C. Travis Edited and indexed by Don Bryant, 2010 – bryant@wellswooster.com Interviewed on November 12, 1971 Tape #36 (29:32) Biographical Information Charles Clinton Travis was born 5 February 1891 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He was the son of James M. Travis and Marcia E. Dunton. James was born in Virginia about October, 1845 and died in Grand Rapids in November, 1925. Marcia was born in Wisconsin about 4 February 1854, the daughter of William Dunton and Diana R. Wright. C. C. Travis was married to Rosell Thomasma in Grand Rapids on 5 June 1924. He died 21 November 1977 in Grand Rapids. His wife Rose was born about 1898 in Michigan and died 2 November 1972. C. C. and Rose are both buried in Woodlawn Cemetery. __________ Interviewer: This interview with C.C. Travis was recorded November twelfth, nineteen seventyone. C. C. Travis: Here, just a minute, may, let me, I wrote some of this down. Charles Clinton Travis, nobody knows me as Clinton. Everyone knows me as C.C. Charles… Known as C.C. Travis, born February fifth eighteen ninety-one. Home was the corner of Ottawa and Michigan. We had an artesian well in the basement overflowed down, so down Michigan or, that was an open stream Michigan right down to the river. Imagine what that was at that time. Then… Interviewer: It was actually open stream that flowed right down the hill? C. C. Travis: Yes, that was before the, then they had cobblestone and then they finally put a rail up there cobblestone, so the horses could have a footing to get up the hill, you see. Michigan was a steep hill. And with cobblestone, then finally put the horse carts on the, tracks in there, by then there was, they had the tracks which made better wheeling for the horses. Interviewer: What, what did they do with the, if that stream was flowing openly down the hill, what did they eventually do with that, where did that stream go? C. C. Travis: I don’t know, I don’t know. Our, I never actually saw an open stream down Michigan except in a hard rain or anything like that. But there was a drainage from our well, from the basement there that, that evidently did have a little trickle down, down probably the curb of the street or something like that there. Because they had to cobblestone. Ottawa’s was a cedar block pavement and the hill was a cobblestone pavement so the horses could get a better footing. And they had trouble when a flood came in there, the darn cedar blocks floated out, �2 floated out on top of Ottawa Street. They had to do a lot of extra paving there. Because that, didn’t work, that was too slippery, for the hill. But the cobblestone, that was a kind of noisy as hell, you can imagine, every once in a while the horses get tired or they run away, not a runaway, but a loose wagon would come down, clackety, clackety and on, down Michigan, and now that’s a long thing. The darn things would sometimes run right through to the river. And there was, then on the cobblestone, road it’s, the stones are only about that big, see? Interviewer: Yes. C. C. Travis: So that a…. Interviewer: Well, that flood you were talking about did that, the Grand River used to flood pretty frequently? C. C. Travis: Oh yes, periodically. Interviewer: And the water would come up as far up on the hill as….. C. C. Travis : No, it wouldn’t come up our, as far as we are but, dad had artisan springs, Dad had water in the basement of his store, on Canal Street and, I’ve seen several floods of Canal Street there which was Monroe Avenue, lower Monroe. But it never came up much farther than that. Interviewer: I see, what kind of a store was it, that your father operated? C. C. Travis: Well, dad came and, you would call it an antique shop but was a second hand store. He bought and sold everything, anything. And he had quite a reputation; he had three stores, three floors and a basement. You can imagine that, I think there probably more families here in, ‘cause they have some of their fine mahogany and antiques in Dad’s store many years ago. Blodgetts, and I don’t want to mention any names, but the, people that liked real antique furniture in, he had a little Dutchman there in the store that knew all the immigrants that came in. The first thing they wanted to do is get Golden Oak furniture and so they’d trade their mahogany and their walnut and their fine antiques, there wasn’t, there weren’t. Dad didn’t feel that he was doing them any justice with it but they got exactly what they wanted. They wanted Golden Oak. Interviewer: What is Golden Oak exactly? C. C. Travis: Golden Oak is just exactly what it is. It’s oak, oak furniture with a finish like this. [Knocking on table] And that was… Interviewer: Yes, I’ve seen a lot of this… C. C. Travis: …and carved, the, it was, a lot of it was very beautifully carved, because they had a lot of hand