'Dundas' [Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; Price, Waterhouse & Co, accountants; the Roaring Twenties; Prohibition in America]:
A young Englishman in 1920s Pittsburgh. 25 Autograph Letters Signed 'Dundas' from a young Englishman who has relocated with his family to America and is training with accountants Price Waterhouse & Co. To his English friend 'Smut' 'Meredith'.
The first five letters from London Forest Hill and Catford; the rest from Pennsylvania with 15 from 621 Kelly Avenue Wilkinsburg Pittsburgh. Between 1 March 1926. A total of 140pp. i.e. 98pp. 12mo; 40pp. 8vo; 2pp. 4to. One letter possibly incomplete unsigned the other 24 signed 'Dundas' with postscripts sometimes signed 'Das'. The three letters before the last addressed to 'Meredith' the other 22 addressed to 'Smut'. Of the 25 letters: 7 from 1926; 4 from 1927; 10 from 1928; 4 from 1929. The first five letters to 19 November 1926 from London three from 143 Como Road Forest Hill SE23; two from 406 Stanstead Road Catford SE6; the rest from Pennsylvania with 15 from 621 Kelly Avenue Wilkinsburg Pittsburgh and one each from 411 Pitt Street Wilkinsburg; 510 Mifflin Avenue Wilkinsburg; 839 E. Hutchinson Avenue Edgewood Pittsburgh; and letterheads of the Penn Albert Hotel Greensburg and the Penn Grove Hotel Grove City. Between 1 March 1926 and 6 June 1929. An interesting correspondence emphatically materialistic and enthused with the youthful good humour and bullishness of a young Englishman who is attempting to make his way as an accountant training with Price Waterhouse in the 'Land of Opportunity'. Dundas adopts American mannerisms 'Gee boy!' and 'O.K.!' and exhibits puerile humour 'We have been having an air polluting competition in the office this evening the chap next to me has won easily but I've cheated him for having a cold I couldn't smell him' and the characteristic casual racism of the period from New York he writes 'And the Hutoo. I've never seen so many at once in my natural.'. References in the correspondence reveal that 'Dundas' is an'Old Erithian' a former students of West Street School Erith Kent and of Scottish extraction and that at the start of the correspondence he works in an office in London. The recipient with whom Dundas was at school is in England training to be an actuary. Topics include: the passage over; New York 'the chap we're staying with took us downtown in his Dodge'; Prohibition; prices clothing rent chewing gum; Dundas's extensive amorous activities including 'heavy necking' with a number of 'girls' 'Gee boy! We've got a nice little girl in this house. . She is by no means slow In the pictures & in the car - Oh! Boy!!! - xxx'; hotels; his work travelling around the area surrounding Pittsburgh as an auditor; jazz; his studying at the Pittsburgh School of Accountancy; festivities in America; his acquistion of a piano; the climate; the relative qualities of American and English men and 'girls'; sports and recreations 'I am going to join the Minnetoska Club here. It is a canoe club tennis Baseball & swimming'; the motor car and 'autoists'; an account of a trip to Sligo 'a town so small that although it is only 100 miles away most Pittsburghers have never heard of it'; his efforts as a photographer 'I have now completed an album containing all the fellows pictures . I have orders for 14 of them now & will probably have orders for 20 or so more . For once photography is paying me'; radio broadcasting 'Did you ever listen to the "Gold Spot Pals" that was the broadcast of the Gold Spot Shoe Company'; road taxes. The correspondence begins with news of a dance with some clues towards the author's identity: 'There weren't very many of our old crowd there mainly people who left before we did. Have you see sic Woollatt just lately Gee! he has grown. . Bob Horlock Bell Harry Cameron Lilian Rayner Doris Knott & one or two others were there.' With the third letter 26 April 1926 comes an announcement: 'now hold tight - Dad & I are trying to get to America we have our names down for the next Quota and expect to go about Sept or Oct but of course there is nothing settled yet and there are many slips twixt the cup and the lip.' On 11 November he reports that 'we got through our Medical Exam O.K. & that we have booked our passage on the Carmania sailing on the 27th inst'. A month later on 14 December he writes from Wilkinsburg to describe the passage over 'On Saturday night we ran into a gale. Gee boy! didn't she rock! I'll say she did. Some of the people had the wind up. One chap at the table next to us got up dressed & put his life belt on.'