Description
Uruapan, Michoacán, Mx, 1908. Very good.. Twenty-four silver gelatin photographs, each 4.75 x 6.75 inches and captioned in the negative, each affixed to the recto of thick cardboard mounts attached to cloth stubs. Oblong quarto. Original black cloth, string tied, with gilt titles on front cover. Some bowing throughout. Minor wear and soiling to covers. Minor silvering and light wear to some photographs. Likely a presentation album containing two dozen substantial and informative photographs produced during the opening of a Mexican meat-packing plant owned by an eccentric American tycoon in January 1908.  The factory was launched by American entrepreneur John Wesley De Kay (1872-1938), who moved from South Dakota to Mexico in 1899 and launched the Mexican National Packing Company; he is sometimes called the "Sausage King of Mexico." The present album shows his company's refrigerated railway cars, the attendees of the inaugural banquet (including a band hired for the occasion), exterior and interior views of the plant (including one of the killing room and another showing sides of beef hanging in cold storage), and much more. Each photograph includes an informative caption written in the negative, providing ample identification of each photograph's contents. In one image, Mexico's Vice President Ramón Corral (whose traveling party is featured in more than one photo) presses a ceremonial button to launch the plant's operation, while the rather bohemian-looking De Kay stands behind him. A couple of shots feature the soldiers of Vice President Corral's military guard, identified as the "Rurales." The year after this album was produced, De Kay tried his hand as a playwright. His 1909 Broadway production Judas starred Sarah Bernhardt, but was regarded as blasphemous and bombed. During the chaotic years of the Mexican Revolution, he helped buy weaponry for the Huerta regime, and sold his meat-packing empire to the government in 1914. No listings in OCLC for any other copies of this wonderful album exemplifying commercial diplomacy between the United States and Mexico in the first decade of the 20th century.

Description
[Champaign County, Ohio, 1816. Broadside, 8" x 12.5". Printed bond completed in manuscript. Tanned at margins and along old folds. Signed in ink by Clemans, Thomas, and Anderson. Docketed on verso. Very Good. This bond requires distillers to keep a detailed accounting of the amounts of liquors distilled, with separate accounts for foreign and domestic materials. The books were reviewed quarterly by a local Collector, who would assess the duties owed to the United States. The bond's text tracks Section 2 of Chapter XV of the Act of Congress passed at the 3d Session of the 13th Congress. "John Thomas settled about three miles south of Urbana, about where Mrs. Newell now lives, and had a distillery up the creek, between where the Newell and Donavan houses now stand... "Thomas Anderson was a noted well-digger in Salem Township at the same time Richard Stanhope was here. He was a soldier of the war of 1812; was not as steady a man as Richard; he would sometimes 'drink too much and fight too much,' yet with all had many good qualities, and was well known in Champaign County, and was honored as an old soldier. He has no doubt long since gone the way of all the earth, but do not quite remember the manner of his death." Ogden, THE HISTORY OF CHAMPAIGN COUNTY, OHIO 214, 507-8 [1881].

Description
Jersey City: Harold S. Williamson, 1932. Good plus.. Small broadside, inches. Previously folded. Minor edge wear. Moderate toning and dust soiling. An ephemeral handbill for a Depression-era meeting of the New Jersey Conference of Colored Republicans. The president of the conference, J. Mercer Burrell, was a Newark attorney and one of the first Black assemblymen to serve in the New Jersey statehouse. In 1933 he filled his seat as member of the Republican party, but was re-elected on the Clean Government line in 1934. This handbill advertises a April 30 (1932?) meeting at the Monumental Baptist Church in Jersey City, where "reports on [the] national situation and consideration of candidates for President and U.S. Senator" were to be discussed. The lower portion of the flyer prints a list of speakers, including a female Assembly candidate, La Bella Ortiz, and a roster of the local Jersey City Republican committee.
