192680739Nashville: The McQuiddy Press 1926. First Edition. First printing. Inscribed on front endpaper: "To Nettie Spielman / with best wishes from / Geo. D. Hay "Solemn Old Judge" dated 1933. Tight Near Fine copy lacking the dustwrapper. <br /> <br /> Hay 1895-1968 started his career in print journalism but made his name as a radio personality primarily in Nashville where he was the originator and long-time Master of Ceremonies of the Grand Ole Opry program on WSM from which the venerable live stage variety show at the Ryman Auditorium drew its name. Between musical acts Hay would intersperse comic interludes in the character of "The Solemn Old Judge" a character he had first invented for his column "Howdy Judge" in the Memphis Commercial Appeal. These columns are reproduced here; they are mostly in the form of racist caricature very much drawn from the minstrel show tradition the typical premise being an African-American character appearing in court before a white judge with much white-supremacist hilarity to follow the Black voices written in exaggerated dialect. <br /> <br /> Hay adapted his "Solemn Old Judge" persona to radio along the way establishing the basic character of the popular American "hillbilly" music industry - white southern and racially segregated - that placed country music in direct opposition to the race-mixing socially "degenerate" music of the northern cities especially New York. In the words of sociologist Richard Peterson: "The down home rural card was a good card to play.because there was such fear of what was happening in the cities. There was so much race mixing there was so much jazz there was all kinds of degradation in music. Here was a way of finding a pure unadulterated American music that came out of an Anglo-Saxon background. They Hay and the Grand Ole Opry made up a whole bunch of stuff." quoted in American Public Media "New York Clashes With the Heartland" audio documentary. An historically important book despite its racially offensive underpinnings somewhat scarce and seldom found signed. The McQuiddy Press unknown

Official Council blindstamp at the bottom right corner. Very Good. <br /> <br /> The Sovereigns of Industry established in 1874 grew out of the Patrons of Husbandry a mutual aid society for farmers. The Sovereigns sought members among all workingmen not just farmers. Its purpose articulated by its founder William H. Earle of Massachusetts was "elevating the character improving the condition of and as far as possible perfecting the happiness of the laboring classes" through the establishment of consumer cooperatives. The cooperative network would allow workers to "control the whole of what they produce and exchange it as near as may be even with other hand-workers thus saving to themselves the fortunes which those who are devoted to manipulating other people's labour and to getting rich thereby have heretofore taken by extortion."

1917Q1817New York: Privately printed for Robert J.F Schwarzenbach 1917. Hardcover. Good. Quarto 12 x 9.25 inches bound in half Morocco with striped silk; 167 3pp. Top edge gilt bottom edge untrimmed.

The monograph was initially issued to mark the U.S. operation's 25th anniversary in 1912 when they moved to a massive 12-story headquarters in New York where the iconic Silk Clock was installed in 1926. Although the book made it to press in 1913 the foreword indicates The first compilation was hurried however and lacking in many essentials" especially "data and illustrations from abroad 11. This edition has been embellished with all the visual bells and whistles Robert Schwarzenbach desired incorporating an uncommonly broad range of printing techniques from photogravure to offset lithography. Copious in-text portraits vignettes and ornaments are peppered with 35 total leaves of platesmany printed both sides and on varying paper stocks: 2 photogravure plates 3 full color plates 25 leaves with 39 pages of halftone photographs many two-tone one folding plate and 4 leaves with 7 pages with striking color charts reminiscent of DuBois' data graphics. The book details the company's history and global operations with a hefty portion devoted to its American facilities and operations. While largely celebrating its present state the text notably goes into detail about the political and economic conditions: "The year 1896 was in other respects disappointing. The free silver campaign of William Jennings Bryan demoralized business. It was during this periodwhich followed the enactment of the Dingley Tariffthat imports steadily fell off and the silk industry of the United States experienced almost monumental growth" 89. It also addresses advances in machinery the management of workers where those beautiful data graphics come in and the company's civic responsibilities. A lavish and thoughtful production that humbles modern luxury brand monographs.