carvers, machine carving wasn’t known then. And everything was hand carved and it was really beautifully decorated and beautifully carved, but oak was, they weren’t importing a lot of mahogany, they did some. But that was called the Golden Oak Age and everybody had �3 beautiful golden oak. And the people that came over, a lot of the people brought their furniture, fine mahogany and walnut furniture from abroad and would, would want to trade it in for golden oak. And so Dad had three stores, a basement and bought a circus one time, he gave all the animals, alligators and bears and everything to the Soldier’s Home. And, but the furniture was beautiful furniture. Interviewer: What, what did the Soldier’s Home do with, do with the animals? C. C. Travis: Oh, they had a cage out there, they caged, that was our Sunday, that was when they had, finally had streetcars out there and we’d go out and see the bears and the raccoons and some of the animals that Dad had contributed to the Soldier’s Home. And it’s, he had trained bear down in the basement of the store. Interviewer: A trained bear? C. C. Travis: well, maybe a tame bear. And he gave it to the Soldier’s Home finally. Interviewer: Well, where did he keep the bear down in the basement for? C. C. Travis: It was for curiosity. Interviewer: Bring people into the store? C. C. Travis: The bear was a good friend of his. Tame bear. They’re funny, you know. A tame bear is, is really quite something, I guess. I used to go down and play with him. Interviewer: I’ve never seen one before. C. C. Travis: Well, they’d have a good collar on them, don’t you know and, but it was, it was so tame that, when you go out to Soldier’s Home why the bear seemed to know Dad I mean, he would come and pet him, and so I, as I say it was, it was a pretty well named, Everything on Earth. That was the, that was his slogan and my sister made a very nice, I wish I had one of the letterheads, a letterhead, ‘Everything on Earth Jim Travis'. And he’d buy a tent, you could buy, well is a, as your city grows, at that time when you stop to think of it, pre-Civil War and after Civil War, we had quite an influx of, of, very wealthy people come to Michigan. Your lumber industries and all that brought a lot of wealth to it. And, they brought some of their fine furniture out here, too. And they wanted to trade it, why or they got stuck with something, why dad would buy anything. And he would trade. Interviewer: Where, where did you, grow up as a child? Where was your family home located? C. C. Travis: Michigan and Ottawa. Interviewer: Did your father build that house there or was it, had…. C. C. Travis: No, his aunt was, one of his relatives built it. �4 Interviewer: When did they finally tear that, were there other houses in that area, too? C. C. Travis: Yes, all, right in the back was a, I think it was a relative of Dad’s. And then there was a shoemaker that was on Ottawa Street. It was next to us there. Then Dad, after the Civil War, and this, all of this after the Civil War, he started the store on, at that time Canal Street. And, he’d buy anything and sell it; he did a tremendous business in tools. Gee, some of the people would bring, over they’d have tools and stuff like that once in a while need money, they’d sell their tools and furniture and as I say he probably sold more antiques to the houses in Grand Rapids here, the Blodgetts and early families. Interviewer: This, when did the house on Michigan and Ottawa come down? C. C. Travis: When the brewery… Interviewer: When was that? C. C. Travis: Brewery took it over. Oh, was quite a few years ago. Interviewer: That… was that, what eventually became Fox Deluxe Brewery? C. C. Travis: Yes, yes that was the original brewery. That was Grand Rapids, I think it was Grand Rapids Brewery but we were right next door and Dad’s very good friends, friends of the gang. And, but it’s, they were, the brewery was formed there due to the spring. Due to the fine water they had. Brewery depends on good water. Interviewer: Yes. C. C. Travis: And, so that, and then we had, we had an actual artesian well in the, in the basement, got pretty wet there sometimes, too. But that was part of the thing, his, his relative, Aunt somebody, I can’t remember the name, but, built the house on, on, at that time it was Ottawa and Bridge and then Bridge was changed to Michigan. Interviewer: You have some brothers, or some sisters that you, did you have some brothers, too? C. C. Travis: I didn’t have any brothers, no, but I had, three sisters. Now, Calla, the older one, her, her dancing school started when she was in high school and lived on, Michigan and Ottawa. And she had taken dancing lessons and she was the only one that knew the, knew the range of, of social dancing and acting dancing and she had quite a school there. Original Travis School