Yawman And Erbe Desk
File this under “The way things work.”
On the afternoon of Tuesday, January 29th, 1908, fire broke out in the boiler room of the Alfred Peats Co., manufacturer of exclusive wallpapers. Located in the Loop on Wabash Avenue, the fire quickly rose through several floors and spread to adjacent buildings. In this RPPC view taken while the fire still smoldered, you can see the shop front of Yawman & Erbe, who manufactured desks, file cabinets and other quality furniture for office and libraries. Chances are, if you’re over fifty, you once used one of their card catalogues. Plenty of them show up on eBay, though I knew very little about the company (headquartered in Rochester, NY) until this card tweaked my curiosity.
The YAWMAN name is unique and rare.Most YAWMANS in America are descended from five brothers who, along with their parents and two sisters, chose to leave the rest of their family in France and come to America.Although a German-speaking family, they emigrated from the Lorraine region of France in 1831, entered the United States at the Port of.
Armed with only “…N & ERBE MFG. CO” from the postcard, it’s surprising how easily I was able to piece together the story.
- Plugged the visible portion of the name on the sign into ancestry.com and was taken to a Chicago business directory which gave the company’s full name and address (pre-1909, however, which is when the city reformed its street numbering system)
- Searched for business history on Yawman & Erbe Mfg. Co. and found much about their home office and actual manufacturing site in Rochester, NY
- Used the company’s full name as a search tool at newspapers.com and found the front page coverage the day following the fire in the Chicago Inter-Ocean of Wednesday, January 29th
- YAWMAN & ERBE MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. (DOS ID 98659) is a corporation registered with New York State Department of State (NYSDOS). The initial filling date is January 4, 1956.
- Philip Yawman and Gustav Erbe were both employees of Bausch & Lomb. In 1880, they left that firm to start their own business in Rochester New York. For the greater part of the life of the firm, Yawman & Erbe primarily were involved in the manufacture of office furniture and equipment.

Yet another Chicago disaster interests me for several reasons. First, it’s Chicago and for me that’s sufficient. Second, it involves a company whose products undoubtedly reached northwestern Iowa. Third, they made library equipment and, as Jorge Luis Borges observed “I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.” Fourth, aspiring architect Anson Tennant was eighteen or nineteen years old that year and on the cusp of moving to Chicago to attend the School of the Art Institute. It’s tempting to imagine Anson and his dad James Tennant in Chicago on business or making arrangements for school and actually witnessing the fire. They sometimes stayed in a hotel in that neighborhood. Somehow I feel a story coming on.

I love learning.
Incidentally, the Y&E loses from the fire amounted to $5,000. Their neighbors weren’t so lucky.
Coreldraw for mac os x torrent. Every once in a while, we come across a trade catalog in the Trade Literature Collection that has a label on the front cover. Recorded on that label is date and location information, such as drawer number. We do not use labels such as that to shelve catalogs at the National Museum of American History Library, but I have often wondered if that label played a role in the way that particular catalog was filed in its past life, perhaps before coming to the Trade Literature Collection.
Recently, I came across that label again. This time it was not on the front cover of a catalog. Instead, the label, itself, was a product advertised in a trade catalog from 1908. The catalog is entitled How to File Catalogs Y and E System Series No. 1468 (1908) by Yawman & Erbe Mfg. Co.
It begins with an explanation that catalogs should be organized and filed appropriately so when needed they are easily located instead of “jumbled between division cards on an improvised shelf.” Yawman & Erbe Mfg. Co. offered a catalog filing system using index cards and labels as well as sectional filing cabinets to house the catalogs.
The sectional filing cabinets were available in a variety of sizes because trade catalogs come in a variety of sizes. It was possible to stack different size sections of drawers on top of each other. Sections with small drawers could be stacked on top of sections with large drawers. That way it was easier to store catalogs of all sizes. There was even a section called the Book Stall Section for heavy bound catalogs to stand upright, as shown in the below right illustration.
Yawman And Erbe Company History
The catalog filing system involved card registers, index cards, and gummed labels, similar to the labels sometimes found on catalogs in the Trade Literature Collection. Each size drawer was assigned a different letter, such as A, B, C, etc. Drawers labeled A might have been for small catalogs while drawers labeled C might have been for large catalogs. Each drawer size was assigned a separate series of numbers with corresponding card registers. The card registers included numbered lines for writing the company name, or manufacturer, of each catalog filed in each drawer.

For example, it might have been determined that, due to its size, a particular catalog fit best in a Drawer C. On a card register for Drawer C, the company name of the catalog was written on the next available numbered line, as shown below, and then filed in that spot in the drawer.

Once the catalog was assigned both a drawer and number, a white gummed label was attached to the catalog. In the illustration below, the gummed label is on the upper right corner of the front cover. This particular label noted the date and the location the catalog was assigned to: Drawer C, Number 57.
Next, each catalog was indexed two ways, by company name/manufacturer and by type of products/articles advertised in it.
To index a catalog by company name, a card was completed noting company name, location of catalog in the filing cabinet, and types of products it advertised, as shown in the above illustration. The card was filed alphabetically by company name in the “Dealers” index.
To index a catalog by type of products or “articles” advertised, a different type of card was completed. At the top of each card, a specific product was written on the “Subject” line. There were also lines to record names of companies that sold the product, locations of those catalogs in the filing cabinets, and page numbers where that product was found in the catalogs. The card was filed alphabetically by subject line in the “Articles” index.
