Excerpt from The Leading Business Men of Dover, Rochester, Farmington, Great Falls and Berwick
The boot and shoe industry has been and is another potent factor in the building up of the town and city, it having attained large proportions since its introduction in 1847. In fact, when the busi ness is good, more hands are employed in this than in any other local industry and the very magnitude of the trade prevents our giving it the attention it deserves, for were we to make anything like detailed mention Of each of the houses engaged in it, the limits Of our space would be far exceeded. As far back as 1854 there were eight shoe factories in town, some of which were very large for that period, and at the present time Dover has some establishments of this kind that will compare favorably With any in the State.
