摘要

1854年,东部男子在明尼苏达州主要的木材城镇斯蒂尔沃特组织了赫西,斯台普斯公司。把在缅因州获得的能源、伐木经验、商业贸易知识以及缅因州和马萨诸塞州的资金带到这个商业冒险中,赫西、斯台普斯和公司的四个合伙人发起了一个企业,引起了整个地区商人的注意。该公司成为圣克罗伊三角洲最大的松林所有者,是明尼苏达州木材出口排名第一的地区原木和木材的主要生产商,该地区最好的磨坊的经营者,原木和木材的批发商和零售商,boom公司,水坝公司和杂货店的部分所有者,后来成为铁路和银行的推动者。虽然只有一个合伙人成为明尼苏达州的居民,但其他合伙人在他们公司所在的社区都很有名。这家公司现存的记录很少,但可以发现的经营历史说明了50年代在西方经营木材业务的普遍问题。

Hersey, Staples and Company, 1854 – 1860: Eastern Managers and Capital in Frontier Business
Hersey, Staples and Company was organized by eastern men in 1854 to carry on a business in Stillwater, leading lumber town in Minnesota Territory. Bringing to this business venture on the energy, experience lumbering acquired in Maine, knowledge of the mercantile trade, and capital from Maine and Massachusetts, the four partners of Hersey, Staples and Company initiated an enterprise that gained the attention of businessmen throughout the Territory. The firm became the largest owner of pinelands in the St. Croix Delta, a leading producer of logs and lumber in an area that ranked first in lumber exportation in Minnesota, operator of the finest mill in the Territory, wholesaler and retailer of logs and lumber, part owner in boom companies, dam companies, and a general store, and later, promoter of railroads and banks. Although only one partner became a resident of Minnesota, the others were favorably known in the community in which their business was located. Few of the records of the company are extant, but the history of operations that can be discovered illuminate the general problems of running a lumber business in the West in the 'fifties.