. By 20 November 1927 his mother and 'Peggy' sister have arrived and he has already dumped a girlfriend 'She kept me waiting for 1 ½ hours one night because she had something to do & we were going to a dance.' enrolled on a course at the Pittsburgh School of Accounting and been to '5 dances in the last 6 weeks'. At the end of 1927 12 December he reports that he is 'still with Price Waterhouse accountants & working hard'. On 16 January 1928 he writes that 'Prohibition here is a big farce & in my opinion is doing more harm than good. It is very much like the "under 16" smoking in the old country. You know how many kids will start smoking at 10 & 12 just to feel big. Well here the high school & college people drink just because they are told they mustn't. Anyone who wants it can get as much as they want - and what stuff gee its poison. I smelled some stuff that was supposed to be whiskey if that was whiskey I'm dutch it smelled more like methylated spirits to me. Of course the good stuff can be bought but one would have to pay $5.00 & up a pint. . I saw one fellow being carried out of the movies on new years night he had been drinking bad liquor & he was all drawn up into a terrible shape.' On 15 April 1928 he reports that he is 'still with P. W. & Co. The boss hasn't officially confirmed that I am permanent but all the seniors seem to think I am. Added to that there are only six out of 35 temporary men left.' On 2 December 1928: 'I too am anxiously waiting the R100. Boy I hope she knocks the Grafs time into a cocked hat. I'd just love the opportunity to say "there see thats what the old country can do!"' On 24 February 1929 he can report that 'Things have broken pretty good for me in the office this year. I am now a ranking senior - that is for the busy season. Right after I came back from Huntington I received my first "In Charge" assignment. It was a large Department store & Mail Order House with 8000000 Capitalization. This entailed 2 stores in New York & 3 in Pittsburgh. . one heck of a lot of hard work for me for the three fellows they gave me were green I even had to teach them how to make a check mark'. The same letter carries a reference to 'Marion Robertshaw' who is 'now with the B.B.C.' On 3 March 1929 he reports that 'Dad is in the experimental Dept of the Hudson Motor works in Detroit and doing very well.' and asks: 'Who are you for in the General Election. Ramsay McDonald has all my wishes with Lloyd George running him a close second. I understand Ll. G. has a new idea for wiping out unemployment. I think if those two men could work together they could put England back in her place. I don't know whether you have realized it but England is certainly slipping badly and something drastic will have to be done for her to regain her place in the worlds affairs. Of course I am relying on American statistics for my assertion.' By the time of the last letter 6 June 1929 he is living a bachelor existence at 839 E. Hutchison Avenue Edgewood 'very comfortably situated in my room & liking it not so bad. At times it gets a little lonesome . life has just been one exam after another . By the way since Dad went to Detroit hes been getting on fine. He got into the experimental dept of Hudson Motor Co on some kind of special exhibition work they were doing & got them to adopt some ideas of his for saving them time & money & he has been made foreman. I was glad to see Ramsay McDonald went into power. Its tough luck he didn't get a working majority. All the papers here are watching the Labor Party closely to see what happens. Here's wishing them all the best. I think the best thing that could happen in England would be for the Liberal Party to be abandoned & join with the Labor.' The first five letters from London (Forest Hill and Catford); the rest from Pennsylvania, with 15 from 621 Kelly Avenue, Wilkins hardcover

