191662233Grand Rapids MI: United Motors Co. Etheridge Printers ca. 1916. Oblong 8vo. 9.25 x 6.25 in. 12 pp. printed in blue & black. Tan-coloured illustrated softcovers cover art of United Motors truck in blue black & tan front cover yapp fore-edges minor soiling to far right fore-edge slight shelfwear still VG copy. First edition of this very scarce dealer’s showroom catalogue for the pre-World War I United Motors Co. filled with factory photos advertising their innovative 6-ton tractor and semi-trailer configurations as considerable cost savings. For 2/3 of the cost of a 5-ton truck the retailer shipper etc. could field a tractor and trailer for less than $ 3300.00. Founded originally as the United Motor Trucks Co. before World War I as a division of the United Light & Railways Co. conglomerate to not only produce trucks and utility vehicles for their own needs but to meet burgeoning demand brought on by improving roads and fast-growing commercial demands before and after World War I. By 1922 Hulswit Kanary and Eckburg were building and selling United Trucks powered by a four-cylinder Continental Engine the lightest model featuring a worm drive and the others often fitted still with chain drives moving to shaft drive and by 1925 would be manufacturing what they called the “Highway Special.†Hulswit 1875-1933 was the president and organizer of the United Light & Railways Co. which held 13 railroad and public service gas & electric utilities and corporations in five states and was forced out of his company in 1926. By that time Kanary had decamped to Hollywood California and the truck manufacturing unit was spun off to ACME Motor Truck Co. of Cadillac MI which continued the badge for a short time. Advertisements for their truck line cease by 1928. Very few of the original company catalogues survive some business records and material can be found in the Austin Automobile Co.

First edition 1 of 2500 copies printed of this seminal work detailing the author’s pioneering efforts of introducing traffic controls and street flow regulations beginning during the Progressive Era in 1899. Although Eno 1858-1945 had personally experienced his first New York traffic jam in 1867 it was missing the opening of the New York Metropolitan in 1899 that turned him to devote all his efforts to Good Roads engineering and traffic regulation and away from real estate. This volume includes his pioneering “Rules of the Road†which suggested speed limits right-of-way laws slowing and stopping signals and that vehicles should stay to one side and in 1902 New York adopted the rules creating their “Apollo Squad†traffic police. As the Progressive Era “Good Roads†movement launched largely by bicyclists and further propelled by automobiles in the Brass Era traffic flow planning patterns and regulations were also considered and adopted by governments in London Paris Berlin Rome and others consulted from as far as Australia and Japan. In addition during both World Wars he developed the military traffic control codes used overseas and in 1901 incorporated the Eno Foundation for Highway Traffic Control along with inventing the stop sign marked pedestrian crosswalks taxi stands and pedestrian safety islands. Of interest is that Eno never learned to drive.

190661361London: Salvation Army Book Department 1906. 12mo. 85 pp. plus 3 pp. publisher’s ads on thick paper stock. With 6 photo plates. Blue pictorial publisher’s cloth w/ image on front cover of General Booth’s 1906 Thomas Flyer touring car white lettering lsight scuffing minor shelfwear still VG bright copy. First edition of this informative work tracing the route and adventure in August 1904 as Salvation Army co-founder William Booth embraced the brand new motorized contraption traveling from Land’s End England to Aberdeen Scotland. The 1904 Thomas Flyer touring car was accompanied by a 1904 Thomas Tonneau touring car but Boot’s was painted white in order to attract more attention. Booth stopped off in cities towns and villages to preach to assembled crowds eager to hear the Methodist preacher’s message and the novelty of the automobiles was key. At the time less than 23000 motor cars were owned in all of Great Britain and as noted by the London Transport Museum over 98% of the vehicles in the London streets were drawn by the more than 300000 horses maintained in the urban area at the time.

1937234461937. Labor Organization Chrysler strike press photo archive documenting the 1937 sit down strikes and picketing campaigns at Dodge Main and other Chrysler facilities in Detroit and Highland Park Michigan during the decisive phase of industrial unionization in the American automobile industry. The archive records workers occupying plants mass picket mobilizations outside factory gates anti injunction demonstrations and violence connected to the struggle between Chrysler management the United Automobile Workers and competing independent unions. These events unfolded only weeks after the February 1937 settlement of the Flint sit down strike against General Motors which established the UAW as a major industrial union and accelerated organizing efforts across Detroit's auto plants. Chrysler initially resisted recognition obtaining court injunctions ordering workers to evacuate occupied factories while thousands of laborers remained inside the plants or formed flying squadrons to block strikebreakers from entering. The scenes here capture the atmosphere of confrontation in Depression era industrial labor conflict at a time when mass production workers forced some of the largest corporations in the United States to negotiate with organized labor.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 6 silver gelatin press photographs from 6 x 8 inches to 8 x 10 inches Detroit and Highland Park Michigan 1937. Affixed captions on versos with filing stamps dated March and August 1937. Crowds of striking workers gather outside Dodge Division and Chrysler factory gates beneath signs reading "Dodge Division of Chrysler Corporation Employment Office" and "We Are Here To Stay Dept. 82." Several men hold placards reading "82 is Sittin Too" "Spirit of 1937" and "Fence Jumper" while an effigy labeled "Injunction" hangs over the crowd in open defiance of a court order directing workers to vacate occupied plants. A large calendar board records the passing days of the sit down occupation beginning March 8 1937. Another scene shows relatives and supporters communicating with occupying workers through numbered department cards hung along the perimeter fence after union organizers established an improvised locating system for men inside the plant. One caption identifies "flying squadrons" directing picket activity outside Chrysler headquarters. The latest photograph records Frank A. Dillon identified as president of an independent Chrysler union receiving questioning from Detective Sergeant Harry Scher after an alleged beating connected to union violence that led Chrysler officials to temporarily close a plant pending investigation.<br /> <br /> The Chrysler strike formed part of the larger wave of industrial labor upheaval that reshaped American manufacturing during the New Deal. Passage of the Wagner Act in 1935 legally protected collective bargaining but enforcement depended on workers physically preventing corporations from continuing production with replacement labor. Sit down strikes became one of the most controversial tactics of the era because occupying workers halted machinery while denying employers access to their own factories. The archive preserves not only the mechanics of strike organization but also the public theater of industrial conflict in Depression era Detroit: marching pickets improvised communication systems anti injunction symbolism and massive worker assemblies outside factory gates. Moderate surface wear occasional creasing editorial markings and toning to versos with captions firmly affixed; images remain sharp and highly legible. Overall very good condition. unknown
