Nursing School Yearbook 1. [African-American Nursing]: CITY OF NEW YORK HARLEM HOSPI- TAL H.H.S.N. 1959 [cover title]. [New York. 1959]. 64pp. Quarto. Red textured cloth over padded boards, front cover decoratively stamped in gilt. Minor edge wear. Occasional ink notations by original owner, else internally clean. Very good. Yearbook commemorating the graduation year for the Harlem Hospital School of Nursing’s Class of 1959. This copy was owned by graduating nursing student Joan A. Ryan, with her name stamped in gilt on the front cover. The initials in the cover title stand for Harlem Hospital School of Nursing. The annual is pro- fusely illustrated with photographs and photo-collages of the nurses-in-training, including separate group shots of classes, instructors, supervisors, the yearbook committee, the head nurses, the Glee Club, and more. The main section of indi- vidual senior class photographs is arranged in alphabetical order. There are also sections commensurate with yearbooks, such as remembrances, sorority photos, the Bible Club, cartoons drawn by the students, prophecies of future success for each student, and more. The last section, about sixteen pages, is devoted to well- wishes from friends and local advertisements, providing information on businesses for the area around Harlem Hospital during this time Some of the earlier sections of the yearbook are annotated in blue ink by the original owner, Joan Ryan, identifying staff members and fellow students. In the section of graduation photographs, she comments on the marital and parental status of her fellow graduates. For instance, under Ida M. Jackman’s name Ryan writes: “Engaged Married 1 Child.” She evidently kept track of her fellow gradu- ates over the course of time. She does not write anything below her own picture, which has a printed quote from Shakespeare beneath it. A wonderful memento of the medical education of African-American women in Harlem in the early years of the Civil Rights movement, owned and annotated by one of the graduates. $350. Fundraising Pamphlet Printed by African-American and Native-American Students 2. [African-American Education]: [Frissell, Hollis B.]: THE HAMPTON NORMAL AND AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE AND ITS WORK FOR NEGRO AND INDIAN YOUTH....HAMPTON’S APPEAL TO THE CHRIS- TIAN ENDEAVOR SOCIETY [wrapper title and inside front cover text]. [Hampton, Va.: Printed by students of the Institute, n.d., but 1894]. 8pp. Small octavo. Original pictorial self-wrappers. Minor soiling, light wear. Very good plus. A rare fundraising appeal from the illustrious Hampton Normal Institute aimed specifically at the members of the Christian Endeavor Society in 1894. The pamphlet was written by Principal Hollis B. Frissell and printed by the African- American and Native-American students at the institute. The pamphlet includes several photographs of the campus and the classroom, along with a group shot of the “Class of ‘94.” The purpose of the pamphlet is stated in the second paragraph of text: “This leaflet is prepared especially for the Christian Endeavor Society, in hopes that, with the information it gives of Hampton Institute and its needs, it will arouse interest among young Christians in our work and bring our cause before you as an object worthy of your Christian charity.” Frissell then expounds upon the training of the “head,” “hand,” and “heart” of the Hampton students before enumerating his institution’s funding needs. Donations may be contributed to the institute’s general fund or earmarked for the establishment of one-time or endowed scholarships, or given to the missionary fund, the “apparatus fund,” the housekeeping fund, or as a subscription to The Southern Workman. Hampton Institute apparently issued similar pamphlets under the same title on a regular (if not an annual) basis in the 1890s, though whether they issued more than one per year is not known, and any differences are likely only found in the text. OCLC records just seven copies of an 8pp. pamphlet from 1894 with this wrapper title, which we assume is the same as the present copy, though we can- not be sure. It appears that the present copy differs from at least the copies at Duke and Wisconsin, which are dated in print by Frissell, “September 1894.” It is possible, even likely, that the Hampton Institute issued this appeal targeted at the Christian Endeavor Society, as well as other, more general fundraising pamphlets in the same year. In any case, it is a rare appeal from a significant African-American and Native-American educational institution. OCLC 6876159. $850. With Voluminous Illustrations 3.

