Note
The
Trenton Calico Printing Manufactory of Bloomsbury (South Trenton)
was incorporated in 1828 by John B. Sartori and P. A. Hargous for
the purpose of "manufacturing and printing wool, cotton, silk,
flax, and hemp." In 1836, the company was reorganized as the
Union Manufacturing Company by Dr. John McKelway, Thomas J. Stryker,
and Xenophon J. Maynard. Stryker (who was, incidentally, the father
of Adjutant General William S. Stryker), apparently soon held the
largest interest in the company. In 1849, when the calico print
works was sold to John Shepherd, Stryker was still listed as trustee.
The records in this collection date from Stryker's active period,
1836 to 1840, with a few miscellaneous items for later years. A
file of research materials is also included at the front of the
box.
