Author: Fay, Maria.
Title: Diary, 1835 May 19-June 18.
Description: 1v.
Notes: The daughter of Harriet Howard and Judge Samuel
Prescott Phillips Fay, Maria Fay lived in Cambridge,
Mass.,
and was educated at the Ursuline Convent at Mt. Benedict
in
Charlestown, Mass. In 1835 the family moved to what came
to
be called Fay House, which currently houses the
administrative offices of the Radcliffe Institute for
Advanced Study. One of seven children, Maria did not
marry
and remained at home with her parents in their home which
was
a center of social life in Cambridge. She remained there
until 1859, following the death of her mother in 1847 and
her
father in 1856. In 1885 she sold the house to the Society
for the Collegiate Instruction of Women, the precursor of
Radcliffe College and the Radcliffe Institute.

State to Niagara Falls, continuing to Montreal, Quebec
City,
Saint John, New Brunswick, and returning via Ticonderoga
and
Northampton to Boston. Traveling by stage, canal boat,
and
steamer, Fay describes the towns, landscapes, and
accommodations she encounters, including visits to Auburn
Prison (Auburn, N.Y.) and H�tel-Dieu (Montreal). She
traveled with five companions; a list of expenses is
included. Fay's name does not appear in the diary;

Author: Fay, S.C.
Title: Papers, 1866-1871.
Description: 1 linear ft.
Notes: S.C. Fay was an agent for A.L. Elliot & Co., J.
Elliot & Son, and the Bay State Collar Co., all
manufacturers
of paper collars and cuffs. S.W. Ripley seems to have
worked
either for or with Fay. Although the firms were
headquartered in Cambridge, MA, business dealings in New
York, Pawtucket, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Richmond, and
points between are documented.
Consists of bills, advertising ephemera, notices,
business cards, correspondence, and other items relating
to
the production and distribution of paper collars and
cuffs.
Samples of collars that bear a patent date of August 14,
1866
are also included. Several printed notices pertain to
stopping efforts of the Union Paper Collar Company to
monopolize trade. (During the late 1860s a number of
collar
producers banded together and claimed sole patent rights
for
paper collars.) Elliot was a leader in the formation of
the
Paper Collar Manufacturers Association which battled the
Union Paper Collar Co. Elliot attempted to secure patents
himself. Documents dated 1866 acknowledge receipt of his
specifications for the improvement of paper collars and
cuffs. In 1871, he received a patent for his Kaleidoscope
Collar.
Letters and bills bearing Fay's name relate to
orders, primarily from retailers, for paper collars and
cuffs. Fay often sent accounts of his expenses to Elliot
with his letters. The majority of the letters to Fay are
from Ripley who commented about economic conditions,
noting
when business was dull.
