22590Very good. Single sheet folded to 4 pages 9.5" x 6.25" with half-tone photographic illustration on cover. Undated but 1930s. Old folding creases minor dust soiling; very good. A scarce promotional circular providing a biography and testimonials for "Chief Ho-To-Pi our own Indian Caruso Northern Cheyenne Indian tenor." The text claims that the Chief was born in El Reno Oklahoma spent his youth "roaming the opening country alone listening to nature sounds and humming" until at age 13 he was sent to study voice in Chicago. There he "mingled with white folk for the first time" learned to speak English and attended the opera regularly. From there he went on to study opera in New York and Milan made five concert tours in Europe giving a "program of Indian songs and dances in costume" before returning to tour in the United States. Testimonials to his performance skills are provided from various colleges and newspaper notices and a specimen program appears on the back with offerings including "Wooing Song from Zuni" "Cheyenne Scalp Dance" "In My Canoe" and several Spanish-Californian songs. According to anthropologist Jack Rossen however "when the Chief died in 1973 his true identity emerged carried in his wallet. He was George Citrulis from Athens Greece. He was able to pass himself off as an Indian chief successfully for decades because of his dark features and because of the 'feather bonnet tribe' stereotype that homogenized all American Indians" Levanna 2019 p. 30. unknown

009488Leroy Marion County Florida: Co-operative Land and Improvement Company Book. Very Good. Newsprint. 11" w x 14" h. SCARCE 8 page promotional newspaper illustrated. Very Good light soiling small tears at fold edges. No date circa 1888-1891 the only copy located at WorldCat at the University of Virginia gives a date of 1888 and last date found in articles in the paper is 1887. However the article on subscribing to the Leroy Florida News notes that it started publishing April 15 and Library of Congress shows that the paper was only published in 1891. Adding to the credibility of an 1891 date the UVA copy notes a map illustration and the illustrations in this copy are all of buildings. "The former town of Leroy seems to have a checkered past. Some say it was only a "paper town." Others maintain it was a land fraud deal perpetuated by northerners and marketed across the US and abroad. Historical documents point to a thriving community with a post office businesses a school farms and more. The fact is Leroy was all of those things before it disappeared.

20563Twenty-seven 27 8†x 10†photographs showcasing high-end vehicles for rent from the Iowa Garage in Pasadana California owned by former race car mechanic Eugene Lajunie b. 1885. Each photo is accompanied by a typed caption giving the model number color some specifications and the price per day to rent with a driver. Vehicles include many touring cars and cabriolets made by Renault Packard and Daimler; a Sunbeam roadster town cars taxis a limousine army trucks a French truck mounted with an anti-aircraft gun and several remarkable “camera cars†made with front or rear-mounted platforms to hold movie cameras and their operators. Rental prices ranged from $35/day for a camera car to $75/day for the Sunbeam Roadster or a 1926 Renault cabriolet. Many of the cars are “posed†in front of beautiful homes on tree-lined Pasadena streets. These photographs would originally have been in a sales catalogue or album and there are remnants of the original pages on which they were mounted on the back of each one. Some have the original typed captions taped to the back others are accompanied by recent copies of those captions. These photographs were acquired as a group from the granddaughter of Eugene Lajunie and we believe the family made the modern captions to replace damaged ones from the original album. The images themselves are all original and in very good condition. Born in France Lajunie emigrated to the United States to work as the personal mechanic of racecar driver George Heath. Heath won first Vanderbilt Cup race with Lajunie at his side in 1904. Lajunie later lived in Davenport Iowa before moving to Pasadena and opening his Iowa Garage on South Fair Oaks avenue. There he personally repaired restored and equipped the vehicles he rented to Hollywood studios. unknown
