Publisher: Cleveland, Ohio, The Stahl Gear & Machine Company: Unknown

Seller ID: 0325

Binding: Card Cover

Condition: Very Good

These suede-carded Christmas books generally were published by a wholesaler who sold them to various companies with an insertion page advertising the business. The buyer then distributeds copies to clients and colleagues as Christmas gifts. This one, however, shows no third party publisher and no date. The only clue to origin is the first page which reads "To you who have helped make this past year a pleasant one, it is a pleasure to extend cordial Seasons Greetings and sincere good wishes for the New Year.

An amazingly nice issue of a popular magazine at the turn of the 20th century. No only is it clean and tightly bound, but it also retains its yapped edges and has the most pristine spine I have ever seen on a century old magazine. The main article is a story about the British Parcel Post and how it ran, but there are other more fetching topics such as "The Power and Beauty of Woman's Eyes", "Platonic Friendship" and "Society's Amateur Circuses." Plus there's pieces on the captains of industry of the day, an idea for equitable taxation and the teaching profession's hardships and rewards. The t...

Price: $22.00

Publisher: Burlington, Vermont, Wells, Richardson & Co.: 1897

Seller ID: 0399

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Good-plus

I have always been fascinated by the patent medicine peddlers (otherwise known as snake oil salesmen)who offered a magic pill for anything that ailed you. Their advertising is very collectible ,be it magazine ads or trade cards. But here we have something a little different -- a booklet of 29 pages of dense text broken up by black and white art, all of which tells the story of Charles Wills who went to India, discovered the Cake of Healing and used it to make pills so fine he called them "the best pills in the world." What's interesting about it is that it's told as a long story replete with m...
