Diary Beatrice E. Smither
One year in the life of a young woman educated socially active and employed in the years following suffrage
Richmond VA 1925. One year diary bound by Fidelity and Deposit Company of Richmond. Comprised of 271 pages handwritten by Beatrice E. Smither a young woman working in a law firm five years after the 19th Amendment's passage. The majority of passages are written in longhand with scattered shorthand throughout. Beatrice's daily diary reveals an incredibly active life and gives a strong sense of the kind of independence that women of her generation were experiencing.<br/><br/>Employed in Richmond Virginia at the law firm of Williams and Mullen founded 1909 and still operating Beatrice Smithers is the embodiment of a flapper. Throughout the year of 1925 she reports daily on her work at the law firm where she frequently stays til 6:00 or later on meetings of her multiple church and civic clubs and on her romances with two men Cy and George who rival for her affection. She even reports on political events such as board local and presidential elections in which she participates. The diary is clearly a safe space for her where she can sort out ideas and emotions. <br/><br/>"Quite busy at work today" she reports on January 5 "Lunch at noon with Mae Burton - at night trying to work up some plan for Junior Council Meeting - Cy talks to me early - does not bring me home from work - John D. calls me up and wants me to attend a meeting of the Sunday Night Club." In entries like these we get a sense of the busy rhythm of Beatrice's days. In others we get a sense of her ability to manage and lead groups and how seriously she takes community engagement. "Leave office at 5:25 to ride up.to Public Library & look over same & I take out our membership card to get a book for my Sunday leading exercise -- Mae brings me home & I work for awhile on preparing to lead Sunday morning exercises" she reports on January 22. We also get regular glimpses into Beatrice's private life and her family. "Dear Diary" she writes on February 18 "As if we are not all worried enough to kill us with father's craziness drunk nearly all the day since he got back from Westbrook I had to turn my ankle while walking." The next day "Father home - who is again as usual drunk with liquor and not himself." The addiction issues in her family drive Beatrice to pursue financial independence -- and to think seriously about her choice of a mate as she debates between Cy "so dear and devilish" and George "so sweet and faithful"; she even despairs "I wonder if I am a traitor to my own self loving two men at the same time" and "I wish I could die!.Everything is a mess." There are even entries that cryptically suggest she had a pregnancy scare or was using the rhythm method to avoid it: "Menstruation begins" October 8 and "Menstruation ends" Oct 14 the only two such in the whole book. In the course of the year she ultimately breaks with Cy gets engaged to stable and supportive George and decides to continue working.<br/><br/>A densely packed manuscript with research potential including but not limited to women's employment history gender studies post-suffrage literature the history of reading the history of social and civic clubs in America the history of tourism paleography family addiction and mental illness and sexuality. unknown books

The Newspaper Guild of New York
Page One of 1953: Yearbook of New York's Newspaper Men and Women
New York: Newspaper Guild of New York. Very Good. 1953. "20th Anniversary". Hardcover. pictorial paper label on front cover; no dust jacket as issued shelfwear and bumping to bottom edges some fraying to cloth at top of spine a few tiny stains adjacent to spine on both front and rear covers B&W photographs cartoons ads etc. Commemorative yearbook issued to coincide with the "Page One Ball" an annual shindig at which the Big Apple's newspapermen and probably a few women gathered to make merry give themselves awards and generally congratulate one another for being well New York newspapermen at a time when NYC boasted no fewer than seven daily papers. Numerous reporters and columnists contributed short pieces many of a humorous nature and quite a few having to do with the vicissitudes of the journalistic racket and/or aspects of New York life. The cover illustration is by Fred L. Packer and among the cartoonists whose work appears in the book are Milton Caniff Irving Hoffman Bernard Seaman Chic Young and Virgil Partch VIP. And of course there are the ads: product ads for cigarettes airlines restaurants liquor hotels etc. and also numerous "tribute" ads mostly from showbiz figures "Best wishes from Sid Caesar" that sort of thing. This particular copy was personalized via the gold-embossment of his name at the lower corner of the front cover for film director Fred Zinnemann and laid in is a presentation letter to him from Ted Nelson Director of the Page One Ball; unfortunately whoever did the cover-embossing omitted the final "n" from Zinnemann's name. The high spirits documented in this publication unfortunately didn't quite survive all the way to the end of 1953: on November 28 six of the city's seven daily papers went on strike the photo engravers wanted a raise and better working conditions and for eleven whole days readers had only the Herald Tribute available to them for their regular news fix. NOTE that although the cover illustration references the "20th Anniversary" this would appear to be a reference to the Newspaper Guild of New York itself; I've found no evidence that this sort of commemorative "Page One" volume had been published prior to 1951. In any event an OCLC search turns up less than a handful of library holdings of this publication. . Newspaper Guild of New York hardcover books