An important and beautifully produced periodical on art instruction and apprecia- tion. Edited by Francis Fitzgerald, The Artist’s Repository and Drawing Magazine... was published by Charles Taylor, and many of the illustrations are by the famed engraver, Francesco Bartolozzi. The text takes the form of lectures and covers a wide variety of subjects of interest to the students and consumers of art, including human and animal physiognomy, human figures and character, architecture, land- scape, perspective, and the uses of color. Much of the work, therefore, amounts to a prolonged course in art criticism, and this periodical played a significant role in educating the British populace to what constitutes fine art. It thereby served to instruct those who wanted to become artists, and to cultivate the eye of art consumers in an era when art was accessible to a wider populace than just the royal court. Also included are biographies and assessments of several artists, and analyses of various paintings, sculptures, and buildings that would have been accessible to readers. There are also portraits of significant painters, sculptors, architects, and engravers including Nicholas Poussin, Michael Rysbrack, Wenc- eslaus Hollar, Peter Paul Rubens, Van Dyck, Inigo Jones, Mrs. Grace, and more. Many of the plates are the work of the great Italian engraver, Francesco Bartolozzi (1727-1815). He was born and studied art in Italy, before coming to England in 1764 and being made “engraver to the King.” He produced thousands of plates in England, refining and perfecting the “red chalk style,” a form of stipple engraving that had been recently invented by the French. Many of the plates in The Artist’s Repository... are in the “red chalk” style, especially those showing the human form, a specialty of Bartolozzi’s.

A later edition of Barbauld’s influential collection of hymns, first published in London in 1781 and in America (Philadelphia) in 1795. Anna Letitia Barbauld was a prolific author, teacher, and early abolitionist whose work influenced William Wilberforce, William Blake, and William Wordsworth. Her two most notable books for children are Lessons for Children and the present work, both of which provided guidance to generations of teachers and young students. Barbauld also insisted that her works were printed in slightly larger type sizes so that children could more easily read them. The present copy has a contemporary gift inscrip- tion from a teacher to a student in Chemsford, Massachusetts reading: “Lois Humphreys This little book is presented to her as a mark of approbation from her Instructor, as a small reward for laudable ambition & distinguished proficiency in learning. By Mr. Wilkes Allen afterwards Minister at Chemsford.” Shaw & Shoemaker locate only one copy of this Boston edition (at Columbia University Teachers College Library), one of three editions printed in 1803 (the others in New York and Wilmington). A scarce work, with an indeterminate number of copies in OCLC (no physical copies reported separately but certainly some cop- ies catalogued under microform or digital records).

His first recorded drawings were of Wolvercote church, north of Oxford; one of his drawings was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1798, and he exhibited there every year until 1849. In 1797, with the encouragement of Martin Routh, president of Magdalen, whom he later described as his ‘early and constant friend’ (Buckler, 50), he published two aquatint engravings of the college, and two years later, in 1799, again with Routh’s support, he made an engraving of Lincoln Cathedral, the first of a series of engraved views which by 1814 had grown to include all the English cathedrals and many of the major collegiate and parish churches.... Commissions from other antiquaries, among them William Salt of Stafford, and from several noblemen, gentlemen, and clergymen, followed rapidly, and by the end of his life Buckler could claim authorship of 13,000 drawings of build- ings throughout England and Wales, with Somerset, Yorkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Staf- fordshire, and Wiltshire especially strongly represented.

Dayton, Oh.: Gazette Print, October 29, 1852. Letterpress broadside, 12¾ x 8¾ inches, with ornamental border. Old folds, minor foxing, two ink spots in left margin. Very good.

A seemingly-unrecorded broadside detailing instructions on the planting, cultivat- ing, culturing, pruning, gathering, and preserving of various fruit trees in Ohio in the middle of the 19th century. The nursery owners explain their reason for issuing the broadside: “Inasmuch as there are many persons though intelligent in other matters, who are altogether unacquainted with the cultivation of Fruit Trees, we the undersigned, deem it our duty to furnish all our patrons with printed instructions on the subject.” The broadside was produced by Heiks & Company of Dayton, who provide guidance on proper procedures for care of apple trees, peaches, grapes, and strawberries, with brief mentions of gooseberries, raspber- ries, and currants. Whether this broadside was given out to customers along with their purchases, or posted at the Heiks & Company nursery is unknown, but likely the former. A taste of the instructions, regarding apple trees, reads: “Make your rows thirty-three feet apart, each way, dig holes fifteen inches deep and two feet square, fill the hole, before setting in the tree, within ten inches of the surface with rich loam, – set in your tree in an erect position and to support it drive in a stake and attach the tree to it with a band of straw or some soft material. The ground around the tree should be kept loose and free from grass. Cultivate the spaces between the trees in potatoes, turnips or like crops. Pruning should be done in the months of June and July, or September. Cutting large limbs injures the trees.”

