Joseph A. Taichert Company records, 1921-1966.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/272407090

The Joseph A. Taichert Company records span the years 1921 to 1966. The collection consists of letters, telegrams, customer invoices, appraisal certificates, vendor invoices, consignee invoices, consignee correspondence, inventory records, inventory count ledgers, bank statements, sales receipts, warehouse records, customer account ledgers, and blueprints. The Taichert Company utilized government programs that sought to support the price of wool and other vital materials during the Second World War and beyond, which were administered through Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC). This agency operated under the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Taichert Company participated in the CCC programs from 1943 through 1947. This activity is included in the Individual and Corporate Correspondence series. Other items of note are attributable to the apparel business during wartime. Within the Operational Records, there are attached certificates from the War Production Board issued by wholesale vendors. Stamped messages also conveyed this information to wartime buyers. These sought to inform retailers that the items were produced within wartime production guidelines that limited the quantity of fabrics used in apparel making, as well as other essential supply items during World War II. Individual correspondents include Homer Pickens, Elliott Barker, T.D. Burns, and Dennis Chavez. Of note among the general correspondence are appeals from Milton Taichert concerning the plight of European Jews in 1945, near the end of the Second World War. They address the need to raise money for famine relief for victims rescued from European concentration camps. Also included among the correspondence are items from many apparel vendors and fur merchandisers based in the Midwestern and eastern United States.
