Dark blue cloth boards with gilt titles and decoration to spine. Book shows general wear, marking and scuffing to back cover. Front cover is fairly well preserved with light edge and corner wear. Hinges are both worn to intact binding mesh and loose. Page block still quite solid, with no marking of any kind to interior/text. Title page reads "Five comprehevsive books in one volume": The Industrial Age; The World's Science and Invention; Marvelous Peculiarities and Noteworthy Facts of All Nations and Countries of the World; Amazing Wonders of Nature; and Things We All Should Know. "Nearly" 400 photographic illustrations. A fine example of the boyish exuberance of the beginning of the industrial age, when the triumphant White Man and his Noble God were destined to rule the known world and all its native wonders as toys for the expansion of empire, no mind to the rape of the earth and any non-Christians who happen to live there. Cut the giant forests to build ships! We grow great like a virus!

First editions of this excellent small archive of very scarce original catalogues for the amazing array of workhorse industrial locomotives produced by the J.D. Fate and Fate-Root-Heath Co. from before World War I through the Great Depression. The Plymouth Locomotive Co. was originally launched as a joint venture as a gasoline truck builder from 1909-1915 and their first Friction Drive Locomotive was developed for the Bigelow Clay Co. in New London in 1912 leading to their entire line-up of industrial and narrow gauge switching engines as well as underground mining locomotives. The venture proved so successful they sold off the Plymouth Truck Co. badge to Chrysler in 1915 and focused primarily on locomotives. Their friction drive transmission was copied by other locomotive builders but they had perfected the concept and were able to operate their locomotives under a heavy load without sudden jerk sand speed was variable with no changing gears and could climb steeper grades than any other locomotive. The J.D. Fate Co. joined with their in-laws in 1919 to form the Fate-Root-Heath Co. which would later adopt the Plymouth Locomotives Co. label and would later shift from Ohio to Chicago IL as their main distribution hub. Their locomotives serviced logging operations lumber yards and sawmills across the Western United States as well as coal mining gold mining and other large mining operations for open pit as well as underground. Original individual catalogues are quite scarce and not one of these appear in institutional collections although the Hagley Museum Henry Ford and Smithsonian do contain smatterings of catalogues dating from 1920-1974.
