Beige-gray buckram lettering & borders in red & black on front cover map of Washington Oregon & California on back cover depicting long distance lines of 21000 miles of copper wire some soiling thumbing to covers original jute braid at head of spine still intact ex-lib markings on title & spine a couple stamps still a VG- copy. First edition thus with supplements of this pioneering telephone directory for the Pacific States Telephone Companies which in 1900 became the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph Co. and managed the West coast operations of the national AT&T or Bell system. Based out of their Richadson-inspired Romanesque building in San Francisco on Steiner Street the PSTC later PT&T had grown quickly from less than 1000 subscribers in 1891 to nearly 50000 by 1899 with 36541 in California 4177 in Oregon and 7156 in Washington State and this directory includes the very scarce leaf of the Idaho subscribers as well typically lacking. The first long distance telephone conversation held between San Francisco and Los Angeles was in 1894 and the company encouraged residences to obtain their own lines at 5Â¢ per day. While telephone rates in California varied from 10Â¢ to 50Â¢ those in Oregon Washington & Idaho were far higher with Zone Z no time limit running up to $ 1.00 per 3 minute use. Of particular interest is the list of subscribers in 1899 seven years prior to the 1906 Earthquake & Fire of Chinese subscribers in English and Chinese for the Chinese American Telephone Exchange. Founded in Chinatown originally in 1887 a public telephone pay station was installed in the Occidental Newspaper in 1891 and in 1894 a small switchboard was set up with Chinese-American telephone operators. John Sabin d. 1906 and Louis Glass would both later feature prominently in the trials and public hearings held in the Progressive Era to stamp out â€œThe Systemâ€ of graft and bribery in San Francisco.

Annotated Vernacular Photograph Album Documenting the Travels of the Royse Family Across the American West With Much Content on Early Automobile Culture and Industry in the Far West

19312702Various locations including Montana Wyoming Missouri California 1931. Very good. 45 leaves illustrated with 185 original photographs from 2.75 x 2 inches to 6.5 x 4 inches the great majority measuring 5.75 x 3.5 inches and a few postcards most with manuscript annotations on the borders of the images or on the album pages. Oblong folio. Contemporary textured black cloth gilt title on front cover string tied. Moderate rubbing to covers bottom edge worn corners creased. Internally clean photographs in very nice shape. A well-annotated vernacular photograph album chronicling about two decades of the travels and experiences of Ray Royse and his family as they trekked from Illinois to California through the Upper West in the first quarter of the 20th century. The Royse family started in Aledo Illinois and numerous photographs feature various family members here. They then traveled through Casper Wyoming Great Falls and Butte Montana and other locations before settling in Long Beach where Ray and his brother-in-law worked at the shipyards. The images here document Ray's training at the Sweeney Automobile & Tractor School in Kansas City driving Harley-Davidson motorcycles attempting to repair a nearly destroyed family sedan visiting the Custer Battlefield and the monument to Buffalo Bill Cody among other western sites scenes in Yellowstone Park and a family drive up Pike's Peak among many others. Ray's efforts to move West reflect the expansion and increasingly wide availability of automobiles and the growing industry in the West following the First World War. The photographs here record numerous locations in the American West to which Ray Royse along with his family and friends traveled or worked in in a 1922 Nash and later a Ford Model T. They traveled across the Continental Divide Ray worked for a time at the Anaconda Mines near Great Falls and Butte Montana and later the Standard Oil Refinery at Shelby Montana. Many images show a wrecked Ford Model T with Roy diligently at work trying to repair it before finally resigning his efforts by attaching a sign reading "Rest in Pieces" on the radiator. Another picture shows another Ford weighed down with a huge sack of wool in Bear Creek Wyoming. There are also images emanating from Dublin Gulch near Butte; Livingston Montana; Wind River Canyon in Thermopolis Wyoming; Salt Creek Wyoming; ; and several park scenes in Kansas City. A handful of images feature the Warren family in Butte. Several photographs memorialize the Royse family trip to Yellowstone Park in 1923 with many of the geysers and surrounding landscapes the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone and more. There are also interesting photos from a Royse family drive to the top of Pike's Peak with views from the peak with additional shots from the Garden of the Gods cliff dwellings near Colorado Springs scenes in New Mexico and Arizona in 1929 dams near Great Falls the Beaver Dam in Wyoming a picture of the "Million Dollar Fire" in Casper in 1921 and a beached fifty-five-foot whale in Long Beach dated December 28 1929. Altogether the images clearly illustrate the wandering nature of the Royse family across several states in the American West. Ray Royse 1903-1942 was an automobile mechanic metal worker and sheet metal specialist who worked in the Long Beach shipyards from 1929 until 1942 when he was killed in a shipyard accident. He also worked as a coal miner in Wyoming and on the Douglas Sheep Ranch in Wyoming both of which are chronicled in photographs in the present album. He met and married Sylvia Lambert in 1934 in South Dakota before returning to California. A wide-ranging and eclectic mixture of original and unique photographs of the West documenting an interesting family who began in Illinois and eventually settled in California. unknown

