Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC

Title: Souvenir Program Dedicatorial Service. Refuge Church of God of the Apostolic Faith [cover title]
Author: [African Americana]: [California]
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Condition: Good.
Description: San Diego, 1966. Good.. 16pp. Oblong quarto. Original pictorial self wrappers, stapled. Printed entirely in blue ink. Some staining and wrinkling to covers, waterstain and minor chipping at bottom of gutter throughout, occasionally affecting a few words. A seemingly unrecorded and ephemeral souvenir program published to coincide with the dedication ceremonies for the Refuge Church of God of the Apostolic Faith in San Diego, California. The work contains a biography of the pastor, Bishop John Harry Cannon, along with portraits of him and his large family, as well as a couple dozen photographs of fellow parishioners and the church itself. The final six pages of the work are comprised of advertisements for local businesses, including gas stations, auto shops, a record store, laundry services, markets, and more. The proposed date for the program comes from an ad for Ed Taylor Chevrolet who offers a 1966 Impala for the low, low price of $2566. We could locate no copies of this informative program from an African-American church in San Diego in OCLC or elsewhere.