Little is known of the issuing company, Heiks & Co., other than they were a nursery in Dayton (and possibly Troy) for some time into the 20th century. We can locate no other copies of the broadside in trade, auctions, or on OCLC. This is, perhaps, a unique surviving example. $1250. Inscribed to President Ulysses S. Grant, by a Noted Political and Educational Reformer 11. [Grant, Ulysses S.]: Hawkins, Dexter A.: SIX REPORTS ON POLITI- CAL REFORM [cover title]. New York. 1874/1873. Two works bound in one volume. 13; 24,16,10,[2],7pp. Original printed blue wrappers bound into a pre- sentation binding of green pebbled cloth, ruled in gilt; gilt title on front board. Light shelf wear. Near fine. Two works on political and educational reform in New York City, inscribed on the front pastedown: “U.S. Grant President of the United States. With the compli- ments of the author.” This copy also bears the bookplate of collector Joseph M. Gleason, just above the inscription to Grant. Dexter A. Hawkins (1825-86) was born in Maine and became involved in issues of educational reform at a young age. He attended classes at Harvard Law School and built a respected practice, but returned to his first passion after the Civil War. “In 1867 he devoted his energies once more to the cause of education and was instrumental in the establishment of the Department of Education....During the remainder of his life Hawkins was an ardent champion, by speeches, pamphlets, and newspaper articles, of a system of free, independently controlled public schools....In 1874 he drew up provisions which were passed into law by New York State under the title, ‘Act to Secure to Children the Benefits of Elemen- tary Education.’...His attacks on parochial schools were bitter....He was equally outspoken in his denunciation of political corruption and extravagance in New York City. The statistics contained in his various pamphlets were instrumental in the overthrow of the Tammany ring and in the correction of other less glaring irregularities” – DNB. Both the pamphlets bound herein are published under the aegis of the “New York City Council of Political Reform.” The wrapper title of the first pamphlet, published in 1874, is Report on Compulsory Education. The second pamphlet, published in 1873, is entitled Five Reports and contains sections on surface street railroads; “sectarian appropriations of public money”; the “duty of the state to protect the free common schools by Amendments to the Constitu- tion”; with two sections on the Tammany Ring. Much is devoted to an attack against Catholic opposition to free compulsory public schools, and in opposition to the appropriation of public funds for sectarian (i.e. Catholic parochial) schools. Ulysses S. Grant lived in New York City late in his life, composed his memoirs there, and is buried in Grant’s Tomb in the city’s Morningside Heights. DAB VIII, pp.414-15. $1250. 12.

A wonderful pair of images capturing the 1939 graduating classes, teachers, and staff of the Honpa Hongwanji Hilo Betsuin in Hilo, Hawaii. One image shows the female graduates of the high school; the second shows the middle school graduates. Each is captioned near the bottom in Japanese and both are dated “June 4, 1939” in ink at lower left. The mission also housed a branch of the Hawaiian Young Buddhists Association, evidenced by the sign hanging over the entrance to the building, and the students pictured here were likely members of HYBA, as well. The Honpa Hongwanji Hilo Betsuin still stands and still serves the Buddhist community in Hilo. It is the oldest Buddhist temple in Hawaii, still houses a Young Buddhists Association, and services over 500 families in the Hilo area. $600. 13. [Iowa]: TAMMANY!! TAMMANY! TAMMANY BUSTED!