of Dancing was on Michigan and Ottawa. And then she had it, came to, out here on, I think the next one was on Madison and then a school here and she went to, she had a, she had a, school in, out in Lansing and Kalamazoo, Muskegon and sometimes she went to Detroit. Interviewer: So she, she had like a regular chain of dancing schools? �5 C. C. Travis: Yes. Very successful, Calla Travis, whenever think of Calla Travis, why they think of her dancing. Interviewer: Yes, was that a pretty important activity for the young people in those days… C. C. Travis: Yes. Interviewer…social dancing? C. C. Travis : Yes, it was and more people learned the, learned the social graces, she was quite, very exact and there wasn’t any fooling or anything like that and the parents well we are glad to have, you have our kids for a couple of hours and, and really teach them something we can’t teach them. Which are manners, I mean the dancing is, well she took over the Saint Cecelia, she kept the Saint Cecelia here busy pretty near five days a week. And she had the school there Saturday, two or three times. And then she took over the, all, whatever her, her studio was where the art institute is now. Interviewer: Was it in that… C. C. Travis: A little old stone building…[Truman H. Lyon house at 220 E. Fulton] Interviewer: Oh, the one next door. C. C. Travis: Well, she had, that was the original stone buildings there. And she has that as her studio for years. And which was a very interesting place. Interviewer: Well, that little stone building down there, that, would that where, have been close to all the residential areas of the city? I mean… C. C. Travis: Oh yes, there were residential, there was residences all, that, that was quite a resident area. Interviewer: Down along Jefferson and … C. C. Travis: Jefferson and Fountain Street, some of those very fine old homes along Fountain and Fulton. That was a very good area. We came out, well then, then it went, then it went south and we had one house, I don’t remember that, down here but, we bought here a few years ago. And these houses out here are built like the rock of Gibraltar, The, the timber that you see up in the attic here is, two-by-fours are really two-by-fours. It’s quite amazing the stuff that they built them with. Interviewer: Who built this house? C. C. Travis: I think the, I think the early people, [Martin] Dregges built it; lumberman must have built because the, the stuff in the attic there is beautiful pine. And… �6 Interviewer: You have it divided into apartments now. C. C. Travis: We have six apartments here. You can see the height of the ceiling; you don’t build a house like this anymore. Interviewer: How high is that ceiling? C. C. Travis: Well, I think it’s a good twelve, I think it’s a good twelve feet; twelve or thirteen feet. It had, it has a fireplace in the basement, has a fireplace on the second floor and next door apartment here on the other side. And we have six apartments here now. Interviewer: Was it divided into apartments when you bought the house. C. C. Travis: Yes, we did some of it but, the Dregges, the Dregges, owned it for awhile, the lumberman. And, but they didn’t build it, I’ve got a, I got some of the story out; I’m going to get it because it was built quite a long time ago and, beautifully built. Interviewer: Yes, what, where did you go to school when you were growing up? Did your family, how long was it that you lived down there on Michigan and Ottawa? C. C. Travis: I was, I went to kindergarten at Michigan and Ottawa and through, I didn’t go through the first, then we moved, on out, let’s see where did we move? Well, we moved out here and I don’t think I was there, then I went to Madison school for a while, yes, we had, we had, yes we did, we had, we bought the Dregges place. Did you know the Dregges in the lumber business? And it wasn’t, it wasn’t this house I don’t think, but the whole house was finished in beautiful sycamore and oak, from Michigan woods. And, I went to, I went to kindergarten at the Madison, or LaGrave Street School over there, had kindergarten, I went to kindergarten there and I think I had the first grade at Madison. And what else? Interviewer: Where did you go to high school, up to…? C. C. Travis: Central. Interviewer: Central? C. C. Travis: Central High, yes. Interviewer: Did you go to college after high school? C. C. Travis: What? Interviewer: Went right into business? C. C. Travis: No, no, I went, I was very fortunate. I had early experience in furniture designing. I worked, I was very interested in furniture, and I had, I got a job as an apprentice in designing with Arthur Teal who was one of the fine designers when he, he designed Stickley and several of �7 the other big factories here. And, I must have about five or six or seven years of furniture design and making