[Anti-Prohibition] [Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform]
Go to the Polls! June 20th 1933
New Haven: Connecticut Branch W. O. N. P. R. 1933. Broadside. 7" x 10 1/4. Single sheet printed on one side. Slight age toning. Fine condition. This is an original handbill from a major women's group soliciting votes to repeal Prohibition in 1933.<br /> <br /> Women's organizations--particularly the Women's Christian Temperance Union--are strongly associated with passage of the 18th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution and the national ban on alcoholic beverages it brought in 1919. The major role women played in getting Prohibition repealed is not as widely recognized however.<br /> <br /> This handbill was issued by the Connecticut Branch of the Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform W.O.N.P.R. The W.O.N.P.R. was organized in 1929 by women who could no longer ignore the destructive if unintended consequences of Prohibition. <br /> <br /> Here voters are asked to vote for ratification of the 21st Amendment reminding them that "A Vote for Ratification is a Vote for Repeal!" and "A Vote for Ratification is a Vote for Good Government Lower Taxes and Liquor Control." <br /> <br /> The efforts of the W.O.N.P.R. and other repeal groups were successful and Prohibition was repealed with the ratification of the 21st Amendment in December of 1933.<br /> <br /> A tangible piece of Prohibition and women's history.

[California - Music - Prohibition Era] Jones, Eddie
Prohibition-Era Photograph Album of Eddie Jones a Touring Banjo Player and Lover of Life in 1920s Southern California
Southern California 1920. Limp leatherette album oblong 4to measuring 10 x 7 inches with seventy photographs most measuring 4 x 2 ½ inches. Wear to binding photographs with excellent contrast very good to near fine overall. Near Fine. An energetic album of photographs belonging to one Eddie Jones a fun-loving banjo player from Santa Ana mostly composed of photographs of musicians performing at small parties and functions during the prohibition era. Jones was apparently quite active on the local scene and the album is mostly made up of candid photographs of musicians all captioned some humorously. Many of the photographs show small bands playing guitars many of them playing with slides likely due to the popularity of Hawaiian music at the time. Also included are many photographs of parades in and around Los Angeles as well as photographs of the 1925 Santa Barbara Earthquake showing damaged buildings. Two photographs feature a glass of rye others show agricultural scenes. Newspaper clippings in the back center on the Santa Ana and it’s possible that Jones - who was the common name mentioned in these clippings - was also a farmer from the Santa Ana area when he wasn’t playing music. One photograph shows San Diego a couple show a bullfight in Tijuana. Overall an evocative and well preserved piece of California Prohibition-era history. unknown

[Prohibition in Kansas]
DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT ON THE KANSAS APPEALS AFFIRMING THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF PROHIBITION AND DENYING THE RIGHT OF COMPENSATION. DECEMBER 5 1887. OFFICIAL COPY
New York: The National Temperance Society and Publication House 1889. Original printed wrappers some edge and spine chipping rear wrapper detached but present and original staples. 36pp. Clean text. Except as noted Very Good.<br /> <br /> In 1881 Kansas enacted a constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture or sale of alcoholic beverages. Doing so was a misdemeanor punishable by fine or imprisonment. The amendment effectively rendered Peter Mugler who operated a brewery unemployed. He brought suit claiming that Kansas had unconstitutionally deprived him of his property in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Writing for the Court Justice Harlan-- who would issue a powerful dissent several years later in the notorious case of Plessy vs. Ferguson-- held that the amendment was a permissible exercise of the State's police powers which have always been reserved to the States as an attribute of their sovereignty. <br /> The rear wrapper advertises works sponsored by the National Temperance Society.<br /> OCLC locates eleven copies under two accession numbers as of November 2013.

