The gilt lettering on the front cover is a bit faded the photos are very clear and sharp. Overall in very good condition. This aviation photo album was a salesman’s book to show potential clients the diverse Waco aircraft in action. Ten of the eleven photos are captioned i.e. A Close-up of the Trans-Continental Race Winner; Sport WACO Trans-Continental Race Team; The Sport Waco in Inverted Flight; A Flyaway Delivery of Three OX-5 WACO and one Whirlwind WACO; A Special Whirlwind WACO made to the Order of Mr. T. Higbee Embry of Cincinnati; etc. Several companies operated under the Waco name with the first company being the Weaver Aircraft Company founded by George E. Weaver Clayton Bruckner and Elwood Junkin in 1920 in Lorain and Medina Ohio. When Weaver left it took on the name of the Advanced Aircraft Company based in Troy. That name was followed by the Advanced Aircraft Company based in Troy Ohio and finally to Waco Aircraft Company sometime in 1928/1929 in tribute to the Waco air field near Troy. The plane became very successful due to its reliability and became the choice of traveling businessmen postal services and explorers especially after the company in 1930 began to produce closed-cabin models in addition to their open cockpit biplanes. In fact there were more WACO plans registered between the wars than any other aircraft made by competitive companies. During World War II Waco produced large numbers of military gliders for the RAF and US Army Air Forces for airborne operations especially during the Normandy Invasion and Operation Market Garden. The Waco CG-4 was the most numerous of their glider designs to be produced. At the same time Waco produced over 600 of its UPF-7 open biplanes and 21 VKS-7F cabin biplanes for the Civilian Pilot Training program which supplemented the output of the military training establishments. Forty-two privately owned models of sixteen types were impressed into service as light transports and utility aircraft with the USAAF under the common designation C-72/UC-72. After the war in 1947 when the anticipated boom in aviation failed to develop Waco went out of business. Source: Wikipedia Privately photographed, n.d. (ca 1928-1929). hardcover

Unrecorded imprint.It is possible that this notice with the place and date left blank. was for a traveling religious tableau and lecture to be undertaken perhaps in the North to raise money for African missionaries for there seems to be a thread of African-related work suggested in the choice of the men included.After describing the tableaux depicting various elements in the Life of Moses there is scheduled a homage made to two recently dead Baptist Preachers: Edenborough G. Corprew who died in Portsmouth Virginia and Solomon Cosby a Danville Virginia native who died in Abeokuta West Africa aged 31. Both men died in 1881.Also mentioned in the broadside is John Jasper 1812–1901 another prominent Virginia Baptist Preacher best remembered for his sermon The Sun Do Move which expressed his deep faith in God through the imagery of a flat Earth around which the sun rotates.Finally British Baptist Charles Spurgeon is mentioned. Spurgeon a prominent abolitionist known as the “Prince of Preachers” never came to the United States but had a close relationship with Thomas Lewis Johnson the Virginian author of: Africa for Christ. Twenty-Eight Years a Slave—Johnson studied for two years in the college that Spurgeon founded named posthumously Spurgeon College before leaving for his two-year stint in the Cameroons. On his return a sick and grieving widower Spurgeon was one of the many British Baptists who helped him. S.l.:: s.n.,, 1882-1900. unknown

Stratford-on-Avon. He is considered the greatest playwright who ever lived. Life His father John Shakespeare was successful in the leather business during Shakespeare's early childhood but later met with financial difficulties. During his prosperous years his father was also involved in municipal affairs holding the offices of alderman and bailiff during the 1560s. While little is known of Shakespeare's boyhood he probably attended the grammar school in Stratford where he would have been educated in the classics particularly Latin grammar and literature. Whatever the veracity of Ben Jonson's famous comment that Shakespeare had "small Latine and less Greeke" much of his work clearly depends on a knowledge of Roman comedy ancient history and classical mythology. In 1582 Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway eight years his senior and pregnant at the time of the marriage. . 1965. Dell Publishing paperback
