019912No Place: No publisher. Unbound. Good. Adlai Stevenson For President Committee Archive of Correspondence Mailings Press Releases etc. All circa 1956. Perhaps 150-200 pieces. Most single typed sheets or memos with a few Adlai Stevenson newsletters telegrams etc. Three letters appear signed by Adlai Stevenson although it is not known whether it was him signing or a secretarial signature. The archive is from a well-connected insurance company executive who appears to have been active in Democratic politics. The archive has a vast amount of duplicate copies of original typed letters sent by the previous owner as well as responses mostly relating to fundraising events donations etc. Seating arrangements for events present as well as lists of donors etc. The typed letters from Stevenson signed by him seem to address the previous owner on a personal level so they may have known each other. Adlai Stevenson was a governor of Illinois and ran for president in 1952 and 1956 losing to Eisenhower both times. He served as the US Ambassador to the UN from 1961 to 1965. All in GOOD condition with two hole punches at the top edge. Minor creasing and wear with pencil notations to many of the pieces. No publisher unknown
1956021414No Place: No publisher 1956. Unbound. Good. No publisher or place. All 1956. Approximately 30-40 pieces. Most are duplicate typed sheets as well as some blank fundraising forms and envelopes and a lengthy guest list including number of tickets needed. These papers relate to a campaign fundraising dinner Adlai Stevenson and his campaign held on April 25th 1956 at the Waldorf. This includes duplicates of letters of invitations addressed to a variety of people; confidential campaign memos; blank fundraising forms; and a lengthy guest list that includes Eleanor Roosevelt among others. These are from an executive of a very large international insurance firm name of owner and firm withheld for privacy. The owner was a highly placed executive in an insurance company and travelled throughout the world extensively. They were active in politics through donations and fundraising and it appears their family was friendly with the Roosevelts especially Eleanor Roosevelt. The previous owner's work for the insurance company led them to meet with various heads of state worldwide including US government officials. Some of the people associated with this firm were also involved in World War II activities including financing the Flying Tigers in China as well as work for the OSS using knowledge gained from insurance work. While we have not found any direct connection to intelligence work by this owner their ties to those who did are strong. GOOD condition. All housed in a manila folder. Some are stapled many bear creases and are toned with some pencil or pen notes scattered throughout. No publisher unknown

021294No Place: No publisher. Unbound. Good. With signature of an alleged double agent. Well over 100 pieces. Most pieces are typed copies of originals although many bear signatures from the correspondents or authors. The earliest pieces document the US insurance company's considerations in expanding into Pakistan including discussing what the impact of Islam may have on the government. Later documents address expenses and investments as well as expansion within Pakistan. Of note is at least one document bearing the signature of a one time double agent for the US and Russia. While the name is withheld here for privacy the person originally served in the OSS during World War II. While serving as one of the higher ranking OSS agents they also transmitted secret information to Russia including allegedly mention of the Manhattan Project. In the 1950s they were accused of being a double agent and while strongly suspected they were not officially charged and they themselves denied accusations. However in the 1980s secret Russian documents were decoded in which code names for double agents were given and this person was found to be among those names. They subsequently worked for this company; thus their signature appears on a document or two.

Black and white photo on one side with advertising copy on the reverse along with a small illustration of the printing press.

1932021730Calvert TX: Calvert Colored High School Publisher 1932. Wraps. Good. Single sheet folded into four pages 8 ½ by 5 ½ inches. Cover mentions day and location of the commencement May 23rd at the WW.O.W. Temple. Interior lists the names of the senior class students as well as class officers Board of Education members and faculty members. The Calvert Colored High School was built in 1929 with aid from the Rosenwald School Fund. It was originally named Calvert County Training School. This school was a step toward providing real education to Black students in the area as most of the students at that time attended "plantation" schools until they were old enough to work in the fields. The school offered vocational training although apparently focusing on skills that would not conflict with occupations commonly held by white people Texas State Historical Landmark text. The school changed its name to the W.D. Spigner High School in 1961 named after its long time headmaster. GOOD condition. Appears to have been removed from a scrapbook or photobook as there are large areas of black paper adhered to the blank rear page. Horizontal fold crease present. Minor toning wrinkling and creasing. Calvert Colored High School, Publisher unknown
