By Mike Prero the Earliest Known RMS BULLETIN NO. 578 January/February 2016 by Mike Prero The earliest known Political cover, as far as I know, is ―Al Smith for President, 1928‖. That gives Political collectors some 88 years to play with, so far. Within those almost nine decades are some quite historical and especially collectible covers. There‘s a 1940 Wilkie Pull-Quick, for example, which is a good example of the oldies that exist in this category. On the newer side, there are patriotic sets issued for Goldwater, Nixon, JFK, and others. There are at least two different ―sticky backs‖ issued for Eisenhower, etc. Dave Kennaday, PA, reported 1,108 Major, as of October 1987; Dave later reported a total of 7,535 for all Political cov- ers as of December 2000. Although there is no Political list- ing, as such, there is at least a Presidential listing (Pat Grif- fiths, 1987-1988). I don‘t believe it‘s ever been updated, though. What constitutes ―Major Political‖? Presidents, Senators, Congressmen...but I also include governors, since there are only 50. continued on p.3 2 RMS Bulletin January/February, No. 578 The President’s Message Largest Collections Numbers I hope that everyone had a nice The May/Jun issue starts off our report on the Thanksgiving.

This August 14th to the 20th will see the Rathkamp Matchcover Society bringing their 3 ring circus of match collecting ro the Midwest. It's not under the big top but will be at home at the Wyndham Spring- field City Centre in downtown Springfield, Illinois. How can a group spend a week collecting matches - you might ask. It's a family of collectors that's always looking to expand their membership list by offering freebie tables that will be well stocked all week. Dealers will offer specialty collections sold either individually or as a whole album of covers to members wanting to expand their own accumulations. A highlight of the convention is the display room that will have plenty to offer non collectors to see. You will see specialty collections of common covers such as restaurants or banks. You also will see matchcovers representing The Mother Road - Route 66 or tributes to Springfield's favorite son - Abra- ham Lincoln. The "local" club sponsoring this years convention will present a trophy for the best Hon- est Abe display. The display room will be open Wednesday thru Friday and will offer a glimpse of the history of a nation. If you have an hour or two to stop by the display room you won't regret it. Auctions for members, room hopping, specialty collector club meetings and a business meeting for the international club are features of the week long event. Out-of-towners will have an opportunity to visit the Abraham Lincoln home, the museum in tribute to our 16th President and even have an opportunity to see the state fair. What more can you ask for? That plus a chance to reconnect with your family of fellow collectors. We'll see you August 14-20, 2016 at the 30 story Springfield hotel. You might even see some images of lions, tigers and bears at this years convention. 6 RMS Bulletin January/February, No. 578 2015? Belarus City Crests Set Hans has 78 of these, but he believes that there are about 100 in the set. [Thanks again to Hans Everink, Netherlands, for the continued info on European sets.] RMS Bulletin January/February, No. 578 7 Did You Vote In The 1932 Election? I think I may have missed that one...but you may have participated. Let‘s see...You‘d have to have been at least 21 in 1932...It‘s 2016 now, so add 84 to 21...That means you‘d be at least 105 today. Hmmmmm! Maybe we all missed that one. Too bad, because I was hoping that someone could tell me if matchcovers, such as the one pictured here, were, in fact, actually used as voting ballots. I‘ve never seen or heard of that being the case, but I suppose it‘s possible, and the instructions on this cover certainly make it sound as if that was what was intended. In any event, it makes this cover a very nice Major Political addition to any- one‘s collection. 8 RMS Army Air Forces Lowry Field Military training at Montclair, Colorado, began at the future airfield when the 1887 Jarvis Hall Military School opened. Montclair was incorporated into Denver in 1903, and Jarvis Hall burned down in 1904. At the military school site, the Agnes Phipps Memorial Sanatorium was established as a tuberculosis hospital in 1904. The City of Denver purchased the sanatorium for an airfield after a 1935 municipal bond vote. The WPA converted the sanatorium grounds into a Colorado military airfield. In February 1938, the airfield being installed adjacent to Fairmont Cemetery was assigned to the Air Corps Technical School headquartered at Chanute, and "the Denver branch of the Army Air Corps became an Army post of 880 acres." Lowry Field was named on 11 March 1938, for 2d Lt Francis Lowry, the only Colorado pilot killed in WWI combat; and the paved runway opened on 4 April (1st used by a B-18 Bolo.) The sanatorium's main building became the Army post's headquarters, and the largest single barracks (3,200 men) was completed in mid-1940. Beginning July 16, 1940, the 1st class of the AAF bombardier schools was at Lowry and used the nearby bombing and gunnery range through 14 March 1941 graduating 3 classes of instructors who opened the Barksdale Field bombardier school. Lowry training for Boeing B-29 Superfortress pilot qualification and for B-29 operational crew readiness began in 1943, and the base had a July 1943– Jan 1944 clerical school. In 1944, expansion of Lowry's airfield was planned and Lowry gained B-29 Flight Engineer training. In July 1947, formal courses in Intelligence Training were established at Lowry for combat reporting, photographic intelligence, prisoner of war interrogation, and briefing and interrogation of combat crews. Lowry Air Force Base was designated on 24 June 1948 and on 26 August 1948 established all Lowry training organizations under the 3415th Technical Training Wing. Lowry provided Operation Hayride emergency response for people and livestock threatened by eighteen December 1948-January 1949 snowstorms from Utah to Kansas.

