19343798<p>This delightful pictorial map focusing on the North Pacific Ocean was distributed as a premium in connection with the syndicated radio program "Air Adventures of Jimmie Allen." The program featuring Jimmie Allen as an adventurous 16-year old pilot ran from 1933 to 1937 and from 1946 to 1947 and was sponsored initially by the Skelly Oil Company.</p><p>Background on the show appears on the Radio Days Theater of the Mind Museum website http://radiodaysmuseum.org<strong>:</strong></p><p><strong>"Broadcast History:</strong> 1933 to 1937 and 1946 to 1947.</p><p>The writers of Jimmie Allen had been flying aces in World War I. They came up with the idea of a show about a boy pilot while at a party in Kansas City and used their experience as pilots to create and write the show.</p><p>The show was one of the first to capitalize on the idea of a club as a promotional tool. To join the Jimmie Allen Flying Club all a child had to do was apply at any Skelly Gas Station the initial sponsor. As a member the child received a whole host of goodies ranging from a set of wings through to a "personal" letter from Jimmie himself. An incredible 600000 club newspapers were sent out to children each week and many thousands attended the Jimmie Allen Air Races that were held in Midwest cities.</p><p>The show was first broadcast between 1933 and 1937 and then came back to the air with brand new stories after the war between 1946 and 1947. The post-war stint in no way lived up to the fascination for the show in the 1930s."</p><p>http://radiodaysmuseum.org/index.php/our-collection-1/2-old-time-radio-shows/7-juvenile/265-air-adventures-of-jimmie-allen-the</p><p>An uncommon map.</p><p><strong>References:</strong> David Rumsey Map Collection: List no. 11105.001.

Loosely tucked in between pp. 12 adn 13 is a notice of a meeting led by A. C. Scott. Both men were Methodist ministers in Oregon. Edward Robinson was one of the most prominent English-speaking Biblical Scholars in the 19th century holding professorships first at Andover-Newton and later Union Theological Seminary. 'His most important fruit . was the preparation of an independent Greek and English Lexicon of the New Testament which at once took the place of the his own translation of Wahl's Clavis. He made frequent use of his predecessors — Bruder Schleussner Wahl Bretschneider and all exegetic sources of importance; and. in the later editions particularly of the commentaries of De Wette and Meyer which he preferred on account of their great philological advantages and concise brevity without however allowing them to disturb his American orthodoxy in any important point. This extremely valuable and sterling work first appeared in 1836 and was at once welcomed as the best English lexicon of the New Test. and reprinted in three different editions in England. A new edition greatly improved and in part entirely altered appeared in 1850 and made it the first work of its kind to the present time. It is likewise an almost complete concordance and enables the student to nearly dispense with Bruder. This work is a monument of labor and industry. Its motto is 'Dies diem docet' and 'Nulla dies sine linea.'' McClintock & Strong 'Robinson was born near Southington Connecticut the-son of a Congregational minister. He was educated at Hamilton College in Clinton New York 1812-16. On a visit to Andover in 1822 Robinson fell under the spell of Moses Stuart who persuaded him to study in the seminary. In 1826 Robinson went to Europe where he studied four years primarily at Halle and Berlin. Returning to Andover he was named Professor of Biblical Literature in 1830. In 1837 Robinson was appointed to the faculty of Union Theological Seminary in New York which had been founded the year prior. William Baird History of New Testament Research II/28.