Vernacular Photograph Album of Scenes from Iowa Including a Substantial Journey by Boat on the Upper Iowa River and the Down the Mississippi

18951422Various locations in Iowa 1895. Very good. 149 albumen photographs on twenty cardstock leaves images measuring 4 x 5 inches. Oblong quarto. Original black cloth cover gilt; leaves laid in formerly string-tied. Light wear and soiling to cloth evidence of slight dampstaining to lower edge of binding and later leaves. Internal numbering sequence indicates first sixteen images lacking. Images generally clean some minor fading; one photograph partially removed and effaced. Wonderful photo album of images documenting late-19th century Iowa assembled by an unidentified young man with a clear passion for both amateur photography and the area's rivers. Internal evidence suggests he was a student at the University of Iowa possibly pursuing a course of study in the geological sciences. Each image is numbered captioned and dated in a tidy hand usually identifying location and any interesting features. The images span a full year from April 1894 to July 1895 ending with a self portrait. There are two series of eighty-three images the first sixteen of which are not present. The first of these focuses on the area around Iowa City documenting explorations along the Iowa River. Captioned images include: "21 -- Looking across Iowa River - University buildings in the distance. May 3 '94"; "25 -- Looking up Iowa River from Iowa Ave. Bridge. - Water Works in the distance. May 26 '94"; "46 -- Children at play - Iowa River. May 12 '94". There are images of a baseball game between the University and Luther College views of lime kilns and images of natural specimens. Several photographs chart the "Great Hail Storm at Iowa City" on May 5 1894 with images of golfball-size hail and the damage done to the windows of buildings around town. There are also photos of the author's roommate and some of the activities they got up to including catching snakes and hunting. The roommate Bartsch appears to have been studying natural sciences and one photograph shows him seated at his desk "Blowing Bird Eggs." The second series has a manuscript title of "Oneota Expedition" and documents a trip by boat from Decorah Iowa on the Upper Iowa River and down the Mississippi as far as Muscatine several miles below Davenport. The trip began on June 18 1895 and lasted through July 26th. Scenes along the river include "6. Women wading the river - w. of Decorah June 19 '95"; "14 -- Dragging our boat in the Oneota. June 24 '95" which shows a flat-bottomed boat laden with supplies being both pushed and pulled by a man at either end; a series of views taken from Oneota Bluff near New Albin on the Minnesota border; "37 -- Winnebago Indian Camp - Iowa Slough July 6 '95"; numerous lovely images of camping along the river and river towns as seen from the water; "77 -- Beds of Montpeliar Sandstone at water's edge - Below Montpeliar Ia. - Bartsch & 'Fitz' hunting fossils. July 23 '95." An interesting album full of wonderful and meticulously documented views of the Iowa River as seen through the eyes of a 19th-century university student. unknown books
