1939rif. 180510Japan. circa1939. 103 name or business cards mounted on 17 window-faced card leaves a little faded and a few tears in an album 26.2 x 18.3 cm; green linen boards gilt decorated spine a little chipped and rubbed but in remarkable original condition. An album of Japanese name cards collected in the late 1930s apparently by Bruce Rogers who held a post at the University of Oregon. The name cards which are organized roughly in alphabetical order in a purpose-made album offer a fascinating insight into the network of contacts of a western resident in prewar Japan. They include cards presented to Rogers by journalists academics businesspeople diplomats and others. Though quite a number of his contacts are Americans or other foreigners the majority are Japanese. There are three cards from George Albert Makinson 1886-1972 and his wife presented at the time when Makinson was US Consul General in Osaka a post he took up in1938 and a card presented by Parliamentary Lower House member Honda Yoshinari 1871-1952. Some of the cards include inscriptions thanking Rogers for hospitality and one particularly interesting one is inscribed with a message of introduction from a Japanese acquaintance asking for Rogers to be allowed to be present during an air-raid drill in Tokyo an omen of the approaching war. . hardcover
2006rif. 90555Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 2006. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good. iii 1 53 7 pages. The Chairman opened the hearing by saying "we’re anxious that this hearing be productive that while we explore these differences between the United States and our neighbor Canada we can better understand what is dividing us. And I think all of us hope for a new beginning with Canada. This is—however is an issue that has bedeviled people on both sides of the border. And a desire to have greater understanding and perhaps open up opportunities for further dialogue is the motive behind this hearing. So today’s hearing is going to examine the economic impacts of the Canadian softwood lumber dispute on the competitiveness and the survival of the American forest-products sector." The Chairman further stated "While I recognize the importance to consumers of an affordable supply of lumber that privilege neither outweighs nor is incompatible with trade laws of this country. Ultimately trade laws and trade agreements are to the advantage of American consumers but free trade assumes fair competition. Neither appears to be fully intact in the North American lumber market. This debate has lasted more than 20 years and we have two options before us. We can continue along a path of patchwork of tariffs and quotas or we can seek to resolve the differences in our lumber systems. We can continue to act as two countries with two markets or we can proceed as one continent with a shared market that abides by the same market rules. I realize that this dispute has strained relations with our neighbor to the north and that is most unfortunate. I deeply value our relationship with Canada which Churchill described once as the lynchpin of the English-speaking world. We share security and our democratic interests on this continent and throughout the world. Canada and the United States also have a very special economic relationship. Indeed we essentially form one large common market. For my part I want to extend to the new Canadian Government my sincere hope of a renewed North American relationship. The prompt resumption of negotiations with the United States on the softwood issue can and should be the inaugural act of that new relationship. The faster we can resolve our differences the sooner companies on both sides of the border can reassert themselves in the world market. If litigation is pursued at the expense of mutual settlement however I fear both countries and both economies will suffer. Mills on both sides of the border will continue to close and other nations beyond this continent will gladly fill in the gap. With respect to the U.S. Government I want to point out that the Canadian lumber dispute is the largest trade case in our history. This Administration and this Senator are both strong proponents of free trade. However my ability to continue supporting free-trade agreements rests upon confidence that U.S. industries are fully protected under U.S. trade law; by that meaning that they and their competitors are playing by the same rules. I applaud our officials at Commerce and USTR for the time and the gray hairs they have invested in this case and I very much look forward to their report." U. S. Government Printing Office paperback
1843rif. 24188St. Louis: John B. Sarpy 1843. Folio. 2 pp. 12 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches. Docketed on verso fold lines with some separation a few repaired. A manuscript affidavit written by fur magnate John Baptiste Sarpy of Pierre Chouteau & Co. that gives one a granular sense of the difficulities of running a frontier business dependent on mountain men like Jim Bridger and Frapp. A remarkable window onto the business dealings of famed mountain man Jim Bridger this signed manuscript affidavit of John B. Sarpy testifies to his actions on behalf of the estate of fellow fur trader Henry Fraeb also known as Frapp who was killed by Indians in the Rocky Mountains. Sarpy who was a partner in the major fur firm Pierre Chouteau &. Co. had worked closely with Frapp and knew him well. In his affidavit he writes about the Chouteau Company's concerns about Jim Bridger Frapp's partner at the time of his demise and the difficulty of getting Bridger to pay his debts. Written in St. Louis Sarpy's affidavit states: "On the 8th day of August last he was appointed . . . administrator of the estate of Henry Fraeb then lately deceased. Said Fraeb had been a trader in the mountains & was at the time of his death in partnership with a man of the name of James Bridger & said Bridger & Fraeb were indebted to the firm of Pierre Chouteau Jr. & Co. & it was feared by the members of said firm that unless some one became the administrator of the said Fraeb the said Bridger might interpose difficulties in the settlement of the accounts existing between them & Bridger & Fraeb & for the purpose of doing justice to themselves as well as to the said Fraeb the said Sarpy applied for letters of administration which were granted to him as above mentioned. The said Bridger has however since this time been here & has settled in full the accounts existing between the firm of Pierre Chouteau Jr. & Co. & the said Bridger & Fraeb. And the said Sarpy says that no property has come into his hands as the administrator of the said Fraeb although it may be that the said Fraeb has property in the mountain country or in the hands of James Bridger his former partner." Though he may have been one of the greatest and most beloved mountain men of all time Jim Bridger was not the best debtor in the world nor did Pierre Chouteau & Co. forget business. John B.