[Prohibition] Beer For Prosperity
ORIGINAL ANTI-PROHIBITION PAINTING. THE STATUE OF LIBERTY FLOATS IN NEW YORK HARBOR DETACHED FROM ITS PEDESTAL. A CAMEL INSTEAD OF THE STATUE RECLINES ON THE PEDESTAL. ANDREW VOLSTEAD AUTHOR OF THE 1919 PROHIBITION ACT WEARS A SUIT AND TOP HAT HOLDS AN UMBRELLA SITS ON THE CAMEL'S BACK AND SNEERS AT THE MANY BEER BOTTLES FLOATING IN THE WATER. "PUT LIBERTY BACK WHERE SHE BELONGS" IS WRITTEN TO THE LEFT OF THE STATUE. "BEER FOR PROSPERITY" IS IN A FRAMED BOX BELOW THE PICTURE. THE MAJORITY OF THE SCENE IS SURROUNDED BY A PURPOSELY JAGGED LINE WITH VOLSTEAD'S HEAD AND UPPER TORSO STICKING OUT AT THE TOP
n.p. 1933. 8" x 12". Original color painting on Abacco illustration board matted and framed behind glass. Vibrant colors with some pencil sketch lines showing through. Unsigned and uninitialed. Corners chipped a closed crack in lower left corner. On verso of board is the name of the type of board and available dimensions "Paints Brush and Color Corporation" with distributors listed as E.H. & A.C. Friedrichs Co. of New York The Hirshberg Company of Baltimore and Henry M. Taws of Philadelphia. Very Good. <br /> <br /> Ours is the only copy located after diligent investigation. The camel which Thomas Nast chose as the symbol of the Prohibition Party has replaced the Statue of Liberty on the pedestal. Camels don't drink very often; when they do they only drink water. <br /> This item was likely painted between 1931 and 1933. The official Beer for Prosperity Campaign was organized May 1931 in New York City. Edward H. Schulze was director of the organization and announced that he would support all political candidates in favor of legalizing beer. The slogan spread over the next year and a half. Posters for this campaign in 1932 advertised that legalizing beer would bring two trillion dollars in new revenue in four years because "millions of dollars made from bootleg Beer now finances all kinds of crimes kidnappings etc." Another campaign poster advertised purchases of "Beer for Prosperity" Stamps to "Help Elect to Congress Men Who Will Vote 'Yes.'" Beer for Prosperity Campaign. n.d. In John J. Raskob papers. Manuscripts and Archives Hagley Museum and Library #m473_20100624_005; "Beer For Prosperity Campaign Inc. Will Back Pierce's Congressional Candidacy" The Rutland Daily Herald 23 August 1932 p.7. <br /> We do not know who painted this imaginative item. E.H. & A.C. Friedrichs Company was founded in 1868 and is still in business today under the modern name of Fredrix. The Hirshberg Company originated in 1845 as Hirshberg Hollander & Company and remained in business under a few different Hirshberg names until approximately the early 1960s. Henry B. Taws opened in Philadelphia around 1897 and remained in business until at least 1931. unknown

Original photograph of the first legal whiskey produced during prohibition in Cincinnati Ohio 1933
Cincinnati: Romach and Groene 1933. Vintage photograph of the first legal whiskey produced in Ohio during prohibition at the Carthage Distilling Company in Cincinnati with contemporary annotations of location dates and personnel and a "Rombach and Groene Commercial Photographers Cincinnati Ohio" stamp on the verso. <br /> <br /> A fascinating prohibition artifact depicting fifteen men and one woman standing in a warehouse before a stack of three whiskey barrels the topmost barrel prominently marked "1" less than two months before the passage of the 21st Amendment December 5 1933 repealing prohibition. On the verso in a contemporary hand is written: "First Barrel Whiskey produced in the State of Ohio since the 18th amendment became effective / manufactured and produced at the Carthage Distilling Corpn. plant Cincinnati Ohio / mashed under date Oct. 20th 1933 / drawn and entered under date Oct. 23rd 1933."<br /> <br /> Cincinnati Ohio second only to Louisville Kentucky in the production of bourbon prior to the end of prohibition was best known during prohibition as the headquarters for the "King of Bootleggers" George Remus. Cincinnati was located within a 300 mile radius of 80 percent of all of America's bonded whiskeys making it an ideal location for a massive bootlegging enterprise as well as for the headquarters to the Schenley Distillery one of only six distilleries nationwide with a license to sell medicinal spirits during prohibition. An October 26 1933 article from the Cincinnati Enquirer entitled "Big Blending Plant Planned For Reading; First Legal Whisky In Ohio Is Produced" confirms the annotations on the photograph "Simultaneously with the actual production of medicinal whisky at its plant in Carthage-said to be the first legal whisky turned out in Ohio since prohibition-it became known yesterday that the National Distillers Products Corporation New York largest distiller in the country will locate one of its major blending and bottling plants in the immediate vicinity of Cincinnati." The article continues "The Carthage Distillery on Anthony Wayne Avenue Carthage is the only distillery now operating in the state of Ohio." In 1933 the Carthage Distilling Company was acquired by the National Distillers Products Corporation and in 1987 was bought by Jim Beam.<br /> <br /> Established in 1883 Cincinnati photographers Rombach and Groene specialized in commercial and landscape photography. In 2001 the Cincinnati Museum Center acquired the Rombach and Groene Collection a collection of over 6500 glass and film negatives and a hundred prints dating from 1870 to 1970. The company closed in 1973.<br /> <br /> 10 x 8 inches. Very Good with some modest creasing four small bruises and a small repair to the surface of the image to the center right. Romach and Groene unknown

