21323Very good. Three-page manuscript letter approximately 800 words from Dr. G.A. Hinnen of Cincinnati Ohio to his parents. Dated March 22 1937 and written on letterhead of the National Association for the Elimination of Home Work of which the Hinnen was on the Advisory Committee. Writing more than a month after the devastating flood that stretched from Pittsburgh to Cairo Illinois and left 385 people dead Hinnen expresses gratitude that Cincinnati where 100000 lost their homes suffered less than many other cities. "Considering the horrors of it and its enormous extent not a case of typhoid.and but two deaths by drowning -- a truly remarkable record when you figure the river at a depth of 80 feet when 12 is the norm. Here at Cinti the river was 1 1/2 miles in width. At Louisville I understand it was 15 miles." After describing the utter devastation of most of the small towns around Louisville he returns to conditions in Cincinnati writing that that the city's "greatest hardship was lack of water. When the pumping plant finally submerged at 75 feet we were in a quandry. For two weeks not a trickle out of any faucet. So we hauled water. You have heard and read about bread lines but little did we expect to participate in a water line. Norwood St. Bernard Wyoming Ohio Columbus Chicago Indianapolis Dayton Hamilton all came to our rescue most valiantly. The Penn RR brought in 40000 gal. from Chicago. Water was paddled in the streets from concrete mixers tanks and whatnot. They would ring bells and people dashed out madly with any available receptacle.All business was suspended. Drug stores and food shops were the only stores allowed to be open. Where electricity was available you were allowed but a single small light to a house and on the radio fire police and emergency orders were constantly being transmitted. No autos allowed below Court St. While not actually martial law it practically amounts to it. No street lights at night. I never saw such desolation." A well-written and compelling account of life in Cincinnati in the aftermath of disaster. unknown books

21482Kansas City: T.J. Green & Co. Undated likely early 20th century. Four cards measuring approximately 2.5 x 4.5 inches each advertising a differrent residential development in Kansas City: Eaton Place Forest Park Melba Park and Chesterfield Each card has brief promotional text "fine residence lots" "magnificent view every lot 2 to 3 feet above grade close to good school stores and churches" prices ranging from $175 to $425 and directions on one side and a map showing the streets and numbered lots on the other. Three cards near fine one Melba Park very good with a spot of abrasion on the map side. The T.J. Green Company was established in 1881. By 1886 a book on the city's commercial development The Commerce of Kansas City praised them as "among the most prominent and reliable firms" involved in developing the areas of the city beyond the central business district that would meet the needs of a rapidly growing population. "Their system is to purchase acre tracts that are in good locations and as near as possible to city itself then to subdivide them into town lots and so dispose of them on the open market. This is really developing the city or in other words it is constantly creating new additions and suburbs. That these transactions have proved most profitable under the experienced management of this firm is shown in the daily increasing value of this class of property and in the fact that not a single client who has acted on their advice has failed to make a very handsome return on his investment." Evidently the company's success continued; the four tracts offered on these cards are listed as the company's 52nd 53rd 56th and 57th "additions." We find no examples of these or other T.J. Green advertising cards in OCLC. T.J. Green & Co unknown