  • Mcbrier History 1
    McBRIER GENEALOGY xi FOREWORD The compilation of this genealogy has been an interesting and rewarding experience. At the beginning it seemed a comparatively easy task; but before proceeding far I discovered that my knowledge of the historical facts relating to my family was meager and exceedingly hazy. I was well acquainted with most of my relatives—had known them all my life; but, in writing a sketch of the life of a particular person, dependable factual material was essential. Impressions, general ideas, or hearsay did not afford a basis for a reliable record. Even dates were uncertain and records were conflicting. Dates of births, of deaths, and of marriages were frequently recorded differently in various places, and which of these to accept as authentic was often a problem. Several avenues of approach were necessary in order to verify a given date or incident. It is a source of disappointment to one seeking information from the town and county records in the rural districts of many of our older states, to find that there are few dependable records of vital statistics prior to 1880. Unlike the newer states, where state organizations were set up soon after statehood was granted, such important data was supposed to be kept by a local town clerk or other official, but no uniform system was followed. Entries depended upon the ability and interest of the local political officeholder at the time; and many such records are glaring examples of incompetency; moreover, in many cases the recording of such data was begun only in recent years. In the English Commonwealth, church records are universally reliable.

  • A Potted History of Woolworths Stores
    A potted history of Woolworths stores F.W. Woolworth was the retail phenomenon of the twentieth century - a shop for masses that sold factory made goods at rock bottom prices. It was the first brand to go global, building to more than 3,000 near identical stores across the world. At its height it generated such fabulous riches that its founder was able to build the world's tallest building and pay for it in cash. It shares were the gold standard of the exchanges in New York and London, paying dividends that others could only dream of. To become a Woolworth supplier was considered a licence to print money. Part of its magic was an ability to adapt to fit into different local communities and to 'go native', without sacrificing its uniqueness. Shoppers in the UK considered 'Woolies' as British as fish and chips, while Americans continued to call the chain 'the five and ten' more than sixty years after it dropped its fixed price formula. But, having risen like a meteor, all the way to the top, it faded in the 1990s into a peaceful retirement in the USA and Canada before falling like a stone in the UK in 2008. Woolworths UK went from normal trading in 800 stores to complete shutdown in just 41 days. In Germany the chain faced a similar fate a few months later. In both Countries the brand was soon revived on-line. There can be little doubt that if Frank Woolworth was starting out today it would be on the Internet, with its low costs and mass reach.

  • The Ol' 5 and 10
    The Ol’ 5 and 10 Woolworth’s, Kress...I remember them. Time’s change. Now the closest we have is 99¢ stores. Woolworth’s characterizes the 5 and 10 cent stores the best, perhaps... The F. W. Woolworth Company was a retail company that was one of the original pioneers, and arguably the most successful American and international five-and-dime stores, setting trends and creating the modern retail model which stores follow today, worldwide. The first Woolworth store was opened by Frank Winfield Woolworth on February 22, 1878, as "Woolworth's Great Five Cent Store" in Utica, New York. Though it initially appeared to be successful, the store soon failed. Searching for a new location, a friend suggested Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Using the same sign from the Utica store, Frank opened his first successful "Woolworth's Great Five Cent Store" on July 18, 1879, in Lancaster. Frank brought his brother, Charles Sumner Woolworth, who went by the nickname "Sum", into the business. The two Woolworth brothers pioneered and developed merchandising, direct purchasing, sales and customer service practices commonly used today. By 1904, there were six chains of affiliated stores operating in the United States and Canada. Between 1905 and 1908, members of the Woolworth Syndicate followed Frank's lead to incorporate their businesses. Sum maintained that he did not need to incorporate his stores. In 1912 the syndicate agreed to a scheme crafted by Frank Woolworth: to join forces and incorporate as one corporate entity under the name "F. W. Woolworth Company" in a merger of all 596 stores. The stock flotation raised over $30 million for the five founders of the merged chains.

