Come Wind Come Weather. Rennie's Mill Camp for Refugees.Hongkong Fifth Year 1954
No publication information given. 7.5 x 5.25 inches stapled wrappers 10 pp with illustrations from photographs map of camp. Minor handling wear; near fine. Provides a brief but interesting history of medical and social welfare work conducted by missionaries from several churches at Rennie's Mill Camp -- a settlement located "on a hillside far from town on the Kowloon side of the harbor" where refugees from Communist China were settled by the Hong Kong government beginning in 1950. As explained at the beginning of the booklet "they were people whose homes and livelihoods had been left behind in China and they were familiar with daily hunger frustration and fear. The mill had not operated for years but the wharf was good and the site extensive. There were several hundreds of disabled people crippled and blind and for these a number of tent-like tar-paper huts were built. The able-bodied had to build for themselves on bare hillside. When typhoons came their plight was very pitable." Several religious denominations American Lutheran Missouri Synod; Norwegian Litheran Mission Swedish Pentecostal Church Church of Scotland Evangelical and Reformed Church of America and others saw a need and stepped in to construct and operate churches schools and medical clinics to serve some 20000 people. This book reviews the progress of work done between 1950 and 1954 with particular attention to a newly constructed sanatorium for tuberculosis patients. It also includes statistics on patients treated at the clinics and income and expenditures of the churches. Not located in OCLC. unknown books

The narrative that follows is a time-honored tale of a woman's love that is unrequited: Mr. Jones writes to say he is coming our protagonist then practices Mr. Jones favorite songs makes his favorite pudding prepares a room and takes pains to look splendid. We next see our lady waiting patiently at the window followed by the last drawing and caption stating: Mr. Jones writes to say he can't come! - illustrated by a weeping crestfallen maiden left alone with a letter.

Amaizo Oil
Chicago: American Maize Products Co. 1923. Wraps. Black illustrated wraps. 29 pages. 20.5 x 11.5 cm. Originally Western Glucose Co. located in Hammond Indiana. In 1908 Royal Baking Powder Co. purchased a majority of the stock and changed its name to American Maize Products Co. or AMAIZO. By 1930 the company had over 1000 employees keeping the plant running 24 hours a day in three shifts. This pamphlet would certainly not be a calling card today. Using an image of an American Indian the company disrespectfully states "The American Indian did not realize as he cultivated his maize that one day corn would become the food of every nation.It is so pure and wholesome that physicians are recommending it to those who are undernourished. A tablespoonful taken three times a day for a month will improve your health." Very lightly rubbed at spine otherwise clean. <br/><br/> American Maize Products Co. paperback books
