Richardson Spooner Wis." and one has a later annotation on the reverse "Shell Lake Lumber / Spooner Wisconsin."

L. Richardson was a Walworth County photographer who worked from a shop in Spooner between 1905 and 1906. <br /><br />Shell Lake Lumber was the largest lumbering company in the region during the early 1900s. The rivers and streams in this area of Wisconsin were not suitable for transporting logs so the area's forests remained virtually untouched until the arrival of the railroad in 1880 after which a large sawmill was built. The company operated a number of mobile logging camps throughout the region that moved from place to place to harvest new stands of timber. The yellow pine harvested by Shell Lake was highly prized and commanded a significant premium for its superior girth height and exceptionally straight and clear bodies. <br /><br /> books

18282305169Exeter: Josiah Richardson 1828. First Edition. First Edition. Good/No Jacket. First edition. Lacks title labe 1 inch chip from spine head boards rubbed stain to bottom half of final Family Guide section and a few pages preceding it all text still legible. 1828 Full-Leather. 468 24 pp. 12mo. Original full leather. A collection of remedies for both animals and people including some herbal treatments. Two separate indexes to the various receipts follow the text of their respective sections. "A farrier is a specialist in equine hoof care including the trimming and balancing of a horse's hoof and the placing of shoes to the horse's foot. A farrier couples a subset of the blacksmith's skills fabricating adapting and adjusting metal shoes with a subset of veterinary medicine knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the lower limb to address the care of the horse's feet. At one time farrier and blacksmith were all but synonymous. A farrier's work in colonial America or pre-Industrial Revolution Europe would have included horseshoeing as well as the fabrication and repair of tools the forging of architectural pieces etc. Today farriers usually specialize in horseshoeing focusing their time and effort on the care of the horse's foot. For this reason farriers and blacksmiths are considered to be in separate albeit related trades. A farrier's routine work is primarily hoof trimming and shoeing. In ordinary cases it is important to trim each hoof so that it retains its proper orientation to the ground. If the animal has a heavy work load works on abrasive footing needs additional traction or has pathological changes in the foot then shoes may be required. Additional tasks for the farrier include dealing with injured and/or diseased hooves and application of special shoes for racing training or 'cosmetic' purposes. In cases of horses with certain diseases or injuries special remedial procedures may be needed for the hooves and then special shoes may need to be constructed and fitted.

18964969New York: Bartlett & Company The Orr Press 1896. Octavo 20.5 x 14 cm. 97 pages. Date derived from Water Street address on title page. An extensively illustrated trade catalogue of heating furnaces and cooking ranges. Before the 1830s gravity hot-air furnaces were produced according to the specifications of individual buildings. The first mass-market manufacturer in the United States was Richardson & Boynton established in 1837 and in business for more than a century thereafter. The company survived the competitive surge in home heating manufacturers in the decades after the Civil War Fuller & Warren of Troy for instance also advertised as "the oldest house in the trade" introducing innovations in fuel source efficiency flue design cleaning access and model size - to say nothing of aesthetic appeal - at a surprising rate. The foundries and shop buildings occupied a double block in Red Hook Brooklyn; corporate offices 232-234-236 Water Street were across the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan. By the 1890s Richardson & Boynton were advertising themselves as manufacturers of multiple designs of furnaces fireplace heaters laundry water heaters cooking ranges stoves and kitchen appurtenances such as kettles urns pastry ovens and steam tables. Owing ostensibly to climbing tunnage and wharfage costs the entire operation decamped to Dover New Jersey in February 1896. Elaborate illustrations with equally elaborate cutaways; specification charts. A bit of chipping to head and foot of wrapper at spine otherwise very good in two-toned brown wrappers with gilt decoration. Pages clean and bright. Scarce. OCLC locates three copies of all other Richardson & Boynton cataloguesbut none of this issue; Romaine page 363 for other issues. Bartlett & Company, The Orr Press unknown books
