18881778Omaha: Ackermann Bros. & Heintze 1888. Very good. 6112pp. 16mo. Original cloth. Light wear to cloth at edges and corners; boards slightly rubbed. Contemporary ink stamp on front pastedown; slightly later bookplate on front free endpaper. Light tanning and dust soiling internally. A fascinating and unrecorded book of ciphers used in telegraphic communications by the Armour-Cudahy Packing Company "compiled exclusively for use between them and their agents and brokers." The company was founded in South Omaha adjacent to the Omaha Stockyards in 1887 by Michael Cudahy and Philip Armour. It operated for four years and became one of the "big four" packing companies in Omaha before Cudahy bought out Armour in 1891 and it became simply the Cudahy Packing Company. By the mid-20th century their plant occupied five square blocks between the stockyards and the South Omaha Terminal Railway.The present book contains thousands of code words for sales phrases types of meat weights and measures prices and other notes on shipments payments and markets. Sections are organized alphabetically -- the most basic and important code words for sales consignments and orders all begin with "A" for example. Words for times and numbers start with "B" while codes plain prices begin with "C." Words for all manner of meat products in differing amounts occupy "D" through "P." Perhaps our favorite term here is "Rescue" which translates to "Meat a little soft otherwise good." Overall an excellent document of the evidently serious world of meat packing cryptography in the late 19th century. Not in OCLC. Ackermann Bros. & Heintze unknown books

Published in the same year as the first edition. Classic and long-awaited account of SOE cryptography by a legendary wartime expert. Marks wrote the famous poem 'The Life that I have' which he subsequently gave to Violette Szabo as her code key, and discloses here for the first time the story of the code war between SOE and the enemy in Holland. After WWII, Marks went on to become a prize-winning scriptwriter (he wrote Michael Powell's cult classic feature film 'Peeping Tom').