  • “Almost Too Terrible to Believe”: the Camilla, Georgia, Race Riot and Massacre, September 1868
    “Almost Too Terrible to Believe”: The Camilla, Georgia, Race Riot and Massacre, September 1868 A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School Valdosta State University in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in History in the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences May 2012 Joshua William Butler BA, Valdosta State University, 2009 © Copyright 2012 Joshua William Butler All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Camilla, Georgia, became the site of a racially motivated political riot on Saturday, September 19, 1868. Determined to promote political and social reform with an organized rally, at least 150 freedmen, along with Republican political candidates, advanced toward the town’s courthouse square. Local citizens warned the black and white activists of the impending violence and demanded that they forfeit their guns, even though carrying weapons was customary at the time. The marchers refused to give up their guns and continued to the courthouse square, where local whites fired upon them. This assault forced the Republicans and freedmen to retreat as locals gave chase, killing an estimated fifteen protestors and wounding forty others. The Camilla Massacre was the culmination of smaller acts of violence committed by white inhabitants that had plagued southwest Georgia since the end of the Civil War. Local whites had individually attacked freedmen and white Republicans for three years without repercussion. That lack of punishment assured the perpetrators that violence was a legitimate way to oppose black activism. At the same time, Camilla was part of a broader attempt across the South to keep former slaves and their Republican leaders in line.

(AECOM) of Arlington County, Virginia conducted a cultural resources survey of Lee Highway (US Route 29), in Arlington County, between January 2019 and February 2020. The Lee Highway Cultural Resources Survey is a component of the larger “Plan Lee Highway” project, a long-range plan and comprehensive vision for the Lee Highway corridor conducted by AECOM for the CPHD. The Lee Highway Cultural Resources Survey consisted of the following tasks: 1) Meetings; 2) Background Research; 3) Field Investigation; and 4) Report of Findings. The survey was conducted by AECOM’s Secretary of the Interior (SOI)-qualified architectural historians, who attended numerous in- person and telephone meetings with CPHD staff as well as three public meetings, and submitted weekly progress reports to the CPHD during the field work phase. Working with both CPHD staff and the general public, AECOM developed a list of 120 resources (buildings, structures, objects, and sites) within the Plan Lee Highway study area to be researched, surveyed, and documented either at the reconnaissance level (105) or in-depth level (15).

  • Cleveland Architects Database
    Clevland Landmarks Commission Cleveland Architects Database The following is a listing of architects and master builders that have worked in Cleveland, from the 1820’s until the 1930’s. Discovering which architects designed certain buildings was determined by utilizing several sources, including the City of Cleveland Building Permits, and publications that included American Architect and Builder News, Inland Architect, Interstate Architect, the Ohio Architect and Builder, the Annals of Cleveland, the Plain Dealer, the Leader, the Press, Material Facts, the Bystander, and Cleveland Town Topics. The Cleveland Public Library card index for Architect’s in the Fine Arts Department was used. Books on Cleveland Architecture that were consulted included Cleveland Architecture 1876 – 1976, and the American Institute of Architects Guide to Cleveland Architecture were consulted. A catalogue of architectural drawings maintained by the Western Reserve Historical Society was consulted. The Cleveland Necrology file maintained by the Cleveland Public Library, the United States Census, and Cleveland City Directories were consulted in compiling this database. For the purposes of this database an architect was defined as anyone that called himself or herself as an architect. Robert Keiser compiled the Cleveland Architects as a hobby in after work hours over several years. This project terminates with 1930. Local building activity was severely curtailed by the Great Depression, and did not recover until the 1950’s. Many of the references in the database have
