Brown and Bro Papers<CR><CR>The collection is comprised of some of the correspondence and business papers concerning the Brown's Sail Loft in Winona, Maryland. Included are many sail plans for work and recreational boats. These papers were retrieved by museum staff from the derelict sail loft with the permission of the owner. Many are damaged or, deteriorated.Biographical BackgroundAlbert E. Brown and Bro/ sail.1oft~:~was located at Wenona, on the southern tip of the island. The Loft was founded in 1870 by Capt. John Stubbs. In 1890 he was bought out by Henry Brown, born in England, and who served as a seaman in the Royal Navy. He learned the art of sailmaking when he came to the United States during the Civil War and joined the United States Navy.Henry constructed the present building. When he retired in 1919 his son Albert took over the sail loft. Albert's son Henry, in turn, started at the loft when he was 12 years old and took over the business in 1956. Henry G. Brown retired about 1980 and the building has stood empty ever since. In 1986 the old sail loft changed hands.In its heyday, the business was one-of the region's leading sailmakers and had a reputation for old-fashioned, quality workmanship. Orders for sails came from all across the country and from overseas.Scope and ContentThis material represents those papers that were salvagable and that remained in the sail loft after the business had closed. They give considerable insight into the operation of one of the country's most well-known sailmakers.The majority of the papers are correspondence written to the sail loft concerning orders for sails, frequently accompanied by a sail plan and an estimate. Of value are a number of sail plans for the oyster dredging fleet, that the loft kept on file for repeat orders, and letters concerning well-known Bay yachts. Many of these boats have long since disappeared. Sail Loft Amps (1923 - 1974)Brown Papers, p 2An index of boats is available.Correspondence was filed under boat name where it was known, and by correspondent's last name if-no specific boat was mentioned (except for one" design boats which are filed under class name).Other papers include"account books and miscellaneous business papers which provide an overview of 1"the finances of a traditional sailmaking business.Sub'ectsSailmaking Subject: Albert E.

Part of this collection is in CSC FF 59. Part of this collection is on CSC 16B1.Wm. H. Valliant & Bro. Company and Valliant Cash Store Business Records (1830-1962). The collection is comprised largely of account books of the Wm. H. Valliant & Bro. Company, including a number of checks and check stubs, with several volumes of records pertaining to both Wm.H. Valliant & Bro. Co. and to the Valliant Cash Store (sometimes referred to as the Valliant Cash Market). Both businesses were located in Bellevue, Maryland. Miscellaneous items include legal documents pertaining to the purchase of land in Talbot County, MD by the ancestors of William H. Valliant, as well as company letterhead and can labels.Biographical BackgroundThe Wm. H. Valliant & Bro. Company was started in 1895 by William H. Valliant (1871-1949) in Bellevue, Maryland, and ceased trading in 1949. His brother, Jeremiah, was an oyster packer in Oxford, and although the brothers were never partners, the company traded as Wm. H. Valliant and Brother. Their father, Samuel R. Valliant, was an oyster packer in Double Mills, and traded as S. R. Valliant & Son. Win. H. Valliant & Bro. was one of the largest seafood packers on the Eastern Shore, and the largest employer in Talbot County, at one time. The company was also heavily involved in vegetable canning, fertilizer, oyster shell lime, and slag. A small fleet of boats was operated by the company.The Valliant Cash Store was located near the packing plant and also owned by the Valliant family, in particular Wm. H. Valliant, Jr.. At one time a number of houses were owned by the family and rented to workers at the plant. Bellevue was in essence Talbot County's "company town.For further information, see oral history files 19, 25, and 28; and R.
