The issue for 1949 is the post-war stand-out with contributions by Andrew Abbie Brian Elliott Max Harris Charles Jury Hal Porter Orde Poynton Thorburn Brailsford Robertson and Geoff Wilson assorted artwork including the front cover. 8 items.

Contemporary flush-cut quarter leather and stippled cloth lettered in gilt on the front cover; neat repairs to the leather at the head and foot of the spine; acidic newsprint used for the last two numbers uniformly tanned; overall in excellent condition. The recto of the large folding supplement to Number 10 contains the text with three line illustrations of an article that 'appeared originally in the "SA Register" in six short letters': 'Protection or Freedom Our Manufactories Our People and Our Land Values'.

Although the Single Tax League of South Australia figures prominently throughout a notice printed at the foot of the last page of the first issue suggests the journal had a broader platform.

The labor involved is given voluntarily and gratuitously; any profits made will go entirely towards extending its range of operations.'

Piper 1865-1936 a South Australian Supreme Court judge with his small name-stamp and personal library number 677 on the front pastedown. Printed for the Proprietor and Publisher, A.

131661Very Good. A single leaf octavo printed recto only slightly marked with a marginal crease to a top corner; two light horizontal creases where folded for posting; in very good condition. The invitation headed '9th L.H.O.C.A.' 9th Light Horse Old Comrades Association invites members to give a hearty welcome to the old commanding officer Colonel William Henry Scott 1881-1960 who 'will be in Adelaide for a few days this month on a visit to his son'. The date for the event is not given but we suggest some time in the 1920s as Scott 'rose to brigadier in 1929' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Darley writes presumably as president of the association that 'it will be quite informal come along in your working clothes or anyhow you like and you need not get your hair cut for the occasion. If you clean your boots be sure to use NUGGET. Refreshments liquid only will be provided'. The ADB provides the answer to the unasked question: 'Scott contributed items to the "Bulletin" under the pseudonym of "Nugget" an ironic nickname considering his great height'. <p>Dornbusch 384; Fielding and O'Neill page 233; Trigellis-Smith 279. unknown