About very good. Not what it appears to be. The broadside continues: “Professor is Cook-ed! And ready to emigrate. Boss Tweed gone in his hole and trying to pull the hole in after him. Great rejoicing! The mighty have fallen and Napoleon is dead. Hon- est me now in office! and the Treasury is safe....” Manuscript notes on the verso suggest that this is an elaborate satire on a contentious school board election in rural North McGregor, Clayton County, Iowa. The note reads: “Mondays elec- tion the ‘Cook party’ was ‘scooped out’ at North McGregor nearly 3 to 1 (Geo. Keene is ‘Boss Tweed’). Show this to Prof. Thompson and save it. The fate of teachers who meddle in local fights.” The author also lists the vote count. A quote at the bottom of the sheet is dated 1872, giving an approximate date. Quite striking and perhaps unique. $500. High School during its short run as the main educational institution inside the internment camp, and this is the middle one. As with other internment camp school yearbooks, it looks much like any other high school yearbook from the 1940s, profusely illustrated with photographs of stu- dents, faculty, and staff. The front cover and most text leaves include a small circular illustration of a ram, the Topaz High School mascot.

Located in central Utah, the Topaz Relocation Center (also known as the Central Utah Relocation Cen- ter) was a 19,800-acre concentration camp operated from September 1942 to October 1945, one of dozens of camps at which Japanese Americans, both American citizens and resident “aliens,” were interned during World War II. In accordance with Presi- dent Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066, all persons of Japanese an- cestry were excluded from the west coast of the U.S., even though in- telligence reports at the time found no evidence of fifth column activ- ity among Japanese Americans (or Japanese immigrants) and advised against mass incarceration. At its height, Topaz housed over 9,000 Japanese Americans, most from the San Francisco Bay Area. Each internment camp had its own schools and most Topaz Yearbook produced yearbooks, as any American school would. Most of the students here list Bay Area cities as home, including San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda, San 14.

[N.p., likely Boley, Ok. 1914]. [8]pp. 16mo. Original printed wrappers, stapled. Minor soiling and edge wear to wrappers, light creasing. Minor foxing. Very good. A small pamphlet containing the program of events and educational sessions for the annual conference of the Oklahoma Association of Negro Teachers (OANT), held in Boley from June 1 to 3, 1914. The schedule provides attendees with information on morning, afternoon, and evening sessions, which include round- table discussions, addresses, and presentations, along with music, devotions, and other activities. The presentations consist of subjects such as “How to Raise the Standard of Efficiency for the Rural Schools,” “Economy of Time in the School Room,” “How Can We Best Develop the Child’s Power of Expression,” “Practi- cal Arithmetic in Grammar Grades,” “How to Retain the Boys in High School,” “Race History in Our School,” and many more. Presenters are identified by name and home school district. Following the schedule is the list of officers and the Executive Committee for the OANT, and a few notes and reminders for attendees, such as “All teachers are urged to visit the Manual Training and Domestic Science rooms and witness the real illustrations such as will be helpful in any school.” “In December 1907, one month after Oklahoma statehood, sixty-seven black teachers of the former Twin Territories met at Colored Agricultural and Normal University in Langston to reorganize their associations into the statewide Oklahoma Association of Negro Teachers. According to Evelyn Strong, OANT historian, both environmental and professional challenges contributed to the nature of the group’s early leadership and to the development of its mission. “In the early period leaders focused on expanding membership, developing leadership, acquir- ing knowledge of the state school system and of the educational environment in black communities, and improving professional competence through in-service training. Toward the end of its life the organization primarily pursued legisla- tion to relieve problems of separate school finance [the association lasted until 1958]. This evolved because most black educators were acutely aware of the unfair, inequitable funding for separate schools. Children endured poor quality instruction, dilapidated buildings, and inadequate books and supplies. Smaller black communities had little or no representation in the decision making at local or state levels” – Oklahoma Historical Society Encyclopedia (online). No copies of the pamphlet are found in OCLC, nor can we locate any in auction records. This is the first copy we have encountered in more than forty years in the trade. $2500.