[Prohibition] Anti-Saloon League
TO THE WORKINGMEN! VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT! VOTE "YES" APRIL 22 caption title
Westerville OH: The American Issue Publishing Co. 1918. Very good. Vintage broadside. Image:12.75 x 20 in.; framed: 19 x 26 in. Custom dark brown wood frame matted under UV museum glass. Not examined outside of frame. Very good or better. <br /> <br /> Westerville Ohio was known as the "Dry Capital of the World" and home of the Anti-Saloon League -- the driving force behind the Prohibition movement in the United States. Some historians consider the league - founded in Oberlin Ohio in 1893 but based in Westerville from 1909 to 1973 - to be the first successful single-issue advocacy group a type of lobbying group common in the modern political landscape. This particular broadside from the prolific group admonishes men to "Save your wages for your families and do not sink them in saloons." There are quotes from Father Mahoney who testifies "Only let the claims of Prohibition be put before the Irish Americans and other Catholics in a way worthy of it and of them and all their tender feelings will make them be not only voters for Prohibition but its most earnest and effective guardians." There are further testimonies from anti-saloon advocates from the Knights of Labor and an author who wrote several books regarding the evils of drink. The American Issue Publishing Co. unknown

First edition of this rare Washington Territory lawbook including the January 29 1886 Alien Land Ownership law which was the only anti-Chinese measure to pass the legislature as well as two laws related to Prohibition advocated by newly empowered women’s suffrage voters. The Alien Land laws emerged out of the anti-Chinese riots in Tacoma WA in November 1885 when labor organizations such as the Knights of Labor with the aid of the Pierce County Sheriff succeeded in forcing all of the Chinese residents out of town as well as torching their homes. Building on the 1882 Federal Chinese Exclusion Acts the Territorial Legislature specifically excluded any “Alien†who were “incapable of becoming citizens of the United States†could neither own land or convey title of properties to heirs. Unfortunately for the Chinese in Seattle this failed to placate socialist firebrands suffragettes & Knights of Labor advocates Laura Hall Peters and Mary Kenworthy or the equally charismatic Knights of Labor organizer Daniel Cronin. In February 1886 hundreds of working-class white men and women on the pretense of enforcing local health regulations condemned buildings in Seattle’s Chinatown and herded over 350 Chinese residents down to the Seattle docks and demanded they ship out. About 200 Chinese embarked for San Francisco and another had to wait six days for another ship setting off a riot and declaration by Washington Territory Governor Squire and President Grover Cleveland. The “Local Option†law passed by the Territorial Legislature in 1886 garnered huge opposition from saloon owners and cases brought resulted in the 1888 ruling against “Local Option†by the Territorial Supreme Court returning the power back to city councils and county commissioners.

Reveals much about he intricacies of the state in economic life, particularly the apparent contradiction between promotion and regulation." - Preface.

Carr, William Guy
High and Dry: The Post-War Experiences of the Author of "By Guess and By God"
[4], 5-254, [2], 8 [ads], pages. This portion of Carr's life story begins after his experience as a submariner in WWI. He serves as an officer of the Mercantile Marine and experiences incredible adventures and hardships before deciding to move his young family from England to New Brunswick. Times are tough in his new land. He describes the local poverty and exposes the awful social problems of rural New Brunswick, as well as his dramatic adventures at work, with a local trapper and as a member of the C.P.R. police. In short, Carr was a man's man and this book is full of manly adventures. Later in life, Carr [1895-1959] became very concerned about what he viewed as plans for world government and wrote Pawns in the Game and Red Fog Over America, books which sold by the hundreds of thousand. The present work is vital in understanding the background and motivations of this fascinating man. Above-average wear to publisher's black cloth. Binding intact. Gift greetings upon front free endpaper. Spine leaning. Dust jacket not included. Not pretty but a worthy reading copy. Book
