19540011012Los Angeles: Coca-Cola Franchisee Los Angeles California. Good. 1954-1958. Hardcover. On offer is a wonderful 5 year diary kept by the wife of the Executive Vice-President of one of America's iconic corporations Coca-Cola. The diary covers the years 1954 through 1958. The author of this diary is Ardis J. Barbee. She was born in 1907. Her adult life was spent in California where she lived in Beverly Hills. She passed away in 1996 at the age of 89. She was 47 when she began this diary. Although her full name is not inscribed in the book context clues confirm irrefutably that she is the author. Ardis Barbee married Cecil R. Barbee in 1949. He was born in Manhattan in 1889. At some point he moved west to California. There in 1923 he and his brothers purchased the Coca-Cola franchise for the city of Los Angeles and the surrounding area within a 50 mile radius. According to corporate records he served as Executive Vice-President. The company was very successful. In 20 years the Barbees had grown the business to 6 plants with some 575 employees. Sales were in the millions. Although Cecil was a very serious businessman his 2 younger brother Stanley and Algernon live flamboyant lives. Stanley as President was responsible for the construction of the company's head office - a nautical-themed building that remains an iconic location in Los Angeles to this day. Cecil Barbee was also an inventor with at least three patents to his name. From Ardis' diary the reader can see that they lived well: "Didn't go to club today. Too busy - Mama out all day - took Mama Wilma & Mae to luncheon at Miramar Hotel. Then for drive to "Hidden Valley". In A. M. with me to purchase my 2 big new outfits! Blue silk with black & white Hurrah! I did my hair. C & I drove home " Mar 12 1954; "Left for Palm Springs about 11 - Mama Cecil & I for a well-earned holiday. I left my car at Cadillac 1 st to be repaired for damage on 24 th. Arr P S about 4 - To Casa del Camino - later to Tennis Club to "family nite" - super! To dine - Then to El Mirador hotel for cheer - heard sing. Bed 12" Apr 29 1954; "Our Sixth Year anniversary and what a wonderful day. Cecil at plant all day - Mr Nicholson Ch C. C. Board to see him at 3: 00! . called in A. M - 1 st time since our marriage - mo other word ex his family ." June 16 1955. In 1955 her husband Cecil became ill. Eventually he was diagnosed with cancer and many subsequent entries refer to how this impacts both he and her. Cecil Barbee would eventually succumb to the disease in April 1958: "Our dear Cecil passed away at 2: 20 PM in Cedars of Lebanon Hospital. Mama and I at his bedside . Please give me the strength to carry on " Apr 7 1958. For a social historian this is an outstanding look at life as lived in the booming post war years in California especially by a well-off woman. Their connection to Coca Cola as distributors in one of the company's most lucrative markets adds to the interest and value of this diary. This would be an excellent source reference to a Women's Studies program or research as it illustrates 5 consecutive years in the life of this well-to-do woman and her day-to-day life. The diary measures 6 inches by 4 inches and contains 365 pages. It is approximately 95% complete. The diary is in very good condition. The cover is intact although the clasp on the locking strap is missing. The binding is intact and all of the pages are in good condition.

1958215j1610U.S.A.: Mary C. Armstrong. Fine. 1958. First Edition. Hardcover. "The story of the life of Judge George W. Armstrong 1866-1954 is a picture of America at her best. During the last half of the nineteenth century and for about thirty years of the present century our Republic was generally governed by individuals of the character and blood of those stalwart leaders who conceived and organized it. Judge Armstrong belonged to that courageous lineage. He studied thoroughly the plans of those who would destroy our Nation took an active part in exposing their treason and assisted patriots who battled to save us. He wrote extensively to expose administrations infiltrated by governmental appointees planning our destruction. So powerful were these individuals that they exercised great control over the national press and by skillful propaganda had poisoned the minds of our citizenry. To attack them took character and courage all of which Judge Armstrong possessed in abundance." - George Van Horn Moseley Major General U.S. Army Ret'd. Armstrong's books include: High Treason The March of Bolshevism The Rothschild Money Trust The Corruption of America and many more. xviii 414 pp. Index.
