Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the lives and working conditions of shop assistants in the late 19th century and early 20th century.

The author also highlights the growing disparity between the small, independent traders and the emerging corporate giants, who increasingly dominated the retail landscape. The book provides a valuable historical perspective on the experiences of shopworkers, shedding light on the exploitation and hardship faced by those who served the growing consumer culture of the time.

Introduction and General Sketch, II. Wages, III. Hours of Labour, IV. Unemployment and Under-employment, V. Living-in, VI. Towards Reform, VII. Shop Hours Legislation in Other Countries, Appendices, Index. ***The Appendices include a number of detailed tables listing the Wages of Shop Assistants around the country. ***'During the last few years considerable attention has been devoted by social reformers to the investigation of the conditions of labour in shops, stores, cafés, and refreshment rooms and public houses; and from time to time leaflets, pamphlets and booklets have been published throwing much light on the subject. The Press, also, in late years, has lent considerable assistance to shopworkers in reporting their meetings and in publishing articles bearing on different aspects of shop life. ***All this has been useful work, the value of which must not be under-estimated. It seemed clear, however, that there was great need for the co-ordination of the work that has already been done, and for a fuller and more systematic investigation of the actual conditions at the present time. Pamphlets and newspaper articles are very good so far as they go, but they do not enable us to obtain knowledge anything like so comprehensive as that gathered in studying the subject as presented in book-form. To meet the twofold need indicated above, we have worked some considerable time, and now venture to submit to shopworkers and those interested in shop life, the results of our labours.' [Quote taken from the authors' Preface, Long Millgate, Manchester, August 6th, 1910] ***First impression of the true first edition, privately published, and signed by one of the authors, in complete, collectable condition. Of interest to social historians and collectors of uncommon antiquarian titles. *** For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
