Fortune Magazine September, 1938(William Morris Theatrical Agency, Poloroid Curtiss-Wright Planes)

By: Chamberlain, Ed et.al

Price: $30.00

Publisher: New York City, Time: 1938

Seller ID: 2997

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Very good

Before I say anything else the fly in the lower front corner of the front cover is part of the design. It's so realistic I actually tried waving it away! Now then, the magazine is clean and tightly bound and has several interesting articles. I think the best stories are the success of Canada, the Curtiss-Wright company and its planes; Poloroid (remember waiting for the picture to emerge?); and the William Morris Theatrical Agency. Other articles cover corn products, business and government (timely!), and anarchy in the hat business! Magazine measures 11-1/2"x 14" and has 142 pages. There's a s...

By: Miner, C.R.

Price: $10.00

Seller ID: 2044

This one is really elaborate with EIGHT drawings and five pages of dense text. I did a little research on the inventor, C.R. Miner, and found that he was from Cleveland, Ohio. I also saw that Michigan State University has a published print of another of his aviation inventions from 1933. If you are interested in a certain kind I'm happy to look for you.

Binding: Card cover

Though it seems to be a booklet with nothing but the passenger list, both first class and tourist, in 1958 and'59. There's much more than a list of names -- there's a beautiful full color picture of the Empress of Britain, the times for White Empress Sailings, and a look at the Empress of Britain. The best thing though is the fun and sun. There's also a map showing Canadian Pacific picturesque short routes to and from Europe.
