PHOTOGRAPHIC ALBUM OF WHITE MOTOR COMPANY VEHICLES.

1910réf. 55051Chicago. ca. 1910. Trade Album of Early Automobiles and Trucks A handsome trade album of vehicles available from the White Motor Company Cleveland Ohio which grew out of the White Sewing Machine Company into one of the largest truck military and heavy equipment manufacturers of the 20th century. This album was created especially for W.J. Urquhart who according to a notice in The Horseless Age a contemporary trade periodical was the general manager of the Western sales department headquartered in Chicago. The album opens with a photograph of a Pabst beer truck and continues with a wide variety of passenger and commercial vehicles most with the names of the companies painted on the sides. Among the commercial vehicles depicted are trucks operated by Marshall Field Red Rock beverages the Birmingham Coca-Cola Bottling Company Pocahontas Coal and B.F. Goodrich and there are also images of an ambulance and a police car. A few of the images are detailed views of engines transmissions or other mechanical parts of the vehicles. Most of the photographs have a label on the reverse describing the vehicle or part its price and in some cases also including information on the purchaser. Several of the owners are local but most are scattered across the country Canada and even Russia. A few photos depict the full fleet of a company's trucks lined up proudly in front of factories warehouses and storefronts. Despite the company's reputation decades of mismanagement at higher levels forced the company to declare bankruptcy in 1980; White was bought by Volvo the following year. Such early automobile trade albums are rare. Oblong pebbled morocco album gilt title on front board. Boards rubbed and worn corners bumped spine perished. Photographs mounted on original linen which is slightly curled. A few small chips to edges no loss to images occasional toning and spots to images. The photographs overall in near fine condition.

Real Photo Postcard of the Chapel Car "The Crusader of the Divine Child" Destined for China

1940réf. List3839Rutherford New Jersey: Garrway Co 1940. Real photo postcard measuring approximately 3 ½ x 5 ½ inches. Photograph shows a priest celebrating Mass at an outdoor altar attached to a streamlined trailer chapel with several women kneeling or seated before it. Captioned in the negative: "Chapel Car 'The Crusader of the Divine Child' destined for China" and "Go ye into the whole world and preach the Gospel to every creature. St. Luke 16.15." Divided postcard back unused printed for the Franciscan Mission Crusade 812 N. Salina Street Syracuse New York with "Help the Missions" appeal and Proverbs 19:17 quotation. Some wear and toning; very good. A real photo postcard showing the Franciscan Mission Crusade's chapel car "The Crusader of the Divine Child" described here as destined for China. The image shows a mobile Catholic altar built into a trailer with a priest vested for Mass and a small outdoor congregation gathered before him. The verso identifies the card as a mission fundraising or promotional piece issued by the Franciscan Mission Crusade of Syracuse New York. Another cataloged example of this image identifies the scene as a Catholic mobile chapel at Hingan Fu Shensi China suggesting that the trailer may have reached the mission field rather than remaining only a fundraising image produced in the United States. The combination of American fundraising address named chapel car China destination and another cataloged example located at Hingan Fu gives the card a fuller paper trail than most missionary postcards of mobile chapels. American Catholic missionaries were active in China through the first half of the twentieth century but their work was largely disrupted after the Communist victory in 1949 when foreign missionaries were expelled and Catholic institutions were reorganized under state pressure.
