edition
of the
Akron
Daily
Argus
was
printed
on
calico
fabric
as a
souvenir
of the
Calico
Ball
,
held
the
day
before
. The
economic
Panic
of
1873
was
followed
by a
five-year
depression
in
which
farm
foreclosures
,
business
failings
, and
wage
cuts
were
widespread
.
Because
the
winter
of
1874-1875
was
particularly
hard
, a
charity
ball
was
given
to
raise
funds
to
provide
food
and
coal
for the
poor
. On
February
2
,
1875
, the
Calico
Ball
was
held
at the
Sumner
House
,
Akron's
opera
house
located
at the
corner
of
North
Howard
and
Federal
streets
. The
newspaper
reports
the
activities
of the
evening
, and
profiled
ten
"
floor
managers
"
among
them
several
of
Akron's
most
eligible
bachelors
. The
festivities
commenced
with a
Grand
Promenade
and a
supper
,
following
which
the
floor
was
cleared
for an
evening
of
dancing
. The
Argus
reported
that "
beauty
,
fashion
,
wealth
and
honest
independence
were
all
there. There were
Methodists
,
Baptists
,
Presbyterians
,
Disciples
,
Episcopalians
and
members
of
other
denominations
,
who
for the
evening
laid
sanctimony
aside
, and had a
good
time.
