Composts of Tradition. A Book of Short Stories dealing with Traditional Sex and Domestic Situations

191385169Chicago: O. M. Heath & Co 1913. First Edition. First printing. Octavo 19cm. Purple ribbed cloth spine and cover titles in gilt; 3031pp; portrait frontispiece and five unnumbered leaves of photographic plates halftones. A tight clean copy free of markings with just a hint of sunning to spine cloth; very Near Fine. A collection of six short tales each intended to illustrate a different aspect of "the prevalence of degeneracy in the modern era" jacket. Composts of Tradition was self-published and marketed aggressively in contemporary periodicals including The Masses and Pearson's; one such advertisement in the January 1915 issue of Pearson's outlines the book's intention: "It is not a book for prudes either male or female. It is a book for aggressive and advanced thinkers. Among other doctrines it advocates: 1 Sterilization of physical social and mental defectives; 2 Annihilation of the stigma attached to the bar-sinister; 3 Encouragement of reproduction upon the part of the fit; 4 Maintenance of all children by society; 5 Monogamy but marriage ceremonies to be optional not obligatory; 6 Divorce by collusion." At least one of the stories "Maid of the Neptunian Strand" has fantasy elements. Oscar Morrill Heath c.1872-1952 was a Chicago secondary school teacher and lecturer-for-hire on social subjects; beginning about 1905 through at least the 1920s we lose sight of him around 1930 he was the proprietor of a Chicago correspondence school for schoolteachers The Cultural Review School through whose auspices he issued a few ephemeral publications as well as a monthly magazine Teaching As A Profession. Additionally thanks to the trade card mounted in the front we know that Heath was the proprietor of at least two Chicago beauty parlors. From contemporary newspaper acccounts it appears that the current work landed Heath at least temporarily in hot water; the Chicago Tribune for November 6 1913 includes an article stating that Heath's status as an instructor at Englewood High School was "under review" pending publication of a book that was "critical of the nuptial bond" and seemed to condone childbirth out of wedlock. It is quite possible that Heath lost his position over the book as in subsequent years we find him advertising his services as a freelance instructor in a variety of topics including a review course in math for candidates to Army Officers' Candidate School during WW1. Despite its fetching title the current work is somewhat uncommon with fewer than 20 locations in OCLC most apparently in circulating collections. SMITH H-442. Not in Bleiler despite clear fantasy content. O. M. Heath & Co unknown

LA PLUME: The Correspondence Medium Devoted to the Connoisseur of the Unusual

196078814Brooklyn New York: La Plume 1960. Eight issues: Nos. 4-10 and 14. Long before the internet Grindr and other dating apps like-minded people with shared intimacy interests relied on personal ads printed in alternative newspapers and magazines. In the 1960s one could also subscribe to this small brochure mailed direct to your post office box offering connections to men and women all over the world looking for a connection. As they note in their marketing â€œLa Plume has been specifically created and designed to cater to the whims of those with a keen interest in the exotic the unusual and the modern way of life.â€ The booklets contain brief personal advertisements photographs and a special code assigned to each person. Find someone of interest write a letter and send it to La Plume which then forwards it to the potential connection for a $2 fee. Issue 4 contains small pencil checks mainly next to â€œbroad-mindedâ€ couples looking for the same. The publication caters to a wide-ranging audience with several personals concerning â€œtransvestiteâ€ individuals and men and women seeking same-sex connections. The booklet was referenced as evidence in a 1965 hardcore pornography case against an East Rutherford New Jersey police lieutenant who placed an advertisement under a pseudonym in the publication. Published five to six times per year LA Plume also carried advertising that would appeal to its readers such as Strip Checkers a health supplement called Love Potion No. 9 and sterile lubricant with hormones. Stapled booklet 3 Â½â€œ x 8 Â½â€ printed on newsprint with a spot color. Occasional checkmarks one page partially clipped in Issue 4; otherwise very good overall.