rods and doing copies. I never actually had a furniture account of my own, but I worked with, with artists like Art Teal, who was a wonderful man. We had the Stickley account. And I worked with another one where we Berkey, some of Berkey and Gays work. And… Interviewer: What did you, after you finished your apprenticeship? C. C. Travis: Well, I was, I then went into, studied architecture and I had an apprenticeship with Pierre Lindhout in an architect, and then through that, we had quite a few houses to work out and I got interested in interior work and, I worked with Arthur Teal who was a furniture designer and a decorator. And, well I had my experience in decorating through him. Interviewer: This company that you mentioned before Applegate-Travis. C. C. Travis : Well Travis-Applegate Company then, I left, I left there and, had a opportunity through our experience with many of the furniture companies and I was offered a job of purchasing agent and I went from there to, I was head purchasing agent for Robert Irwin Company. Which is one of the fine ones, because I had experience in lumber and veneers and stuff that made good furniture. And I was purchasing agent there for about five years, at Robert Irwin Company. Interviewer: Well, then you spent a… C. C. Travis: Robert Irwin Company had, had Grand Rapids Furniture Company, the Robert Irwin Company, the Royal Furniture Company and the Macey Company, and there was a time there when I was a lumber and veneer buyer for all of them. And that was a good million dollar business, I mean we had quite a little responsibility to keep those plants in tune with their different specifications of lumber and veneer and plywood and, and so I had a very wonderful training in that. And then when an opportunity came to go out and think about doing your own business, George Applegate, who was with one of the other companies, and I hooked up together and formed the Travis-Applegate Company. Interviewer: What kind of business was that? C. C. Travis: Paneling, lumber, plywood and veneer. Interviewer: Well, then you spent, you spent all of your working life in or involved with the furniture business. C. C. Travis: That’s right…. Interviewer: What, can you tell me a little about how big the furniture business was at one time? And how important it was to the community? �8 C. C. Travis: Oh, it was very important, I mean, our companies were with, well one of our big companies of course, when I left the Robert Irwin Company and Phoenix [Furniture], I was on very good terms with Mr. Irwin and the gang there because I was purchasing agent there. I’d had experience as purchasing agent and that’s one, that’s really is a training because you have to meet a lot of people, you have to know your materials, and my specialty was lumber and veneer. So that I was well equipped as a salesman for that product. And we had some very good accounts. Interviewer: What was it that, well, kind of ended the furniture business here in the city, I mean it’s still producing furniture but, it’s certainly not the furniture capital of the world, anymore. C. C. Travis: Well, I think it was the inroad of the southern plants mechanizing, Grand Rapids, I think was, I don’t want to be quoted in that, but I think Grand Rapids was a little slow in taking up complete mechanization, in machinery. Although that’s a machine made piece right…is against the, the craftsmanship that Grand Rapids had become known for. We had some very wonderful carvers here, one of these, I’m I remember over a Robert Irwin Company when I was purchasing there, there they had a tremendous staff of very wonderful carvers. And some of the fine, Royal, Royal was the top line at that time. Royal Furniture Company was of Mr. Irwin. And you got to hand it to him, he has the, he had the, well I bought, he had the Royal, was the top, and the Phoenix, The Grand Rapids Furniture Company and Macey Company all fell in line of the with the Irwin, of the Irwin factories. Interviewer: Well, did they, I’m just conjecturing here but, if I mean Grand Rapids for some reason which I’ve never been able to determine, did attract a large number of Dutch people and a lot of these people that would come over and were craftsmen… C. C. Travis: That’s right. Interviewer: …would work in the furniture companies. C. C. Travis: That’s right Interviewer: Now were they a… C. C. Travis: They were good woodworkers and carvers. Interviewer: Where, what, what kind of wages, would they have made in those days? C. C. Travis : I don’t have too much idea, I don’t think it was too much I don’t, I don’t think that, I think they were paid a good, a good scale because they, they made a good living and they brought their family, they certainly had large families. And, not only that but their large families and, and they made darn good