14784Bournemouth Guardian Ltd. Printers Etc. 194 & 196 Commercial Road Bournemouth. April 1943. 4pp. 8vo. Bifolium. Printed in small type. In fair condition on aged and worn paper with short closed tears at edges of folds. An interesting perspective on the British aviation industry from what Dr T. R. Bromund of Yale University has described as 'the industrial wing of the Empire lobby'. The opening paragraph reads: 'Owing to the recent resignation of the entire Board with one exception of the British Overseas Airways Corporation the public has become dimly aware that British Air Transport is facing a crisis but as yet has little or no idea of the magnitude of the issues involved. It cannot be expected to grasp the inescapable truth that on the result of the handling of these issues may depend the whole future of British Overseas Trade and consequently of the way of life in these Islands. This is no exaggeration as we shall show in the opening paragraphs.' What follows is a brief 'history of British Air Transport since Air Transport became an accomplished fact' the author's contention being that Britain 'finished the last war with a Fighting Air Fleet vastly superior to any other in the world' and that this was 'immediately cut to a mere skeleton and it never seems to have occurred to the Government of the day to regard the air as of the smallest important from a Civil point of view.' After this section on 'Early Struggles' there sections headed 'An Imperial Basis' 'Vital Issues' 'Wanted - A Man' 'The Freedom of the Air' 'Looking Ahead' 'The Sea and the Air' and 'Now'. The author's contention is that 'The Empire which depends for its very existence on military co-operation at the present moment will in the future depend equally on commercial co-operation.'

1879List2997Big Spring Virginia 1879. Handbill measuring 8 ¾ x 11 ¾ inches. Marginal damage especially to top; marked in pencil at top left; very good. A handbill describing a process for curing tobacco patented in 1879 by John W. Barnett of Big Spring a town in northern Virginia. Tobacco has long been a hugely important cash crop in the region; in 1860 Virginia was the top tobacco producer in the United States by a large margin. During the Civil War production in Virginia dropped precipitously and bounced back slowly but surely over the next decades.1 Barnett goes into great detail specifying exact times and temperatures for the process; for instance for the first twelve hours the fires should be renewed every two hours and twenty-four minutes. The process involves using water around the fires which slows the curing process. We find six copies of this handbill on OCLC.<br /> <br /> 1 Benjamin William Arnold “History of the Tobacco Industry in Virginia from 1860 to 1894†in Johns Hopkins University Studies in History and Political Science Fifteenth Series ed.

12998Various locations mostly Phoenix AZ 1980. 24 leaves illustrated with twenty-three mounted photographs plus dozens of mounted ephemeral items including letters documents certificates newspaper clippings and more plus a folder laid in containing television prompt copies. Folio. Contemporary brown vinyl scrapbook string tied. Minor overall wear some old tape stains to most items some items apparently re-mounted likely by a later friend or family member. Overall very good. A wonderful scrapbook celebrating the professional career of Evelyn Lorraine Thompson 1948-2005 on-air reporter and news anchor for KOOL-CBS Radio and Television and KTVK-TV in Phoenix Arizona in the 1970s. Thompson worked for KOOL straight out of college after graduating from Boston University in 1972. She was hired as a writer-producer for morning newscasts then worked as a full-time news reporter. Unusual for the era Thompson also served as KOOL's weekend sports reporter. She later moved to KTVK-TV also in Phoenix where she worked as a news anchor. We could find no other information about Thompson following about 1980 except for her brief obituary in the Arizona Republic.<br /> <br /> The present scrapbook provides a valuable snapshot of Thompson's life and early career through a range of original photographs showing her as a child but with the majority showing her during her working years at KOOL and KTVK. The album also includes numerous letters to Thompson from a variety of correspondents thanking her for stories congratulating her for her positions at the news news releases and other documents announcing her personal appearances newspaper clippings when Thompson appeared in the paper either for a story or as the subject of a story and so forth. The scrapbook even includes the prompt copy of a speech given by her before sorority students at Northern Arizona University. For a deeper look at her life as a reporter or anchor a number of additional prompt copies of some of Thompson's stories are gathered in a manila envelope laid into the scrapbook. The scrapbook also includes award certificates most notably her award as one of the "Outstanding Young Women of America" in 1973. Altogether a unique assemblage of original materials documenting a trailblazing Black reporter and news anchor in the contemporary American West. unknown
AQ23305London: s.n. 1740 Single bifolium. 3pp 1. Docket title to verso of second leaf. A trifle creased. An early example of commercial Parliamentary lobbying literature published in small numbers for distribution to Members of Parliament in order to influence opinion in the run up to debates and divisions highlighting in eleven clear points the commercial situation for the wool trade in Worcester lamenting the failures of the Worcester Clothiers Company then appealing to Parliament for financial assistance. It is made clear that rival clothiers in Gloucestershire Somerset and Wiltshire have remained profitable and sought to export their wares abroad particularly to Turkey at which the Worcester trade has failed.
