De Mars - Manufacturers of Overalls - 339 Van Brunt Street, Red Hook, Brooklyn

In January 2014 Peter Cronin wrote to share some information about his ancestors the De Mars who lived and manufactured overalls at 339 Van Brunt in Red Hook:

"Lewis DeMars immigrated from Ontario, Canada in the late 1840's and settled in Red Hook. He married Dorinda (Dorothy) Reilly and had three children:

Sarah Ann DeMars: Born about 1848 and married Leonard Seeley in 1866. Leonard was a ship captain that used to move produce from Red Hook to New Jersey. They settled in Red Hook

John DeMars: Born in 1852 and married Maria "Nellie" Berrie in 1875. They also settled in Red Hook on Wolcott street.

Robert Henry DeMars: Born in 1855 and married Mary Jane Quinn. They lived at 339 Van Brunt St. from when he was born until the late 1920's when he passed away."

When did the DeMars establish their business and who was founded it?

Elias Howe, created the first industrially usable sewing machine in 1845. He received a patent for his machine in 1854. Among the people who infringed on his patent was Isaac Merritt Singer. The Singer sewing machine company was founded in 1856. The first commercial sewing machines used in ready to wear clothing appeared around 1860.

Before the advent of the commercial sewing machine men's work clothes were generally make by women at home - a so called cottage industry . There was little or no regularity in the sizes or workmanship. The idea of commercially making work clothes of consistent quality and regulated sizes came into being around 1870. One of the first companies, Sweet, Orr & Co. manufacturers of overalls and a rival of the Demars company, was established in 1871 in Duchess County. The Demars must have established their business around the same time.

In 1865 Lewis Demars was listed without an occupation. He died in 1870. His wife, Dorinda (or Dorothea) Demars, was listed on the 1865 census as a seamstress. In 1870 the two DeMars sons, John and Robert, were listed as "s. m. operators". This could stand for "sewing machine" operators. In 1875 Dorinda was listed as a "needlewoman". There were two other "needlewomen" in the household. The first actual mention of "overalls" was in 1879 when Robert DeMars of 339 Van Brunt was listed as an overall manufacturer. In the 1882, 1884 and 1889 directories Dorinda DeMars was listed as an overall manufacturer. In other years Robert DeMars was listed as an overall manufacturer. I would suggest that Dorinda DeMars had a role in the founding of this business. By 1892 Robert H. Demars clearly had a significant position in the company when he was called "a manufacturer of overalls at 339 Van Brunt street" and was quoted in the New York Times for his opposition to the Republican Parties tariff policies.

By 1903, if not before, the establishment was large enough that they were inspected by the Bureau of Factory Inspection.

339 Van Brunt was used as a polling place between 1906 and 1911. In 1906 and 1908 is was listed as a clothing store. In 1911 it was listed as a factory.

In 1877 there was an overall manufacturer in Indianapolis. This indicates that the concept of mass producing work clothes had spread within a few years.

I can't find specifics about the DeMars factory but certain things can be extrapolated from similar businesses. Almost all references to overall manufacturing indicate that the main employees were women or "girls".

In 1877 Prisoners of Poverty: Women Wage-workers, Their Trades and Their Lives By Helen Campbell stated:

"But it was in the class of work that has always been called "woman's work" that the bureaus found the most beggarly wages paid. A manufacturer of pants, vests, shirts, and overalls testified that he gave from fifteen to thirty-five cents apiece for making vests; seventy-five cents to $1.50 per dozen for shirts, and from twelve and a half cents to twenty-five cents a pair for pants. ........ By working steadily at the machine from six o'clock in the morning until one at night, the seamstress could make twenty-five cents a day at this "shop work."

In 1881 a number of Ulster village girls were working in the overall factory at Newburgh earning from $1 a day upwards.

In 1882 a young woman working in an overall factory in Matawan got her hair caught in the sewing machine shafting which was making revolutions of 360 per minutes. A large portion of her scalp was torn off. A local physician sewed her up and she was said to be in good condition.

In 1890 there were sixty-seven thousand seamstresses in the City of New York who worked in "white goods" mostly ladies and children's clothing! This did NOT include dressmakers, tailoresses, cloak-makers, or operators in the jersey, cap or overall factories. (Italics mine).

