Original gray printed softcovers black lettering front cover minor corner chip to first page couple closed tears w/ minor repairs dustsoiling to fore-edges still a VG- copy. First edition of this exceedingly scarce catalogue of touting “Kelloggâ€truss bridges which consisted of Pratt inner bracing with additional diagonals and were popular in the Northeast at the end of the 1800’s until about 1901-1905 spanning between 75 to 150 feet. These types of bridges played a crucial role in road building driven by the Good Roads Movement during the opening decades of the 20th century. At the end of the 19th century less than 50% of roads within American cities were paved and the very few highways and turnpikes connecting cities and towns were little more than crushed rock macadam dirt roads or even paths. Although founded in the 1880s by bicycling enthusiasts the Good Roads Movement at the beginning of the 20th century began to be driven largely by advocates of the automobile who favored sturdy durable bridges which could be easily maintained. These Kellogg truss bridges featured riveted steel trusses and were often anchored in stone foundations. Charles H. Kellogg the elder was an active bridge engineer and builder whose firm wen through several different configurations and owners between 1870-1915 while his son Charles H. Kellogg the younger operated his own company from 1891-1901 and should not be confused with the short-lived Kellogg Iron Bridge Works Co. which was using the Union Bridge Company’s shop.

First edition of this uncommon catalogue of equipment which played a crucial role in road building driven by the Good Roads Movement during the opening decades of the 20th century. At the end of the 19th century less than 50% of roads within American cities were paved and the very few highways and turnpikes connecting cities and towns were little more than crushed rock macadam dirt roads or even paths. Sidewalks were nearly unknown and unlike Europe road construction was not primarily managed by national or local governments. Although founded in the 1880s by bicycling enthusiasts the Good Roads Movement at the beginning of the 20th century began to be driven largely by advocates of the automobile. This catalogue illustrates Avery road tractors graders scarifiers blades drag scrapers and more building roads in Texas Oklahoma Idaho Nebraska Kansas Indiana and more. The Avery company was founded initially in Galesburg IL following the Civil War by Robert and John Avery with Robert as the ever-intrepid inventor and machinist one of whose earliest inventions was the riding cultivator. By 1883 and teamed up with his brother Cyrus the company proved successful and after 1892 became well-known for their internal combustion engine equipment. By 1920 the company led by Bartholomew employed 4000 people and pioneered motor cultivators and road-building equipment but was hit by the post-World War I depression about the time this catalogue was issued and although the company attempted to reorganize and laid off 90% of its workforce it failed by 1923 and was renamed the Avery Power Machinery Co. The company limped through the Great Depression and closed finally in World War II. No copies in Worldcat; See: Mowitz The Once-Great Tractor Innovator Lost to Time Successful Farming Nov. 20 2024.
