# Ludwig Baumann and Company

Ludwig Baumann and Company (Ludwig Baumann & Co.) was a prominent American home furniture chain in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. At its peak, it was the largest furniture provider in the United States.

## History

Bohemian immigrant brothers Ludwig Baumann and Albert Baumann opened a small New York City furniture store named Baumann Brothers in 1876. However, the partnership between Ludwig and Albert dissolved in 1888. Ludwig then opened his own furniture store under the name Ludwig Baumann & Company which quickly grew into one of the largest furniture providers in New York City specializing in quality and affordable home furniture.
In 1897, Ludwig Baumann & Co. opened its flagship store on West 35th Street & 8th Avenue which was the largest New York retail furniture store at that time. Construction of the 8th Avenue store was completed by architect Albert Wagner at a cost of around $175,000, the equivalent of about $6,200,000 in 2023. After Ludwig's death in 1904, the company passed to his son Sidney J. Baumann. During this time, Ludwig Baumann & Co. opened outlets across the New York City area earning the reputation of "America's Greatest Furniture House." Following the death of Sidney in 1936, the company passed to his son Walter S. Baumann. Ludwig Baumann & Co. continued to expand by opening additional outlets across the country and selling new goods such as men's and women's apparel. The company also continued to boast record sales with over $15,000,000 in 1947, the equivalent of over $200,400,000 in 2023. Ludwig Baumann & Co. was ultimately purchased by Spear & Co. in 1952 creating the largest furniture provider in the United States at that date. Spear & Co. closed Ludwig Baumann's flagship 8th Avenue store in 1954 before selling off other Ludwig Baumann stores shortly thereafter.

## Notable Innovations

Ludwig Baumann & Co. pioneered the instalment payment method for retail purchases. The company's "liberal credit system" extended a line of credit to consumers who previously could not afford retail furniture and then had them pay off the credit in small weekly payments. The New York Tribune estimated that as of 1897 there were at least 100,000 Ludwig Baumann & Co. credit customers. The instalment payment method was credited for the early success of the company. Ludwig Baumann & Co. was also a first to utilize mail order which revolutionized retail sales.

# Kangi-in

Kangi-in (歓喜院) is a Buddhist temple in Kumagaya, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. It was founded in 1179 and is affiliated with the Kōyasan Shingon-shū sect of Buddhism. The temple's Shōden Hall (聖天堂, shōden-dō) was designated as a Japanese National Treasure in 1984. It is the only building in Saitama to have been designated as a national treasure.

## History

The temple is said to have been built in 1179 by Saito Sanemori, a military leader under Minamoto no Yoshitomo who later fought for the Taira clan in the Genpei War. He enshrined an image of the god Kangiten (also known as Shōten or Shōden) in the hall that became Kangi-in. When Saito was killed in the Genpei War, his second son, Sanenaga founded Kangi-in as a temple to oversee the hall where his father had placed the image. The hall is open for public worship and there is a separate hall used for the religious instruction of priests.
Shōden Hall was built in the Gongen style with an inner, middle, and exterior hall for worship. After a fire destroyed an earlier structure in 1670, master carpenter Hayashi Masakiyo began work on the three halls in 1735, and his son completed the project in 1760.
There are three gates leading to Kangi-in. The first gate, Kisōmon, was built in 1851 by a local craftsman, Hayashi Masamichi.

## Present day

In 2010, the Agency for Cultural Affairs renovated the temple at the cost of 1.3 billion yen.
# Lancashire Box, Packing Case and General Woodworkers' Society

The Lancashire Box, Packing Case and General Woodworkers' Society (LBPCGW) was a long-lived trade union in England, principally representing workers involved in making wooden boxes in the Manchester area.

