What happens when a community loses its newspaper?
Precisely at 10 a.m., on January 21, 1993, Donald R. Dwight, whose family’s ties to the newspaper went back more than 50 years, strode into the newsroom with other senior executives and summoned everyone to gather close. He looked stricken as he delivered the news to the assembled staff, people he regarded more as family than employees. His message: After 110 years as Holyoke’s only daily newspaper—“Your Hometown Newspaper,” declared the words beneath the paper’s masthead—the end had come.
“Things change,” Dwight would write in a front-page column in that afternoon’s final edition. “A city changes. And now this newspaper changes. Change is not always either good or bad, but all change contains loss within it.”
Dwight outlined a plan to convert the newspaper with roots predating the Civil War to a weekly, which would save a few jobs. He even called it a “return to its founding tradition,” a reference to its birth as a weekly cranked out on a hand press in 1849. Clinging to that hope, publisher Murray D. Schwartz told the staff, “This isn’t the traditional story of the death of a newspaper.
The Modern Tailors – Part 3: Russ Gater, Heritage Research ...
UK-based Heritage Research makes clothes for men and women with an eye on the past, and a modern day aesthetic. With the goal of creating classic, well crafted clothing, as opposed to mass produced “generic slickness”, the designer’s goal is to create a collection with character, warmth and imperfection. All of the fabrics HR uses are specifically woven for Heritage Research in the UK or Japan using traditional methods and looms, and all HR garments are handmade in England, under one roof, by skilled craftsmen and women. There is no production line, the emphasis is on quality not quantity. Creative Director Russ Gater tells us more, and weighs in on the modern tailoring movement.
WATM: How do you explain the relatively recent emergence of neo-traditional menswear?
That’s a difficult question which I think can be best explained by Malcolm Gladwell’s Tipping Point theory. I don’t necessarily think there’s an abundance of men out there who suddenly started to care about the beauty of a certain cloth or whether they have shank cuffs on their jacket, I think there were a small number of guys 3 or 4 years ago who started to react against the disposable nature of contemporary fashion and looked to traditional garments, cloth and tailoring as an antidote to this. These outsiders were noticed by elements within the industry and their look was adopted by niche brands which in turn allowed brands that had been around doing this unnoticed for years to come back into focus, more people then became aware of this look and watered it down as their own look. As the fashion industry is increasingly transitory this ‘look’ took off quickly and now in the UK especially has almost reached saturation point already with high street retailers making cheap copies and versions of garments that fit into this neo traditionalist concept. I think the look is popular right now because men haven’t had an opportunity to look smart for a long time. For the past 20 years style has been immersed in casual clothing, now looking smarter and sharp is cool so it offers men something that most haven’t experienced before....
“Bonny Charley” Textile Elicits Search for Provenance ...
Fabric often featured similar countryside scenes related to this same theme of changing seasons of the year. The main design is enclosed within a center circle and shows a handsome suitor in buckled shoes strolling with a maiden wearing an apron. This central medallion area is set off by a bead-like line composed of conjoined small circles that creates a visual division that separates it from the four corner scenes (labeled with the individual names of the four seasons) on this 28″ square piece of cloth.
A rare textile, possibly from the late 18th century or early 19th century
Beneath the featured couple appear the lyrics to a three verse song titled “Bonny Charley.” My research reveals that the score for this song (for piano and voice) was collected by Lester S. Levy, a sheet music collector who donated his entire collection to John Hopkins University. In citations found on the university’s website, it is revealed that the composer/writer is not known and that this ephemera that consists of two pages may have an English provenance as do others in Box 29-31 in the collection.