Courier Journal Job Printing Co
Small Lot of 19 Typography Books from the Technical Library of the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company
Various: Various 1918-1955. Hardcover. Very Good. For an itemized list of the items in this lot please inquire. Condition Very Good to Good. The Courier-Journal newspaper began publication in Louisville Kentucky in 1868 - the last run of the Courier-Journal newspaper was Sunday February 28 2021; the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company printing facilities closed for good on March 4th 2021. The material offered here is dated 1918 through circa 1955 and includes technical material used by apprentices and compositors working in the composition and press rooms of the Courier-Journal Job Printing Co. Included are 6 volumes of the Typographic Technical Series For Apprentices Part VI Nos. 32-40 out of series Chicago IL: Published by the Committee on Education United Typothetae of America 1918. All copies with the bookplate "Property of Courier-Journal Job Printing Co. For EMPLOYES' sic Use Only Return to Superintendent's Office" in a handsome Art Nouveau design on the front paste-down. This educational material demonstrates that the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company was unionized at least from the beginning of the twentieth-century and highlights the power and influence of typographers who were among the most educated economically mobile wage laborers in the United States and who were represented in every major urban center in the newspaper industry; the typographic unions won a 48-hour work week in 1897 and a standard wage scale throughout the newspaper industry; as an example of the power of the typographers unions in the 1930s the International Typographical Union introduced the 40-hour work week across the industry which spread to other unions and has sinse been codified across the labor sector by federal legislation; the typographers occupied an important if ambiguous place in the development of American labor history in as much as American labor was never successful in uniting all laborers together in one force but tended organize within industries. This grouping tends to focus on the tools of the trade including type specimens and catalogs of process inks issued in the 1920s and 1930s; Courier-Journal typographers left notes to themselves in these catalogs indicating material they felt needed representation in the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company's shops. Something of an outlier in this grouping is an accordion-fold volume of photographs of printing equipment available for use in the 1950s by the competing print shop The Standard Printing Company Incorporated of Louisville Kentucky. Most likely a salesman's dummy to show potential clients that The Standard Printing Company had the latest printing equipment and the most prestigious customers this undated circa 1955 without imprint accordion-fold photo-archive of printing equipment shows the most modern print shop of the 1950s. The earliest book printed by the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company was issued in 1884. An interesting article by Chris Kenning in the Louisville Courier Journal March 11 2021 gave some valuable insights into the history of the newspaper the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company and the challenges to the newspaper business and printing in general in the United States with the advent of desktop computers and the rise of the internet. While the Kenning article did not touch much on the time period 1918-1955 there are still interesting stories to tell about the printing industry in America the place of printing in the American labor movement and printing technology in the first half of the twentieth century that can be told using the materials offered here as visual aids. With the sale of the Courier-Journal to the Gannett Co. Inc in 1986 the road to the shut down of the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company was opened. Now the Courier-Journal newspaper will be printed in Indianapolis IN. The current print circulation of the paper is now under 60000 while the Courier Journal's digital journalism garners 4.5 million monthly visitors to their website. Media consolidation has been made possible with the internet's ability to distribute news on a minute-by-minute basis making regional newspapers printed on paper a redundancy. The Cincinnati Enquirer the Lexington Herald-Leader the Bowling Green Daily News are all regional newspapers that will no longer be produced locally after having been produced in Louisville by the presses of the Courier-Journal. This consolidation of the newspaper industry means the loss of 102 Louisville jobs including printing press operators mailroom and transportation jobs that have been lost to the relocation of the press work to Indianapolis.

manuscript; HUNTING; ENGLISH VICTORIAN DIARY
English Victorian manuscript diary containing the hunting notes of a Pytchley man Charles W. Prescott 1871; amusing not only to the hunting-world
England 1870s. Hardcover. Very Good. England Kent and Norfolk counties: c. 1871-1874. 8vo 175 x 115mm; 61 numbered pages in the hand of Charles W. Prescott detailing his various hunting excursions around the Kent countryside. Prescotts ownership inscription on front free-endpaper is dated 1871. His entries are easily read and cover Prescotts adventures on hunting hares with a skulk of foxes writing Found another in the same field ran her straight back to Old Park round the pond and the pack hunted her beautifully
. Dec. 16 1871. The hunts took place over sprawling village and countryside or as he describes hop-gardens hills and ploughs of land in the Herne Bay area of Kent England. Many entries are headed by recognizable locations; Stroud Park Broomfield Hilsborough Wolston Heath and Chislet Mill and are dated with month and sometimes year. Only a portion of the way full his entries span about three years the first dated: Oct. 19 71 Stroud Park and last March 25 1874. Contemporary black morocco marbled endpapers and marbled endpapers with original brass clasp faint splitting at lower hinge of first few leaves strengthened at endpapers corners rubbed otherwise in very good shape especially considering it was wielded around so much of the Kentish countryside. Prescott makes many personal anecdotes about his day noting things in his surroundings like scent moderate or adding his opinions we could not kill I think we should have but the sun was too hot. Prescott often ends the entries with jotting down the days weather as something like very indifferent but as good as could be expected with a very cold east wind or simply stating Frost. It is evident from Prescotts personal asides that he was a vigilant huntsman quite dedicated to the task. Further personal glimpses reveal a record of his horses charming names including Salt Fish and Molly Malone. At the time Prescott was taking these notes Herne Bay area and the Kentish villages would have been teeming with people. The Victoria era was one of prosperity when elite English folk flocked to popular destinations to partake in their favorite pastimes. From 1873 on in the journal Prescott notes he was hunting with Pytchley by writing their name in parentheses. The Pytchley hunt is an organization originally based in Northamptonshire in formation as early at the 1630s. The organization is still active today. Pytchleys website notes that from 1819-1873 right as Prescott began with Pytchley for one year the Althorp and Pytchley countries were hunted by one pack with a second pack established at Brigstock. Prescott was part of the famous hunt organization at a time when it was amid significant change and expansion. His notes may keep further clue of such growth. While the huntsman himself may be unknown to history the anecdotal evidence in Prescotts diary gives us a glimpse of the Victorian man fond of his sport. <br/><br/> hardcover books