Paulinetti, P.H.: THE TRUE ART AND SCIENCE OF SINGLE HAND BALANCING AND HAND-TO-HAND BALANCING THE FIRST AND ONLY TEXT BOOK EVER PRINTED ON THIS SUBJECT AN ELEMEN- TARY AND HIGHLY ADVANCED TREATISE ON ALL BRANCHES OF THIS ART. [Philadelphia: Privately Printed, 1931]. 95pp., profusely illustrated with images from photographs and drawings. Frontis. Original printed green wrappers. Wrappers lightly soiled. Very good. An interesting instructional volume by a little-known figure in the early twentieth century physical culture movement in the United States. “Professor” Philip H. Paulinetti was a remarkably talented gymnast and acrobat, “teacher of many of the greatest artistes of the time,” and “master mind on this subject” (i.e. hand balanc- ing). The text and illustrations are a thorough instructional on all methods and modes of the craft, from simple handstands to walking on one’s hands, the “alligator walk,” jumping on one hand, balancing on the head, balancing a partner in the air with your hands, feet, or head, etc. The achievement for which Paulinetti was best known, however, and which receives due attention, is the “planche,” by which he would balance himself on one or two hands while extending his body parallel to the ground. The exercises and methods in this guide – all of them illustrated by drawings or through photographs – would appeal to gymnasts, acrobats, and cheerleaders alike, as well as to those simply interested in physical fitness. This is the only work attributed to Paulinetti in OCLC, and would appear to be his “summa acrobatica.” OCLC locates only two copies, at the New York Public Library, and Carleton University in Ontario.