In Manheim, Pennsylvania in 1892 a manufacturer of socks and overalls employed 110 girls and boys (mostly girls). 44 of the girls making overalls had their wages raised from 35 cents per dozen to 45 cents per dozen. A very expert girl could sew two dozen pairs of overalls per day. The girls worked 10 hours per day. (Tariff Reform Vol 3-5)

In 1893 about 600 employes of the Sweet, Orr & co. overall factory in Newburgh demanded shorter hours and increased pay. They were asking for a nine hours day and a weekly half-holiday in the summer months. They also demanded an increase in day and piece work. (Piece work was when a worker got paid by the piece instead of by the day. Frequently the worker took home cuttings and sewed them at home for extra wages.)

In 1897 250 girls were at work in an overall factory in Peoria when a hurricane hit - tearing off the roof.

In 1899 150 female overall workers in Binghamton, N. Y. went on strike for better wages. The strikers, who were formerly unorganized, joined the Garment Workers Union.

In 1902 James Orr announced a wage increase to his one hundred female operators at Port Jervis. The women were members of the American Garment Workers Union. The industry was said to be thriving.

In 1905 a young woman (age 17) was working in an overall factory in Manhattan when she was assaulted by a male co-worker. The man, an ironer, made indecent remarks toward her. She struck him on the head with a large wooden spool and stabbed him with a large pair of scissors.

A fire in a overall factory in Binghamton New York in 1913 indicates the danger of work places that contained large quantities of computable material (as did the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911). The accompanying story indicated that most of the workers in the "machine room" where female. Another fire in Harrisburg in 1892 partially wrecked an overall factory on the forth floor of the building. Other businesses on the the second and third floors were ruined. In 1899 an overall factory in Brattleborough Vt was partially damaged by fire - other businesses in the building were destroyed. A fire in 1893 at the drawers and overall factory of Max Juhn & Co in Baltimore stated just after hundreds of workers left the multipurpose, six story building which housed three businesses.

In 1915 ads were placed in Fort Scott, Kansas for GIRLS WANTED - Overall Factory - no experience necessary - short hours pleasant surroundings pay form $5 to $10 per week depending on experience

In 1919 an ad for a MAN WANTED to take charge of an overall factory and develop production was placed in the New York Times.

In 1919 an ad was place in the New York Times by an owner of an established overall factory producing 200 dozen pieces a week wishing to contact a jobber or exporter.

In 1921 a shirt and overall factory, 3 story building equipped with steam heat and steam and electric power was for sale in Duchess Co.

In 1922 it was stated that there were 45,959 male and 13,380 semi skilled operators in suit, coat, cloak and overall factories in New York city.

In 1932 there were 11,398 males and 3,068 females working in suit, coat and overall factories in Brooklyn

Jobs in an overall factory might included: superintendent shipping clerk, manager and assistant manager, machine operators, pressers, tailors, cutters, stitchers, and basters .

Electric sewing machines were not invented until 1889. Prior to that date machines were powered by hand or foot treadles or were steam driven.

A look through the 1900 censes in Ward 12 ED 0169 - the ED in which the Demars were listed - turned up one female "operator sewing machine", single age 18, and quite a few female seamstresses and dressmakers of all ages and marital status. There were no male sewing machine operators and only one tailor. There were no occupations indicating work in an overall factory, except that of Robert H Demars who was listed as an overal manufactuer.

Peter Cronin wrote that his family history says the manufacturing was done on a large scale and was aimed at a mass market, not local consumption.

Peter was told

when Robert operated his hardware store, he made overalls in the back room as well. It was also said that Levi's bought them out, not sure if that is another exaggeration. I don't have any backup documentation regarding this, just a family story. The DeMars did have a summer home in Port Monmouth NJ which was supposedly bought with the money they received from Levi's. The attached picture shows Robert Henry's 4 sons in Port Monmouth. I noticed they were all dressed in suits so I thought that they were well off."

Note: In the 1905 and 1906 lists of the 9th assembly district polling places for ED 7 339 Van Brunt was listed as a "clothing store".

The Clothiers' and Haberdashers' Weekly, Volume 10, 1897 noted that little boys in New York and Brooklyn were wearing blue overalls that looked like miniature versions of laborers overalls.

"coming high up on the breast, with straps over the shoulders. They can be worn over a boy's ordinary clothes or simply with a shirt waist if the day is very warm. They protect a boy's clothes from becoming soiled, can be readily washed and can be used until they are worn into shreds."

Locomotive Engineers were fond of overalls. Another company in Brooklyn, Brotherhood Overalls of Hinsdale Street, Brooklyn made by H. s. Peters and Orr Pantaloon Overalls advertised in the Journal of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Volume 27 in 1893.

