267079London: Thomas Worlidge mid-18th century. Engraved portrait of James Ashley in cartouche flanked by ornate pedestals supporting two punch bowls with engraved caption as above by Thomas Worlidge. 7-9/16 x 5-3/4 in. A strong impression with very slight rubbing and discoloration. Engraved portrait of James Ashley in cartouche flanked by ornate pedestals supporting two punch bowls with engraved caption as above by Thomas Worlidge. 7-9/16 x 5-3/4 in. Scarce trade card of James Ashley proprietor of the London Coffee House and Punch-House 1731-1776 who was "London's leading purveyor of Punch in the eighteenth century" Wondrich Punch p. 65 and "the world's first celebrity mixologist the first man to become famous for compounding and selling a mixed drink" ibid p. 172. Ashley a former cheese merchant opened his Punch-House in 1731 in Ludgatehill London. Extensive advertising in London papers as well as the distinct ornate pedestals surmounted by iron punch bowls which flanked its entrance made the London Punch-House one of the most well-known drinking establishments in the city. Clientele included Hogarth Boswell Oliver Goldsmith and Benjamin Franklin. A large sign outside of the Punch-House echoes the caption on this trade card "Pro bono publico. James Ashley in 1731 first reduced the price of punch raised its reputation and brought it into universal esteem." Ashley did indeed reduce the price of punch - from 8 shillings for punch made from a quart of arrack to 6 shillings - but his great innovation was to offer punch in smaller portions in servings as small as two ounces. These small servings made to order for the customer were the precursor to the modern cocktail. <br /> This trade card is engraved by Ashley's friend Thomas Worlidge 1700-1766 dubbed "the English Rembrandt" who also engraved portraits of Ashley's wife and one Mrs. Graywood the bar-keep at the London Punch-House.

1894WRCLIT74696Camp Interlaken Penn. 1894. 4pp. Folio leaflet 15" x 12 1/8" ; 38 x 31 cm. Text printed in four columns. Horizontal fold with small break at margin at fold slight tanning at edges and along fold faintly in excess of the uniform tan tone of the wove paper stock faint tidemark at extreme lower corner of top sheet otherwise an unusually nice copy of a very fragile item. One of the black tulips of Crane collecting being his second separate publication albeit with some likely contribution by L. C. Singer Jr. The .PUZZLE . is a 4 page mock newspaper formatted as a parody of a small town newspaper written by Crane at an adult camp Twin Lakes where he spent part of the summers of 1894 and 1895. The text is based on the experiences Crane and his cohorts had while at the camp and during their return trip. The paper was set up and printed for them by the staff of the PORT JERVIS UNION. On September 7th THE PORT JERVIS UNION printed an appreciative notice of the PIKE COUNTY PUZZLE's appearance and content. An account of the circumstances is contained in THE CRANE LOG. Much of the content is jocular in nature including Crane's identification of himself as "office boy" and in an advert on the last page as "Drink Mixer." Among the other content is a "stenographic" report of "Dinner-Time Conversations": "Miss Pronk with a sudden rush of courage. - 'Mr. Crane dont you like the Lays of Ancient Rome I think they are awfully sweet. Crane:- 'My uncle had a hen named Ancient Rome once and her eggs were popular all over the county. Yes Miss Pronk you are undoubtedly right.'" Personal advertisements "Telegraphic News" from other locales and similar tongue-in-cheek texts round out the mix. Until a clearly identified facsimile was published in 1967 by THE STEPHEN CRANE NEWSLETTER in an edition of 300 copies including 70 on white laid paper this original edition was the sole printing in this format. While not an absolute rarity in the strictest sense -- OCLC locates 19 copies at institutions not likely to have commingled entries for the facsimile with entries for the real thing -- it is scarce in the market place.

Oblong folio. 13.5 x 10.25 in. 14 leaves unnumbered. with 14 hand-coloured silver gelatin photographs sized 10 x 11.75 in. mounted on thick card stock leaves hinged with black cloth printed sales information on facing leaves each photo w/ War Restrictions Notice printed in upper fore-edge and supplementary product information in negative below each product. Original black pebbled cloth spine stiffened w/ wood spacers covered in black cloth minor bowing to leaves very minor wear to corners front outer hinge just starting still a VG copy w/ pencil date of 1940 on front pastedown. First edition of this scarce and exceptional photographic sample catalogue filled with the styles of Needler chocolate box assortment and chocolate packaging in the first years of World War II. Initially chocolates had been packed as unwrapped bars in the Victorian era with paper labels displayed on the counter. Later gold printing and metal foils repeated the luxury message of chocolate. Inspired by the innovations of Cadbury the designs for many British fancy chocolate boxes were prized by the British as special gifts to be used as trinket or button boxes and even cut out and saved in scrapbooks. The chocolate boxes in this catalogue include mixed assortments in faux 3-drawer cabinets decorated with fancy ribbons chromolithograph and colour-printed covers featuring historic scenes pets flowersArt Deco designs gold foil and more. Of special interest are the wonderful Needler’s figurine bowls and boxes featuring porcelain figurines dressed in silk fabrics atop bowls or boxes as well as a splendid pair of porcelain bookends “Sweet & Twenty†to hold up the customer’s chocolate boxes. Needler’s began as Fred Needler Ltd. in 1902 when established in Hull by Fred Needler 1865-1932 who began as a confectioner’s assistant in the 1880s. The company was a pioneer in fair treatment of his workforce incorporated profit-sharing for the staff from the beginning and covered sick pay retirement benefits and even established holiday homes in British seaside resort towns. By 1940 the company was one of the largest businesses in Hull with over 2000 employees. The company continued to operate until acquired through multiple buyouts by several different corporations until the label was acquired by Ashbury Confectionary and the factory was closed in Hull in 2002.

One of the three "books with which he burst upon the medical and scientific world in 1772... This contained a coloured folding plate of the tea tree, reproduced from a painting by J. Miller, made for Dr. John Fothergill. The tree from which it was taken was one that flowered in the garden of the Duke of Northumberland at Sion House in October 1771. It was the first that ever flowered in Europe, and from it Lettsom was able to correct the mistake made by the great Linnaeus, who, working from dried specimens, thought it was monogynous instead of trigynous."?Abraham.

A wide variety of packing options included water pack light syrup heavy syrup and frozen offerings which were packed into 10 oz. metal and paper fibre cans. Oregon Fruit Products was one of the many U.S. Companies to quickly expand their offerings with Abbot Laboratories notorious artificial sweetener Sucaryl Calcium Cyclamate which was marketed towards those dieters and customers with diabetes or other metabolic disorders wishing for sweet-tasting foods. However within 12 years after the “Oretetic†brand products were introduced in 1969 the FDA banned cyclamates due to two 1968 studies tracing links to bladder cancer. Gehlhar 1886-1969 originally purchased 10 acres in the West Side Fruit Farm district of Salem OR in 1910 and began farming and by 1920 was operating 160 acres producing cherries & prunes and later built the Gehlhar prune dryer in 1926. In 1931 he served as the first Oregon State Director of Agriculture and after a 1935 fire destroyed his fruit dryer the cannery remained and he chose to instead focus on canning and marketing canned fruit products for distribution in the Pacific Northwest. Although originally focused on canned fruits and then later frozen products by the late 1980’s and early 1990’s the company began diversifying their product line. In 2011 the Gehlhar family sold the company to Ed Maletis who have now expanded to a new location in Salem OR.
