Crisp, clean booklet without defect and a bit hard to find. Tells the story of the entrepenurial Reed family who came to Mansfield, Ohio in a booming Civil War economy and set up shop. They were still thriving when the booklet was written in 1976. What I love is that they were in the BOOK business (but also sold wallpaper and furniture) and excelled at it. Their numbers are nothing short of extraordinary -- in 1868 sales totaled $92,724.64!!!!! Eventually they moved into stationery, perfume, corsets, silk and other fashion accessories as -well. Booklet measures 5-1/2"x8-1/2", is illustrated with historic photographs, and has 48 pages.
