185340115Silver Creek NY: Greenleaf & Montgomery 1853. First edition. Moderate wear and slight loss along fold some creasing still about very good. Broadside. 12" x 11 1/2" An early industrial broadside from the town of Silver Creek on the shore of Lake Erie in Western New York State founded in the early 19th century by Massachusetts residents incorporated in 1848 and an important port on the Lake until the coming of the railroad. The area had a number of businesses active in producing machinery including Howes Babcock given its strategic location in the country's westward expansion. Greenleaf & Montgomery the names at the bottom of the broadside were William R. Greenleaf and Ezekiel Montgomery who formed this company to produce steam engines and mill machinery. Not only do they argue for the superiority of their steam operated saw mills but claim invention of mully-heads for saw mills whether steam or water powered and guaranteed to produce the best results.

1943WRCLIT75412Washington Providence Montauk etc. 1943. Thirteen pages on six quarto and octavo lettersheets one folded to quarter panels. Three in ink one in pencil. Folded for mailing otherwise fine accompanied by two envelopes addressed in his hand hastily torn open at one end. Four substantial boisterous opinionated and occasionally inebriated letters from Flagg to Willis Birchman addressed variously as "Kid" "Country Gentlemen" "Dear Temperamental Meringue" and "Will Bill" who became one of Flagg's frequent correspondents as a consequence of Birchman having featured Flagg in his 1937 book FACES & FACTS BY AND ABOUT 26 CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS. One letter 4pp. in ink on letterhead of the Providence Biltmore consists of an account of a rather Cutty Sark driven meeting with "Cecil" likely film star Cecil Humphreys with whom he had a long association. Another letter 4pp. written on letterhead of Montauk Manor at Montauk Beach is in pencil and opens with an attractive pencil drawing of a beach scene with cars parked and facing out over the ocean; it relates chiefly to the circumstances of his stay at Montauk and is signed "Cap. Kidd." Another letter 4pp in ink on letterhead of the Hotel Raleigh relates to events surrounding a vague series of meetings in Washington DC involving representatives of the Australian and British governments stops at embassies a meeting with Sumner Welles etc. The last letter dated simply Friday 2pp. in ink is somewhat diffuse but mentions a pending trip to Washington and meetings there perhaps anticipating the stay mentioned in the letter above. Flagg 1877 - 1960 was in his time one of the most prolific and popular of American artists and illustrators. His best known work was one of the most widely distributed recruitment posters for the US military: the iconic image of Uncle Sam captioned "I Want YOU for U.S. Army" unknown books

To "Dear Bill" i.e. Willis Birchman and appropriately captioned next to his name in the letterhead: "Goes Nuts in 3/4 War Time." Birchman was one of Flagg's frequent correspondents as a consequence of Birchman having featured Flagg in his 1937 book FACES & FACTS BY AND ABOUT 26 CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS. A rather blunt letter much of it written in jingoistic jest and all in caps: "Have you ever thought of Chi-Chi-Renoir's enthralling stench for gay frolicking moments You have no idea of what it will do for you! But buy a war bond foist! Mail a bottle of Chi-Chi to your Nip Girl Friend - It will kill her! Suffer little Krauts to come unto me - Gen.
