Butler and John C. Spencer holds a celebrated status in the legal history of the state. It "was the first attempt to create and establish for any commonwealth governed by the English Common Law and by legislative statutes . of a body of written law systematically arranged based on the principles of law as a science regulating the exercise of public and private rights establishing domestic property and contract relations and covering the administration of every department of the government without touching the integrity of the unwritten law or transcending the proper bound of legislative control" Goodrich Restatement and Codification p. 253. Fearing that the importance of the revision would be lost on future generations William Allen Butler B. F. Butler's son and a noted New York lawyer organized portraits of the revisers to be commissioned and the present work published to detail the history of their project as well as provide biographical details on their lives. The present issue is a rare large paper edition limited to 25 numbered copies this being number 19. An early owner of this copy has extra-illustrated the work with letters by William Allen Butler 3 Benjamin Franklin Butler 3 Duer 1 and Spencer 1 Francis L. Stetson 1 and Thomas Addis Emmet 1 all on legal matters some written to each other. Banks & Brothers unknown

This counter display photo catalogue extolled the virtues and advantages of the Champion Berger Rotary Snow Plow developed and produced by Erskine Manufacturing of Minnesota. Founded in 1948 following World War II they were one of the first companies to pioneer and manufacture rotary snow blowers and plows for farm tractors and proved to be an immediate hit. These photos show the rear rotary snow plow fitted to all popular 25 horsepower or more tractors such as Farmall Allis Chalmers Case International Harvester and other tractors. They could be easily installed in minutes rather than hours for front snow plow implements were used with ease with any snow removal job avoided the common problems of more powerful front snow blowers such as bucking and breakage to both tractor & plow and could be easily controlled from the tractor seat. According to contemporary newspaper and trade magazine advertisements as well as the reproduced sales contracts in this group the cost typically ran from $ 300.00 to $ 325.00 for the Champion Berger and the testimonial letters to Valley Implement in upstate New York between Buffalo & Rochester rave about the performance.
