The former system involved sending all copies of the JOURNAL, with¬ out postage, in the pouches and relying upon the men in the field to forward copies to the officers in the same country. This resulted in delay and criticism from the field. The present method, whereby the men receive their copies much more promptly, is believed to justify the extra expense and has been approved by the Executive Com¬ mittee. Twelve hundred copies of the JOURNAL are printed each month, some 620 being sent to mem¬ bers of the Association in the Department and in the field. 180 to private subscribers, and 220 to a complimentary mailing list composed of public libraries, universities, chambers of commerce, and AN ARAB POTTER IN HIS SHOP government officials.

    "Amiable" Children of John and Sarah Livingston Jay by Louise V

    The "Amiable" Children of John and Sarah Livingston Jay by Louise V. North © Columbia's Legacy: Friends and Enemies in the New Nation Conference at Columbia University and The New-York Historical Society, Dec. 10, 2004 Sarah Jay wrote her husband [Oct. 1801]: "I have been rendered very happy by the company of our dear children . I often, I shd. say daily, bless God for giving us such amiable Children. May they long be preserved a blessing to us & to the community." Who were these 'amiable' children, and what were they like? The happy marriage of John and Sarah Jay produced six children: Peter Augustus, born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in 1776; Susan, born and died in Madrid after only a few weeks of life, in 1780; Maria, born in Madrid in 1782; Ann, born in Paris in 1783, William and Sarah Louisa, born in NYC in 1789 and 1792 respectively. As you can see by the birthplaces of these children, their parents played active parts on the stage of independence, doing what needed to be done, wherever it needed to be done, at the end of a colonial era and the birth of a new nation. John Jay held a greater variety of posts than any other Founding Father, posts he insisted he did not seek but felt it his duty to his country to assume. Sarah Livingston Jay, brought up in a political household, was a strong support to her husband, astutely networking with the movers and shakers of the time (as a look at her Invitation Lists of 1787–1788 shows).

    Children of John and Sarah Livingston

    A Founding Family Confronts Multiple Disabilities Large scale editions of the writings of Founding Fathers and other “Great White Men” in Early American History are often associated with contributions only to traditional fields of history, and not with the newer forms of social history. But in fact because the publications and the larger collections on which they draw are so comprehensive, and include private as well as public papers, they can and often have made contributions to many other aspects of history. Standard academic procedures often don’t call attention to such hidden topics. Reviews generally don’t refer to them. Indexes may not highlight them. The finding aids to the archival collections may not note them. As editions increasingly are placed online and become searchable some of these problems may be overcome. Health conditions are one of the most common items mentioned in Early American correspondence and diaries, and references useful to the history of disabilities can sometimes be found. Such is the case with The Papers of John Jay, based on original manuscripts in the Rare Book and Manuscript Room of the Columbia University Libraries and photocopies assembled from repositories around the world. New York Founding Father John Jay (1745-1829), was the sixth of seven surviving children of Peter Jay (1704-82) and Mary Van Cortlandt Jay (1705-77). Four of his older siblings were inflicted in varying degrees by disabilities. As editors of the Jay Papers we have primarily been interested in how this family circumstance affected Jay’s life, personality, and character, and how it affected family dynamics generally.

    229 Hot Places to Run Your Classified Ad Classified Advertising Is a Proven Method

    THE FPA GUIDE AND 229 HOT PLACES TO RUN YOUR CLASSIFIED AD CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING IS A PROVEN METHOD The FPA Guide is book of companies that have products or services for sale to the federal government. Classified advertising has always been, and will continue to be the favorite method for Mail Order "Pros" to advertise. Almost all Mail Order Pros started with these tiny inexpensive ads since they represent the best cost effective way to reach millions of people. But, smart small business owners that selling to the federal government is one of the most profitable ways to get business coming in the door. It can be difficult to learn how to get contracts with the federal government, but the FPA Guide is the answer to all that messy paperwork. It's s common misconception that all government jobs have to go to the lowest bidder, but that's not entirely accurate. You see, when a government agency needs to procure a product or service under a certain amount of money, their procurement specialists turn to the FPA Guide, a handbook of companies that advertise their products in services within. It's much easier than trying to find and fill out all the paperwork. TWO BASIC METHODS Two basic methods are used with classified advertising. (1) Place an ad offering FREE literature, and then send your literature to all inquiries. A "free" offer will always out pull an ad that requests money, but your overall profits may be larger since you will generate more inquiries. This method is excellent when you are also collecting "Opportunity Seeker" names that you can rent.

Department of Commerce National Bureau of Standards PROMULGATION of COMMERCIAL STANDARD CS12-38 for FUEL OILS (Foufth Edition) On January 9, 1929, a joint conference of representative refiners, distributors, and consumers of fuel oil, manufacturers of oil burners, and general interests adopted a recommended standard for domestic and industrial fuel oils, which was accepted in writing by the industry and published as Commercial Standard CS12-29. In 1933, and again in 1934, upon recommendation of the standing committee to keep the standard abreast of progress, revisions were adopted and issued as CS 12-33 and CS 12-35, respectively. On February 25, 1938, at the recommendation of the standing com- mittee, a revision of CS12-35, drafted by Technical Committee E of American Society for Testing Materials Committee D-2, was cir- culated for acceptance. The industry has since accepted and ap- proved for promulgation by the United States Department of Com- merce, through the National Bureau of Standards, the revised standard as shown herein. The standard became effective for new production on May 31, 1938, subject to the expiration of the then existing contracts.
