Boards a bit rubbed binding tight pages clean and bright. 1929 Hard Cover. We have more books available by this author!. 96 pp. Tall 8vo. Blue cloth black titles and decorations. At least three binding variants exist silver with black titles navy blue with white titles and this version. Both a celebration and a critique of American culture in the 1920s presented as a series of vignettes focusing on various aspects of business and society each paired an illustration by John Vassos in the Art Deco style. Vassos was an influential figure in industrial design and was responsible for a great deal of the products designed for the radio industry though his most important design is probably the Perey turnstile which is still a standard in mass transit. Before this though Vassos gained prominence through his book illustrations. Contempo was the first to gain attention but he was also known for illustrating several works by Oscar Wilde and his works Phobia and Ultimo both mixed artwork with social commentary. Topics include: electricity; advertising; skyscrapers; the subway; prohibition; the Jew; traffic; radio; the department store; psychologia; the market; the market; commercialism; air conquest; the beach; sports; the movies; Washington; the tabloids; religion; suburbia; science; and modern art.

Bailey 1881-1974 and Ruth Margaret Bailey 1891-1957</b></p><p>Vesta I. Bailey was born on 22 October 1881 and her sister Ruth Bailey was born on 20 April 1891. They were the daughters of printer Robert M. Bailey 1849- and his wife Ida S. Smith 1853-1907. Ida S. Smith was the daughter of George M. Smith and his wife Sarah of Middlebury Vermont. Ida had a sister Edna S.L. Smith 1852-1899 who died in Somerville. There are several letters in this collection written to Edna. Edna never married. It does not appear that Vesta or Ruth ever married either. There are also several letters written by Robert M. Bailey to his wife Ida as well as a couple of other letters written to or by Ida some letters are written to the Bailey's other children Morris and Stanton.</p><p>Robert Bailey married Ida on 14 June 1876 in Middlebury Vermont. Robert appears to have been from the Bakersfield Franklin Co. Vermont area and had moved to the Middlebury Vermont by 1870. Besides Vesta and Ruth the Baileys also had at least three other children: Harris Stanton and Morris.</p><p>Robert Bailey moved to Somerville Massachusetts from Middlebury sometime between 1881 and 1886 as his daughter Vesta born 1881 was born in Vermont but his son Stanton born 1886 was born in Massachusetts. In 1900 the Bailey family lived in Somerville when the census was taken. By the 1910 Census Mrs. Bailey had died the father continued to work in the printing trade and both Vesta and Ruth were at home not working. Their brother Stanton was living at home working as a rodman for a civil engineering firm.</p><p>Around 1913 Ruth appears to have secured a job in Port Arthur New York as a stenographer. She graduated in June of 1913 from the Somerville High School. She also hunted for a job at a hotel in the Adirondacks for the summer and much of the correspondence between the sisters was during this period. Other than this time the two sisters appear to have lived together most of their lives in the family home in West Somerville Massachusetts as neither ever appears to have married. The Bailey's had family in Port Arthur the family of C.A. Chapman whose daughters and son write to Ruth and Vesta. Ruth appears to have possibly lived with the Chapman family when she worked at Port Arthur.</p><p>The 1920 Census finds the sisters living with their father their mother had died. Their brother Morris and Stanton are living with them as is Morris' wife. Vesta being older appears to be keeping house for her father and brothers while Ruth is working as a stenographer at a leather goods factory.</p><p>Vesta in the 1930 Census is listed living at 50-R College Ave Somerville Massachusetts an address that shows up on much of the correspondence. She was listed as owning the home and her sister Ruth Margaret Bailey lived with her. It appears to be the family home that the sisters took over as they got older. Also in the house in 1930 was the sisters' brother Morris J. Bailey and his wife Abbie. Morris appears to have followed in his father's footsteps and worked as a pressman in the printing trade.</p><p>In the 1940 Census the sisters were found still living at the family home on College Avenue in West Somerville. Both of the women were listed as working as clerks. Vesta worked in the State House and Ruth worked at the "Un. Comp. Comm" Unemployment Compensation Commission. Their brother Morris was living with them still working in the printing trade.</p><p>Vesta I. Bailey never married and died at Somerville in 1974. Ruth Margaret Bailey died in 1957.</p><br /> books