H. S. Peters was a former locomotive engineer who quite his post circa 1891 to become a manufacturer of overalls in Brooklyn.

It appears that the company could have started as early as 1870. In the 1915 census Robert H. Demars was listed as an overall manufacturer.

In 1920 Robert H. Demars was listed in the census as a watchman.

In a 1923 Brooklyn Standard Union remembrance of Old Red Hook it was stated that overalls were manufactured in Red Hook by Bob and John DeMars on Van Brunt street long before "Sweet-Orr, Keystone or any other of those other firms were in existence." It also mentioned J. M. Oberhoffer at Van Brunt and Coffey streets.

James Orr, senior member of the "Swett", Orr & Co,. overall factories in Wappinger's Fall, New York and Newburgh died at his home age 79 in 1899. A pioneer in the business he amassed a large fortune. He was survived by his wife and four children.

Clinton W. Sweet accidentally shot and killed himself in September 1917. Mr. Sweet born in Wappinger's Falls December 16, 1842 established the first of nine overall factories with his brother and uncle in 1871. It was claimed to be the first overall factory in America. His partner was James Orr, a tailor, who came up with the idea of "never-rip" overalls. The company expanded to Newburgh in 1880.

The 1886 map shows a 25 foot wide wood frame structure with two wood outbuildings at 339 Van Brunt. It is pretty much the same in 1916.

Kentucky Jean

In 1952 it was mentioned that the DeMars were making "Kentucky Jeans". In fact, it is more likely that the material they were using to make the overalls was Kentucky Jean" (no "s" at the end).

In 1908 the Dictionary of Men's Wear defined Kentucky Jeans as "a superior quality of jeans". Further it defined "Jean" as "a stout, round-twilled cloth, either all-cotton or cotton warp with wool filling; of various grades and finishes; used primarily for working trousers."

"A fabric with a cotton warp and a wool filling and in which a sateen weave is employed so that the cotton warp is almost entirely on the back is called a satinet or Kentucky jean."

(America's Textile Reporter: For the Combined Textile Industries, Volume 19)

In 1858 Woolen goods manufactured in Philadelphia included: Cassimeres, Satinets, Kentucky Jeans, Shawls, Flannels and Linseys.

1877:

"If every man was required to have a couple of jumpers and a pair of overalls made of strong cotton-stuff, like Kentucky jean, or denim, they would work with greater freedom, and save their more expensive clothing"

(Seamanship: Comp. from Various Authorities, and Illustrated with Numerous ... By Stephen Bleecker Luce)

BLUE KENTUCKY JEAN. (A. M. M.) Kentucky jean is better known as blue denims or blue hickory shirting in the drygoods stores, where it is known as the goods used for workingmen's shirts, "jumpers" and overalls. It commends itself to decorative art work on account of its texture, color, inexpensiveness, and the fact that it softens into a pleasant blue by repeated washings. Ask for blue denims and you will easily obtain it."

(The Art Interchange, Volumes 14-17, 1885)

In 1886 Men's Kentucky Jean pants sold for 75 cents.

In 1895 the Montgomery Ward Catalogue advertised Kentucky Jean by the yard. Prices per yard ranged from 10 cents to 40 cents for the "all wool".

IN 1897 Sear Roebuck advertised

"Wool Filled Kentucky Jeans, the Triumph brand, 27 inches wide, a good firm cloth aud will give utmost satisfaction to the wearer, colors light and dark gray , medium brown and black. Per yard 80.21 No. 22611

As well as "Very Heavy Kentucky Jean" and "mixed Kentucky Jean"

In the pre Civil War South, Kentucky Jean was a course homespun cloth made of a blend of cotton, flax and burlap.

"Overall Factory was established in the fall of 1871 by the present firm, which is composed of Clayton E. Sweet, James Orr and Clinton W. Sweet for the manufacture of overalls, sack coats and jackets. Operations were commenced on the west side of the creek on an upper floor of Stevenson & Barlow's tin store with less than a dozen machines and operators. But the excellence of their goods soon created a demand which necessitated increased facilities and substitution of steam for foot power. Consequently the works were removed in 1872 to the building on Mill street occupied by the Chronicle office. But these humble quarters were soon outgrown, and the building with its subsequent additions is now 100 by 112 feet, the rear and main portion, including the operating rooms, being three stories high, while the number of machines has increased to 195, and the number of operators to 300, fully two-thirds of whom are females.