citizens. They didn’t have to go out and knock somebody over the head to get an income or bring them down they were, they were honest workers and they, I think, I don’t think they, I don’t think the scale of a woodworker was equal to some of the scales of that �9 later developed in the automotive field. I think the woodworking was, but it was, it was a pretty good scale and, and good craftsmanship, they were paid, the carvers in Grand Rapids were paid, very well for the, for their artistry. Interviewer: Did the automobile business have any effect on the furniture industry? C. C. Travis: Oh, yes, had a lot. I think, it raised the price of labor and, it was, can’t you can’t, can’t blame certain period, where there’s quite an exodus of talent from Grand Rapids into the automobile, because they had to have, they had, for a design of a new automobile. That thing would be blocked up with wood. And the carvers and the craftsmanship of a rod maker and a pattern maker was , was way up that was one, that was the highest, one of the highest scales, paid scales in the furniture, in the woodworking industry. Why sometimes the pattern maker who could, who could carve and shape the, because an automobile doesn’t have very many square corners in it you know. Interviewer: Yes. C. C. Travis: And that whole car is made first out of wood, with a pattern. So the pattern makers of, who, of the skill of the pattern makers in the furniture industry were taken up, very rapidly in the automotive. Interviewer: Yes, Someone, I think it was Mr. Siegel Judd, the attorney was telling me that, he felt that the automobile business also had an effect on the insurance, or on the furniture industry, in that they, paid, a higher wage than was offered in the furniture factories, and it attracted a lot of the young men that would have nor, in days before the automobile would have followed their father’s footsteps, learned the trade and, taken up the same trade as their father but they were drawn away from that, into the automobile business by the five dollars a day wage. C. C. Travis: That’s right, I think that’s true. On the other hand, you can say that, that influence wouldn’t be too bad on the success of any community to have a means of, of establishing a higher rate. I thought, I never, I never accused anybody of paying anybody too much. I think the, the furniture industry was something that had to meet that competition. Because a rod maker and a pattern maker in furniture is maybe they didn’t get the money that a pattern man made in the automotive but just due to that demand for that, stuff they, they had to pay them. Interviewer: Yes, C. C. Travis: And that’s, that was pretty, that was pretty steep competition because you can’t tell, you can’t furniture outside, well, for piano, piano work was probably the top piece of wood furniture in the whole field because that, that bent work in the, work on a piano there is really something. And a man who could get a job in a, in a piano factory was, felt himself pretty lucky. On the other hand, the fine furniture of the old Royal Furniture Company and, and some of these fancy carvers were very well paid. They were really artists. But it was a demand, just like any �10 business. The, the demand and the scarcity of labor or the fullness of labor was, set the pace. But the furniture man, the furniture management, I don’t think the furniture management ever saw, or ever took the initial step to make furniture a high paying industry in labor. Interviewer: Yes. C. C. Travis: In any, in any work it’s a supply and demand that worked it, but, some of the fine carvers and the fine artists in the furniture today were doing very well. And that was a trade that was very desirable. Interviewer: Why do you think that, a furniture industry here in Grand Rapids was slower to mechanize then southern factories? C. C. Travis: I don’t know; I don’t know the answer to that. I think it was, personally, I think it was, a man that has a factory and is going along with hand-made stuff, a lathe or a carver, they have, they have all, you’ve got automatic carving now that weren’t heard of outside of pattern. The pattern maker was the top man in the factory. You could make that pattern, make a machine to duplicate that carve or turning was an automated thing. Very, very little hand turning, so that the man that made the pattern did a good job and the man that just pushed a button and pushed it out, why, that was a second rate job. You know it, it’s a demand and, just like anything else, the demand for talent, or the demand for anything else, when there’s a scarcity of good talent why somebody’s going to come in there and a do a little more on it. Don’t you think so? I mean that’s, that’s my experience with the thing. And you’ve seen it in the furniture industry. Interviewer: Yes.
