1926Best.-Nr. 468New York: General Drafting 1926. 20 1/2 x 15 3/4 inches. Very good condition with mild soiling overall appropriate for its age and probable usage. Liberty highway was founded in 1919 at the height of the trails movement. The route runs primarily through New York state. It covers the area between New York and Cleveland not following the route through Albany and along the Erie Canal. The hotel owners along the route were the principal sponsors. This map was printed and distributed in 1926. The map was compiled in 1925 and does not use the federal numbering system. The Liberty Highway is the only road laid out in red. There are few maps that were dedicated to this highway. The association lasted into the 1930s.This map is a cartographic artifact that fits nicely into and named trail collection. For that matter it is important to any road map collection. General Drafting unknown

Printing Service Inc : Detroit 1933. Circular 190mm diameter red and cream printed card two-disc volvelle with recipes for 27 classic cocktails.

The Hotel Hayes was a grand ten-storey 200-room hotel at 228 West Michigan Avenue Jackson in the centre of Michigan. Opened in November 1926 it boasted a ballroom dining room dance hall conference rooms and the popular Drum Room bar and lounge. The hotel became a noted venue for touring big bands and musicians and was particularly popular as a G.I. gathering place during the Second World War. An evocative piece of American drinking ephemera combining practical cocktail instruction with the promotional culture of the hotel bar in the years immediately following the repeal of Prohibition. Rare. An excellent and very early post-Prohibition² cocktail volvelle. ¹ Commonly thought to be first recorded in the 1935 BarKeeper's Golden Book by O. Blunier. ² Prohibition ended on 5 December 1933. Printing Service unknown

Colour-illustrated softcovers Art Deco Cover art w/ montage of wait staff kitchen staff and medical uniforms photo illust. of women working the Angelica Factory on back cover minor rubbing edgewear curling to fore-edge minor dampsoiling to upper right corner still G copy. First edition of this brightly illustrated catalogue for uniforms and service apparel during the 1920’s featuring stylish uniforms for men and women wait staff as well as doctors nurses hospital attendants utility dresses chef’s aprons and more. With most sewn from durable and long wearing cotton duck cloth the company presents here multiple service ensembles for kitchen staff dining rooms and taverns many with decidedly Art Deco lines and patterns. This catalogue presents colour buttons & piping to be added to white Duck and Galatea cloth uniforms. Of special interest is the Angelica’s Book Store with cook books for hotels and restaurants. The company originated in 1878 when Carmine Ostari Angelica 1850-1883 created an entirely new cook’s uniform for her husband Cherubino Angelica d. 1898 while cooking for the railroad in St. Louis MO. Featuring a tall white hat with a crown double-breasted white coat cloth buttons sewn to the sides and reversible layers of cloth to protect from heat and grease splatter and even cuffs which could be turned down to function as hot pads. Within a couple years Cherubino with Carmine supplying the uniforms founded the Angelica Corporation and after her death his second wife Therese Hirsch del Angelica b. 1855 would join the company and oversaw the introduction of the iconic Harvey Girls uniforms. After Levy and his brother purchased the business and the sewing machines in 1903 the company quickly expanded to dominate the service uniform market and still is one of the primary suppliers of uniforms across the country.
