19296905Casper WY: Emmett Fuller 1929. First editions. 10 volumes 20x14cm. Photos illustrations advertisements. Each staple bound in colorful printed wrappers generally in very good condition with occasional minor chipping at corners or spines. No. 12 with some damp staining along edges. <br /> <br /> A broken run of this very uncommon bimonthly regional magazine from Wyoming which began publication in May of 1929 and went through at least April of 1930 with 24 issues in Volume I. After 1930 we find no mention of the publication so it seems to have ceased after just 1 year. According to his obituary in the Casper Star-Tribune from 1960 editor Emmett Fuller was a merchant and newspaperman in Casper before publishing the Pepper Pot which folded due to a limited audience in the state. He then went on to publish a similar magazine Western Progress in Denver in 1932 and The New Mexico Engineer in Albuquerque in the 1940s. <br /> <br /> The Pepper Pot's mission was to "inform to entertain and to assist in the more rapid and proper development of the state. by bringing forth Wyoming literary talent; Wyoming scientific inventive and business genius; and through wholesome discussion of matters important to the state." Perhaps the most well-known name and one which appears frequently throughout these issues is that of Lora Webb Nichols 1883-1962 with articles stories and poems. Nichols was a photographer from Encampment Wyoming whose bold Western images captured the spirit of pioneer life in and around the copper mining town. She would loan her cameras to cowboys and other passers-through asking them to return photographs which she would then develop in her studio. <br /> <br /> Other names which appear in these pages are Tim J. Mahoney Doris Garst Perry W. Jenkins Daphne Rowell Christy MacManus Sheila Hart Sylvia Oldman Upwall and others. <br /> <br /> OCLC cites holdings for scattered issues only at the Universities of Wyoming and Brown.<br /> <br /> <br /> .

1950217641950. The Enthusiast a monthly publication produced by the Harley-Davidson Motor Company chronicling American motorcycle culture at mid-century. Milwaukee WI: Harley-Davidson Motor Co. February-November 1950. Archive of five issues each 23 pages and measuring 9" x 6". Each issue covers racing club news technical updates reader-submitted photographs and interestingly the emergence of women as motorcycle enthusiasts in an otherwise male dominated hobby. Includes February April May October and November 1950 issues. Printed by the George Banta Company.<br /> Originally founded in 1916 The Enthusiast is widely regarded as the longest continuously published motorcycle magazine in the United States. As the official mouthpiece of Harley-Davidson it functioned both as brand promotion and as a grassroots record of American motorcycling with emphasis on club activity national races and the patriotic connotation of riding Harley-Davidson machines in postwar America. These 1950 issues capture the post-WWII resurgence of motorcycling as both a recreational and competitive pursuit particularly among returning veterans and increasingly among women. Visually rich the covers feature dramatic photographic scenes: the February 1950 issue shows a rider mid-wheelie over rocky terrain on a 1949 Harley-Davidson 125 captioned "Cross-country on a 1949 Harley-Davidson 125"; the April cover depicts the Wroten Family of motorcyclists lined up at "Rose Park" titled "Hydra-Gliding with the Wroten Family." In May a parade of riders cruises down a tree-lined highway under the banner "Cruising Down the Highway." The November issue highlights a rider fording a stream in full gear the water splashing dramatically beneath his machine.<br /> <br /> Coverage of female riders is notably present in this period. The April 1950 issue introduces the Motorettes Motorcycle Club of Chattanooga Tennessee whose members appear in matching uniforms of white shirts dark skirts and caps. The caption names each woman: "Lou Riggsby Betty Hollingsworth Mary Joe Pate Fay Tate and Clara Voiles. Second row from left: Clara Manasco Mabel Huggins Alice Hollingsworth Shirley McPherson and Elizabeth Jones." In the same issue the "Fair Feminine Fans" column celebrates women riders like "Miss Virginia Lane of Florence Alabama" and "Miss Lorna Lamb of Chicago" the latter pictured on a Harley-Davidson 45 "heading into the mountain trails to her favorite fishing streams." One particularly revealing note appears in a section reporting on the Buccaneer Motorcycle Club's "Reliability Run" in Corpus Christi Texas. There "a girls' division" is highlighted: "Top honors went to Ollie Lee Houser. second Olliene Earls and Dolly Smothers third." A photograph shows the three women standing beside a flathead Harley-Davidson 45 with trophy in hand. The magazine's inclusion of competitive female riders "very attractive Motorettes" underscores the growing visibility of women in the motorcycle world.<br /> <br /> Also included is a full spread on the September 1950 Langhorne 100-mile National Speedway Championship won by Billy Huber on a Harley-Davidson: "He finished in 69 minutes 20.69 seconds a scant 27.24 seconds slower than the record set by Jim Chann in 1949." The spread includes detailed action shots and rider commentary reflecting The Enthusiast's deep engagement with the national racing circuit. Light wear to spines and corners with minor handling marks and creases. Interior pages uniformly clean and supple. Very good condition overall. A vivid and culturally significant group of early postwar issues of The Enthusiast reflecting the expanding role of women in motorcycling the popularity of Harley-Davidson racing and the brand's deeply embedded identity in American civic life-captured in documentary photographs riders' testimonials and grassroots club culture. unknown

A large format densely illustrated bedsheet-sized pulp. "The fiction emphasized the woman's point of view was often narrated by a woman and featured as many feminine as masculine detectives. In the rear of the magazine flowered all the usual departments of a more conventional woman's publication . That this magazine would publish much fiction of interest seems improbable.

Over the years the magazine would publish work by top names in the mystery field including Ellery Queen Stuart Palmer Sax Rohmer Arnold Kummer Hulbert Footner Vincent Starrett and H. Bedford-Jones. The fiction was polished often strongly compressed and good enough for a large amount of it to appear later between book covers. The magazine appeared monthly for almost six years sixty-nine issues at ten cents a copy. After three years the title was changed to THE MYSTERY MAGAZINE . Covers were tasteful bright and uneventful relying heavily on the faces of self-confident women. Inside was an astonishing amount of material: eight to ten pieces of fiction four or more crime-fact articles and up to ten continuing departments about half of these slanted directly toward women. When the magazine was at its peak in the early 1930s it offered material carefully calculated to appeal to most tastes and both sexes . MYSTERY was as meticulously planned as an orchestral score. Its careful variations played upon every shade of reader interest. It was consciously polished self-consciously feminine. A curious pared sound rang in its fiction as if the stories had been edited with a chain saw but the prose flashed with a bright nickel glitter. Slick the magazine may have been and often over illustrated but it was also considerably interesting and for years excellent." - Cook Mystery Detective and Espionage Magazines pp. 287-90.
