Quarto three volumes 432 pages with over 800 illustrations; 433-950 pages with over 1000 illustrations; and 448 pages with over 250 illustrations. Synthetic cloth; a fine set with the dustwrappers in fine condition apart from a few tiny tears to the head of each spine. 'This three-volume encyclopedia provides a wealth of primary source material on the American theater sic organ an instrument designed for the movie theaters of the silent film era that has now all but disappeared from American pop culture. The first two volumes contain articles about organ manufacturing companies. The third volume is devoted to "the mighty Wurlitzer". Each entry is documented with primary source material such as photos company records stop lists advertisements drawings and interviews and correspondence with organ makers. In addition Junchen has provided an opus list detailing the histories of all of the organs built by each company. These materials will prove indispensable to anyone researching popular music in the silent-film era' Trove presumably quoting the publisher. <p>The first two volumes are by David Junchen 1946 - 30 January 1992. The third volume by Preston Kaufmann is the first of a proposed five-volume series chronicling 'the rise and fall of the Mighty Wurlitzer pipe organ plus the company and people behind the product'. Loosely inserted is the four-page prospectus for that set and a circular letter dated 15 December 1995 from the author apologising for the delay in publication of this volume and outlining some of the problems encountered since he 'fell heir to the "Encyclopedia" project four years ago'. Reading between the lines we thought we could discern why no further volumes have been produced. A quick search online unearthed the less happy truth of the matter: Preston Kaufmann died in 1998 at the age of 42. 3 items. Showcase Publications hardcover

192059221Cincinnati OH & Chicago IL: Stewart Iron Works United States Motor Truck Co. Kaufmann & Fabry Co. 1920. Oblong 12mo. 6 x 4.5 in. 10 leaves unnumbered. w/ each separately featuring 5 linen-backed silver gelatin mounted photographs 50 in total sized 3.5 x 5.5 in. rounded corners many w/ negative no. in lower fore-edge w/in the negative leporello accordion style black linen hinges for each leaf mounted w/ linen hinges at gutter margin. Original stamped folding post-binder salesman case w/ foldover flap snapped clasp w/ gilt lettering stamped on front minor rubbing shelfwear still a VG bright copy. First edition thus of this exceedingly scarce original salesman sample photo catalogue for the short-lived truck manufacturer. Founded originally in 1862 by Stewart Sr. who opened the business originally in Covington KY the company quickly grew and eventually divided into three separate corporations by 1902. The Stewart company cornered the market on cemetery fencing across America manufactured the heavy duty trucks used by the US Army during World War I and installed iron works and benches in New York City’s Central Park the light fixtures in Congress fencing and gates at the Panama Canal the jail cells at Alcatraz Sing-Sing and Leavenworth. These sales photographs illustrate many of the companies purchasing heavy trucks from the US Motor Truck Co. division following World War I. Depicted here are flatbed trucks for The Diem & Wing Paper Co. in Cincinnati OH; Julius J. Bantlin Co. Wholesale Automotive Equipment and Saddlery; panel trucks for Baking companies w/ delivery doors built into the sides; a freezer or ice truck for the Niser Ice Cream Co. featuring curved cab similar to trolleys and other rail cars; or a dump truck for T.W. Spinks Co. featuring a Lehigh lift bed. The Stewart Iron Works truck division would continue until 1928 and also was a key truck supplier for Dow Drug Stores the Cincinnati Enquirer Cincinnati Post Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. and many others. Kaufmann & Fabry was an active commercial photographic firm specializing in architectural photography in Chicago from before 1910 and are still an active company. Founders were Charles D. Kaufmann b. 1888 an Austrian-American and Herman Fabry 1879-1955 German-American who are perhaps best remembered as the official photographers of the 1933 Century of Progress World’s Fair and were awarded not only the rights for publishing and distributing photographs and photos in publications but also operated a camera shop and film processing lab on the Exhibition grounds through 1933 and 1934. No copies of similar photographic catalogues could be located in institutional holdings or Worldcat and in fact almost no contemporary sales literature of the short-lived United States Motor Truck Co. division appears to have survived.
