Just got this from a collector who loved farm related ephemera. It's fairly hard to find, but interesting not only for its farm content, which mostly consists of the make-up of the bureau in various Portage Co. towns, but for its local names and accompanying advertising. Booklet measures 6"x9" and has 44 pages. Covers the following towns: Atwater, Aurora, Brimfield, Charlestown, Deerfield, Edinburg, Mantua, Palmyra, Paris, Randolph, Ravenna, Rootstown, Shalersville, Streetsboro, Suffield and Windham.

Seller ID: 1284
Condition: Very good
The bright color of this ad and its matching envelope caught my attention immediately, but after reading it it occurred to me that I have never had anything produced by Zenner-Raymond until now. The ad is complete as you see it, printed only on the front, and fits inside the envelope which measures 3-1/2"x6". Love the bold exterior message: Zenoleum Sheep Dip Is Not Poisonous." The postmark reads Detroit April 28, 1898 -- the ad was created from an 1897 study conducted by the State Agricultural College at Fort Collins, Colorado. Nice addition to an agriculture collection View more info

This is in amazing condition -- so crisp and clean it feels like new and looks like new. It even retains it's outer envelope as well as the three extra items which accompany the booklet. They are a stencil for Shaker tomatoes, a fold-out advertisement for the famous Shaker seeds, and a small booklet which explains how and why the whole package was designed and manufactured. I have seen the booklet before, but never with all its accoutrements. The booklet is wonderful --color art and text about the entrepreneurial skills of the Shakers.