## History

The union was founded in 1825 as the Manchester and Salford Trunk and Packing Case Makers' Friendly, Relief and Burial Society. Initially, all members had to have completed an apprenticeship in the trade, and to agree not to undertake piecework. Because most of the boxes made were for textile products, the union worked closely with those in the cotton trade, rather than other unions of woodworkers.
Membership of the union remained very small for many years: only 161 in 1849, and 360 in 1899. It tried to broaden its membership base, becoming the Manchester, Salford and Bolton Wood Packing Case Makers' Society in 1892, and unsuccessfully trying to recruit workers in the trade on lower wages in both 1900 and 1905. These workers instead formed a rival Manchester and Salford Wood Packing Case Makers (No 2 Society), which finally merged into the original union in 1910.
After World War I, the society again broadened its remit, accepting box makers from 1917, child workers from 1918, and workers undertaking piecework from 1919. This took membership over 1,000, and from 1918 the union was able to employ a full-time general secretary.
The cotton industry declined in Lancashire throughout the 20th-century, and the union began recruiting more workers involved in making packaging for heavy engineering products, such workers making up 90% of the total by the 1970s. It also recruited palette makers and some people involved in other areas of woodwork, and in recognition of this adopted its final name in 1945.
The union was still active in the mid-1980s, with around 500 members. In 1993, it merged into the Transport and General Workers' Union.

# Liverpool Packet (ship)

Several vessels have been named Liverpool Packet:
* Liverpool Packet was a privateer schooner from Liverpool, Nova Scotia, that captured 50 American vessels in the War of 1812. American privateers captured Liverpool Packet in 1813, but she failed to take any prizes during the four months before she was recaptured. She was repurchased by her original Nova Scotia owners and returned to raiding American commerce. Liverpool Packet was the most successful privateer vessel ever to sail out of a Canadian port.
* Liverpool Packet (1812 ship), of 409 tons (bm), was launched in 1812 at Kennebec. Liverpool Packet, Steven Singleton, master, carried emigrants to the United States from England in 1817. Forty-one members of the vegetarian Bible Christian Church led by Reverend William Metcalfe, immigrated to the United States in 1817 seeking religious freedom, eventually forming the first national vegetarian organization and the American vegetarian movement.

# Live 'n' Kickin' (West, Bruce and Laing album)

Professional ratings :
| Review scores ||
| Source | Rating |
| AllMusic | |
| Tom Hull | E+ |
Live 'n' Kickin' is a live album by the power trio West, Bruce and Laing, released in 1974. It was the band's third and final album, as their disbanding was announced shortly before its release.
The album is noteworthy in that three of its four songs were not released in studio versions by the band. Specifically:
* "Play with Fire" is a cover version of a song originally written and performed by The Rolling Stones, although West, Bruce and Laing's rendition uses the music for "Love is Worth the Blues," a song they previously wrote and recorded for their 1972 Why Dontcha debut album.
* "Politician" is a cover of a song Jack Bruce originally wrote and performed with his previous band Cream.
* "Powerhouse Sod" is a previously unreleased song featuring a bass guitar solo by Bruce. While credited to West, Bruce and Laing, Jack Bruce is probably the song's primary author, as the song had been played by Bruce with other bands prior to West, Bruce and Laing (for example, a live recording of it from 1971 is included on Jack Bruce's Spirit (Live at the BBC 1971–1978) boxed set).
Live 'n' Kickin' peaked at No. 165 on the Billboard U.S. album chart.

## Track listing

* "Play with Fire" (Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman) – 13:26
* "The Doctor" (Leslie West, Jack Bruce, Corky Laing, Sue Palmer) – 7:43
* "Politician" (Bruce, Pete Brown) – 5:41
* "Powerhouse Sod" (West, Bruce, Laing) – 10:39

# Thomas Houldsworth

Thomas Houldsworth (13 September 1771 – 1 September 1852) was a Tory, and then Conservative Party, politician in England. He was a Member of Parliament (MP) for 34 years, from 1818 to 1852.
Houldsworth MP for Pontefract from 1818 to 1830, and then for the rotten borough of Newton in Lancashire from 1830 until the borough was disenfranchised at 1832 general election. He was then elected for the Northern division of Nottinghamshire, and held that seat until he stepped down from the House of Commons at the general election in July 1852. He died two months later, aged 80.