Remarkable Volume of Manuscript Musical Compositions by a Noted American Composer and His Female Student 22. [Shaw, Oliver]: [Hazard, Julia]: [BOUND COLLECTION OF MANU- SCRIPT MUSIC TRANSCRIBED AND COMPOSED BY OLIVER SHAW AND HIS PUPIL, JULIA HAZARD, INCLUDING AN EARLY VERSION OF THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER AND MANY OTHER COMPOSI- TIONS ON AMERICAN POLITICAL AND HISTORICAL THEMES]. [Newport, R.I. ca. 1821-1850]. [256]pp. More than 160 distinct compositions. Quarto. Half burgundy morocco with gilt burgundy label (“Julia S.M. Hazard”) on front board. Boards heavily worn, corners bumped, some loss of spine leather, text block mostly detached and loose. Pages trimmed with only a few minor losses to text. A few pages with chipping at the edge, some light tanning, a few finger- prints, and some bleedthrough from ink, but internally very good over all. In a cloth chemise and half morocco and cloth clamshell case, spine gilt. A remarkable collection of manuscript music, including transcriptions, arrange- ments, and compositions from the hands of both noted composer Oliver Shaw and his student, Julia Hazard. Oliver Shaw was the first prominent American composer and songwriter, and Julia Hazard – child of a noted Rhode Island political family – was only in her mid-teenage years when she began to create this volume. This collection of manuscript music is an important record of early music education in the United States, of the achievements of a talented young female musician, and of the interpretation of popular American songs of the day. In all, there are more than 160 distinct manuscript musical works in this volume, several with political or historical themes. Some pieces are excerpts, but many are complete compositions, often with lyrics and occasional notes on performance. Most of the pieces date to the 1820s and 1830s, though one is dated as late as 1850. One of the most interesting pieces is a very early rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” in Julia Hazard’s hand. Francis Scott Key wrote the poem “The Defense of Fort McHenry” in 1814, only seven years earlier during the War of 1812; it was an instant hit as a poem and was immediately retitled “The Star-Spangled Banner.” It was soon associated with the music we now know, “To Anacreon in Heaven,” and this may have been due to some influence from Key, who had used the music in 1805 to accompany another poem he wrote to honor Commodore Stephen Decatur (the music was very popular at the time). “The Star-Spangled Banner” did not become the national anthem until 1931; before this, it was one of several popular patriotic songs, along with “Hail, Columbia”; “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee”; and finally “America the Beautiful,” which had also been considered for the national anthem. Nevertheless, people throughout the 19th-century ap- propriated the music and the text of the “Star-Spangled Banner” for their own ends, including abolitionists: “Oh, say do you hear, at the dawn’s early light, The shrieks of those bondmen, whose blood is now streaming”, and temperance activists: “Oh! who has not seen by the dawn’s early light, Some poor bloated drunkard to his home weakly reeling” (as noted by Robin). Julia Hazard clearly felt free to take extensive liberties with the music of the Oliver Shaw (1779-1848), the first prominent American composer and songwriter, Star Spangled Banner – only occasional strains are recognizable. She also made was born in Middleborough, Massachusetts. As an adult, Shaw was blind: an ac- some changes to the poem, repeating “O’er the ramparts we watch’d where [sic] cident with a penknife in early childhood blinded him in his right eye, and then so gallantly streaming...” (substituting “where” for “were” – a possible misspell- a fever combined with eyestrain led to the loss of sight in his left eye by the time ing), and also repeating the final line, “O’er the land of the free and the home of his was twenty-one. However this did not seem to hold him back. He began his the brave.” Hazard includes the second verse with no alterations. Many other formal musical education in 1800, primarily with organist John L. Birkenhead in patriotic compositions are present, including “General Washington’s March”; a Newport, Rhode Island, and the better-known composer, conductor, and publisher short and slightly different “Yankee Doodle”; “A New Ode Sung at the Celebra- Gottlieb Graupner in Boston. Born in Germany, Graupner performed in Haydn’s tion of the Anniversary of American Independence. Boston, July 4th 1802”; John orchestra in London, and once in the U.S., taught and conducted, and founded George Henry Jay’s “Jefferson’s March”; “Bristol March – Jefferson and Liberty”; the Handel and Haydn Society, the third oldest musical organization in America “Hull’s March”; and a composition dated 1850 called “Field of Monterey,” show- (with which Shaw occasionally performed). Shaw moved to Providence in 1807, ing that even after Oliver Shaw’s death in 1848, Julia Hazard continued to work where he worked as a as a composer, publisher, teacher, church organist (of the on her musicianship. First Congregational Church of Providence), and tenor soloist; and as an organizer and leader of musical societies. He published more than seventy songs and over Oliver Shaw’s compositions “Governor Jones’ [of Rhode Island] March” and thirty instrumental works. One of Shaw’s more prominent students was Lowell “Bristol March” are included, but perhaps the most important work here is “A Mason (1792-1872), a leading figure in American church music. Mason is perhaps Military Divertimento...Dedicated to Genl. La Fayette on his visit to Providence” best known for his now-ubiquitous arrangement of “Joy to the World,” but in his (published by Shaw as Welcome the Nation’s Guest...). During 1824-25 the Mar- lifetime composed and arranged about 1,700 hymn tunes, including “Bethany” quis de Lafayette returned to America in anticipation of the fiftieth anniversary (for “Nearer, My God, to Thee”), “Olivet” (“My Faith Looks Up to Thee”), and of independence. He toured all twenty-four states of the Union, visiting the “Hamburg” (“When I Survey the Wondrous Cross”). Mason is largely credited northern and eastern states in the fall of 1824, with stops at Monticello to visit with introducing music into American public schools, and is considered the first Jefferson and then Washington, where he was received at the White House by important U.S. music educator. President Monroe. From August 21-24, he travelled through New Haven and Old Saybrook, Providence, Stoughton, and finally Boston. These visits inspired Julia Sophia Hazard (1806-78) was born in Middletown, Rhode Island, the grand- several dedicatory compositions like Shaw’s. While there is no evidence that daughter of George Hazard (1724-97), who served as mayor of Newport and was Shaw’s piece was performed during Lafayette’s visit, there are detailed performance a Newport representative to the state convention to consider the new national notes, marking the places in the music when Lafayette arrives in town, when he is constitution. Julia married Abiel Sherman in 1828. There is no record of Julia received at the state house, and when he departs. Either way, the work was well- pursuing a professional life in music, however, Shaw’s wife and family frequently received at the time, has been regularly reprinted and included in anthologies of performed with him, so it would not be unusual for his students to do likewise. 19th-century keyboard compositions, and is still performed today. A fascinating overview of a music student adapting and enhancing the “hits” The remaining pieces are overwhelmingly popular operas, ballad operas, and of the day with the guidance of America’s first great composer. This is also traditional Irish and Scottish songs, including “The Favorite Overture to the quite uncommon: we could find no instances of Oliver Shaw’s or Julia Hazard’s Blind Boy” by John Davy; “Fancy’s Vision” by Arthur F. Keene; an arrangement manuscripts for sale or at auction, and no major institutional holdings of Shaw’s of Thomas Moore’s “The Meeting of the Waters”; Charles Jefferys and Sidney manuscript compositions.

He does, however, thank Professor Seward and the rest of the faculty for organizing the trip and for their excellent choice of the industries visited.

The trip covered four states (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan) and included visits to fourteen businesses: AT&T; Wright Aeronautical Corp.; Edison Laps Works & Lighting Institute of General Electric; Hardwick & Magee Wilton Rugs & Carpets; High Pressure Pumping Station; Sears, Roebuck; Carnegie Steel Co.
