Binding: Soft cover

Condition: Very Good

The graphic cover of this program catches the eye! Very handsome and in nice condition too. There's only a few small faults, being a tiny loss of paper to tail of spine. a small chip to top front corner next to spine and a minor bit of soiling to very edge at bottom of title and frontis pages. Measures 8"x10-1/2" and is illustrated throughout with photographs and maps. Much history, as well as the program of events and the script of the pageant staged in honor of the festivities. Unpaginated, but it's pretty hefty for a program.

Seller ID: 0122

Condition: Very good

This is a cool thing, whether you are an alum yourself or are looking for an ancestor who was a member. Looks like this was quite a bash, as brothers descended on the Hotel Hollendan for a five day gala -- December 27th to the 31st. It's interesting to note that Zeta Beta Tau was the first Jewish fraternity in the U.S.. It's not sectarian anymore, but it still was at the time of this event. The brochure measures 5-1/2"x8" and pulls out to reveal five printed page on the front and five on the back. Members came from City College of New York, Columbia, Pennsylvania.

Logan County Bicentennial Photo Album (Ohio -- Extra Ephemera Laid-in)

By: N/A

Price: $22.00

Publisher: Logan County, Ohio, Logan County Historical Society: 1976

Seller ID: 0491

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Fine

Oddly, here is no date on this pristine booklet, but opening remarks show that it coincided with the 200th anniversary of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence which places it in 1976. Laid-in is a brochure which is a second clue since it commemorates the 1976 designation of East Court Avenue, in Bellefontaine, Ohio as a National Historical Civil Engineering Landmark. It seems that this small town was the first place in the country to have a road paved with concrete. The booklet itself is filled with historic pictures and captions. 72 crisp, clean pages.

Seller ID: 0587

Binding: sebayoft cover

Condition: Very good

How nice to find programs for both the 1942 Baccalaureate AND Commencement for the Class of 1942 at Ohio's Oberlin College. What's even nicer is the fact that this offering also includes the Commencement arrangements, plus a flyer for the Commencement Concert by the A Capella Choir and the Conservatory Orchestra. Oberlin was, and is, lauded for its fine conservatory. Everything is clean and nice aside from a little toning to the right edge of the choir leaflet and two small spots on the cover of the Baccalaureate program. 1942 marked the 109th anniversary of the college.

Cleveland Official Souvenir of the Thirty-Fifth National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic 1911

By: N/A

Price: $40.00

Publisher: Cleveland, E.W. Doty: 1901

Seller ID: 0651

Binding: Soft cover

Condition: Good

Wonderful souvenir of the encampment of the Grand Old Army in Cleveland in September, 1911. The program is clean and tightly bound, but does have some faults which include small tears to the yapped edges, a slight vertical crease to a few front pages and soil in a distinct grid pattern to back cover. This is not an oil-based stain, as it does not appear on the reverse side. The binding is tight thanks to two staples, but I wonder if at one time it was bound with thread, as there are three very tiny holes through the entire spine. At any rate, the pages are clean as a whistle and there are 92 o...

Presentation Program Army-Navy Production Award York Corporation 1943

By: N/A

Price: $14.95

Publisher: Yoek, Pennsylvania, York Corporation: 1943

Seller ID: 0842

Binding: Soft cover

Condition: Very good

A little age toning to the cover is the only fault of this program published to commemorate the York Corporation (refrigeration and air conditioning) as recipient of the Army-Navy Production Award conferred on November 23, 1943. The first page indicates that the award is for high achievement in the production of war material. I have several times had programs for the Navy "E" Award, but this one surpasses it because it denotes production for both branches of service and is NOT a permanent award. Companies had to continue maintaining a level production level to be allowed to fly the "E" flag f...

With the exception of one small circular stain to front cover outside the margin of the cover image, a very tiny one at back, and a very small tear to upper front edge, program is very clean and nice. Inside is laid a very large folded advance publicity piece containing an unused registration form. But the best part is a 47 page transcript of one of the talks given at the conference addressing Whitman's world view. All pieces found together.

Here's another Cleveland item which I've never had before! Lately that's been happening quite a bit. Anyway, this one is very clean and nice with just a small bit of toning to edges. The cross on the front is a cut-out and the blue color is coming from the art inside. It's a painting and is tipped-in rather than having been printed on the page. The booklet measures 8"x10" and has 16 pages. Old Stone church is Presbyterian and very lovely, the backdrop for many weddings. Text consists of a formal resolution from both the Ohio Senate and the city of Cleveland commemorating the anniversary, a Hi...
