Founded originally in 1910 in the City of Portland by David Shope 1862-1948 having developed his specialized brick-making machinery for clay & concrete bricks as featured in the final photograph the company’s products quickly proved popular with Arts & Crafts architects in the Pacific Northwest. Shope used a patented process to achieve what he termed the “Red Wire Cut†and “Old Gold Rough Texture†for commercial facades and also used concrete cast stone to achieve special effects and sold his licensed machinery to contractors as well. By 1922 he heavily marketed the fact that the Shope facades were the only ones to mostly survive the 1922 Astoria fire. He also aggressively protected his patents suing competitors on a regular basis. After 1923 he sold out to the Eugene Concrete Pipe Company and returned to Lake City MN where he lived with his daughter Birdie. Gensler 1873-1968 was a German-American photographer in San Francisco CA who operated Columbia Commercial Studio from about 1915 through World War II before moving back to Alameda CA and in two of the photos he has proudly displayed his 1915 Harley-Davidson V-Twin motorcycle in the foreground.

19376916Malden Mass: Jacob W. Powell 1937. Very good. 9¼†x 6¼â€. Blue pebbled cloth title gilt. Pp. xvi 136 60 of 60 photographically illustrated plates interspersed. Very good: light wear a hint of toning to leaves.<br /> <br /> This is a detailed and heavily illustrated travelogue written by an AME Zion Elder and religious educator Jacob W. Powell. The first three pages of the book include a detailed chronology of Powell's life along with his numerous certifications related to religious teaching. From it we learn that Powell was born a Methodist Episcopalian in 1866 and converted to the AME Zion Church in Boston in 1881. He worked as a stenographer for a number of religious and civil clients before becoming ordained a Deacon and later Elder. Powell served as Pastor of a few AME Zion and Baptist churches and according to this book's dedication taught over 4000 students during his 54-year career. <br /> <br /> The book is simultaneously a travel log travel guide and collection of Powell's short essays on various religious subjects. It relays Powell's account of his six-week tour and is broken up into 25 chapters each with numerous subdivisions. Powell described his observations of myriad sights and experiences throughout Rome Naples Genoa Marseilles Alexandria and Cairo and Palestine. He related an incident involving a “Mohammedan lad†who took a liking to him and his group while they were visiting mosques surmising that “perhaps my similar complexion helped to draw him toward me†and of whom he snapped a photograph angering a crowd of adults who had gathered nearby. His writing while often rambling is also often action-packed such as this near accident returning to Marseilles:<br /> <br /> “ANOTHER THRILLING INCIDENT—as it looked to me our ship came perilously near 'going on to rocks' just before we reached the narrow outlet from Marseilles Harbor . . . . jagged rocks loomed ominously on either side of this narrow outlet as the 'Excalibur' pushed her prow forward. Hardly any saw the danger until the Captain in the pilot house looked out of his window and shouted to his deck officers 'Throw out your sheet anchor!' Immediately the command was obeyed good discipline aboard this ship and the staunch vessel stood fast within fifty yards or so from the perilous rocks!â€<br /> <br /> Powell's descriptions are complemented by detailed historical and geographical data as well as 60 plates of maps illustrations and photographic images. He clearly intended this to be a guide book as well as he provided histories of seemingly countless tourist destinations as well as information on languages locals cities he did not get to visit and more. He also waxed on many religious topics including the history of Christianity provided brief statements of the beliefs of Muslims and Jews and devoted four pages to his outline on the symbolism of the book of Revelation.<br /> <br /> Also of note is a rare piece of ephemera laid in to the book: Powell's promotional order form for this book as well as others he'd written along with a number of blurbs.<br /> <br /> A meticulous and well-illustrated travelogue and collection of religious essays by an African American educator and religious leader. OCLC locates five copies. [Jacob W. Powell] unknown

191634332Pueblo CO: The Franklin Press. 1916. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. This volume written by Jewella Civil War soldier had started the process of becoming a Mason but was interrupted two weeks later by joining the Union army in 1862. After serving in the winter of 1865/66 he became Master Mason. The book contains the stories of soldiers who when captured by the Confederates or the Federal Army once they were known to be a Mason were treated as brothers and well cared for. Cleary Jewell had solicited these stories as they are mostly signed by the former soldier/Mason who experienced these considerations. The book also contains a brief autobiography of Jewell as well as some thoughts on Masonry war and related subjects. The Masonry scholar Michael A Halleran wrote in the journal "Heredom" suggesting the Masonry affiliation aided prisoners on both sides of the conflict. Jewell's book is considered one of the earliest works addressing the Freemasonry's role in the Civil War though Halleran does criticize it for being "anecdotal." See volume 15 2007 of "Heredom." The book is near fine with a few small spots on the front board. Extremely scarce.; Small 8vo 7½" - 8" tall; 127 pp . The Franklin Press hardcover
