renacted in Illinoise. Now my dear Sir, permit me in conclusion to say that you have the entire confidence of the loyal men of this part of the State in both par ties, and you have the prayers of Christians for your personal happi ness and official triumph over traitors.

[Translation.] Paris, May 25, 1865. Gentlemen: There are names which explain the condition of a country, and Mr. Lincoln’s is one of them. The illustrious citizen who protested against slavery and assassination has fallen a victim to fanaticism. In dedicating this day a sprig of anemone to the memory of your glorious martyr, thus joining in the prayers of thousands, be assured that my heart also protests against assassination, whatever may be its motive, and particularly against that of which you yourselves, together with your friends, came near being the victims. Mr. Lincoln placed entire confidence in you, gentlemen, and you may believe that a poor French workingman feels intense satisfaction in your speedy recovery, because he sees in it a determination on your part to finish the task begun by President Lincoln, and to attend more devotedly to the cause of the slaves liberated by your blood and his. May peace hereafter preside over your noble efforts. J. C. LUSINE,   No. 26, Bernard street, Paris. UN RAMEAU D’IMMORTELLE. Lincoln, grand citoyen, fils de la liberté, Intègre magistrat, vertu digne d’Homère; Toi qui n’oublias point ton bereeau ni ta mère, Gloire de l’Amérique et de l’humanité! Ton devoir est rempli: Ton ombre avec fierté Voir l’esclavage en vain quêter un victimaire, II n’a pris que ton corps; le crime est éphémère... Ton &oelig;uvre à toi s’envole à I’immortalité! Aussi, comme une femme au fruit de ses entrailles, Le Sud au Nord uni pleure à tes funérailles: Ton sang dicte la paix au peuple fier géant! Reçois done, ô martyr de la liberté sainte, Des travailleurs Français dans le deuil et la plainte: Un rameau d’immortelle à travers l’océan! J. C.
