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.

A large number of Copperheads Drill here every Saturday. This week they Came out <hr /> and told publicly that they were Drilling to fight for the South. About 30 Miles above here there are 800 enlisted to fight for the South. They say as soon as they can get all they can. they are going through Ills to kill Union Men and burn Property and fight their way through to the South I look every night for my House to be Burned down over my Head, it is a general opinion that they are going to do Some Mischief The are taking the very Same Steps that Kentucky did, I am afraid to let my children go out of my Sight. They call us all sorts of Names, and we are obliged to take it. They have Shot 3 Union Men here close to us. Our Provost Marshall is a Copperhead and wont try to get us any help, and in the Name of God what are we to do, Strawd I don't want you to come and Sacrifice your life, you have too many little ones to look after, but will you use your influence in trying to get us Some help, we must have help soon, or be run over by these Out-Laws, and perhaps Murdered, for they are nothing but a Sett of Murderers. I expect you are ready to Say why don't the Union Men put a Stop to it, well, there is not enough to undertake it, and no Arms to do it We have written to Gov Yates time and again <hr /> but it appears that he will not believe or don't care. I Some times think he is a Copperhead too. Hardly any one will believe what we have to put up with only those who come and See and hear for themselves. Was it not for my little Home I would not Say Here no longer than I Could get to Olney. You may think I am excited and Scared but I am not. what I have told you is all true, and I have not told one third I told Some of them yesterday, if our Property has to Burn there would be coals enough left to kindle theirs with If I have to live this way 3 months longer, I don't know whether I can stand it or not. If we could just have some Soldiers Sent in here the Union Men are ready to give as long as they have anything to eat. They (Copperheads) are afraid of Soldiers. Now don't read this and throw it aside, but send us help if you can. My love to you all write Soon. I don't expect to close my eyes tonight to sleep. it is now 11 P.M. Mrs A.A.

I could prove to them that it would be to their benefit as well as to their Honor to vote for Mr Lincoln you know better than I whether you will Succeed without the Irish votes. or a part of them I will assure your Sir, that a greater part of the Irishmen have the capacity of appreciating the many priveliges they enjoy in America which is denied them in their own land. All I ask <hr /> the recompense I ask is a pass over the roads. You may think this request is absurd "and asks can anything good come out of Nazereth" I must answer as "Franklin did" when he was called upon to [compose?] he wrote "come and see" I have waited to this late day before I could dare to address you.
