Recent 3-ring binder lettering stamped on front cover NF. This counter display photo catalogue extolled the virtues and advantages of the Champion Berger Rotary Snow Plow developed and produced by Erskine Manufacturing of Minnesota. Founded in 1948 following World War II they were one of the first companies to pioneer and manufacture rotary snow blowers and plows for farm tractors and proved to be an immediate hit. These photos show the rear rotary snow plow fitted to all popular 25 horsepower or more tractors such as Farmall Allis Chalmers Case International Harvester and other tractors. They could be easily installed in minutes rather than hours for front snow plow implements were used with ease with any snow removal job avoided the common problems of more powerful front snow blowers such as bucking and breakage to both tractor & plow and could be easily controlled from the tractor seat. According to contemporary newspaper and trade magazine advertisements as well as the reproduced sales contracts in this group the cost typically ran from $ 300.00 to $ 325.00 for the Champion Berger and the testimonial letters to Valley Implement in upstate New York between Buffalo & Rochester rave about the performance. Carlson 1926-2019 first began as a photographer at 15 years of age and after photographing his first wedding in 1950 ran Carlson’s Studio for 40 years shooting across the surrounding Genesee Wyoming and Orleans Counties of New York.

According to Crawley "the pamphlet opens with an exchange of correspondence between Willard Richards and Zerubbabel Snow an associate justice of Utah Territory with Snow's opinion that Brigham Young proceeded properly in taking the census and organizing the territorial legislature prior to the arrival of the territorial appointees - all reprinted from the Deseret News of November 29 1851. Next are the plea of George A. Smith in defense of Howard Egan at Egan's trial before Snow for the murder of James Monroe and Snow's charge to the jury. These are followed by the text of the act of organizing Utah Territory and the names of the territorial officers appointed by Millard Fillmore September 28 1850.<br /> <br /> The preface signed by Franklin D. Richards and dated March 12 1852 opens with the declaration: "The following compilation may be considered a complete refutation of the charges contained in the Report of the returned Judges for Utah against His Excellency Governor Brigham Young and the citizens of that Territory" - a reference to the tract 'Polygamy Revived in the West' which Lowe had used in his lecture. And in the next-to-last paragraph: "The Organic Act is also introduced that all who wish may know the foundation upon which the organization and government of the Territory of Utah rests.'"
