1899Best.-Nr. 7503Boston: F.M. Porter Co 1899. Quarto stapled in wrappers 24 x 17.5 cm. 80 pages; 1 plate. Illustrated black & white and chromolithograph plate. Advertising. FIRST EDITION. The "Official catalog musical program list of exhibitors" for this fourth congress of members of the Boston Retail Grocers Association. The association was founded in 1881 and held its first food fair that year. Photographic portraits of the senior members of the Association are included as is a description of Miss Nellie Dot Ranche of Chicago who was brought in for the occasion to run the Domestic Science Programs. It's interesting that the committee reached out to the Midwest at this moment when Cooking Schools in Boston were on the rise and very visible. The copious advertising displays a range of categories of goods one would find in a grocery of the turn of the 19th century: coffee cocoa mustard Havana cigars root beer Ceylon tea French Coca Wine virgin olive oil nut meats and salt as well as household goods including: thread collars washing liquids bluing ink. Also represented are goods and services aimed at the grocers and retailers: boxes and bags promotional printing specialized contracting refrigeration etc. Tiny bit of spotting to green and gold-printed gray wrappers otherwise fine.

1934Best.-Nr. 7508Boston: B.B. Inc.; Ben-Burk Distillers 1934. Small folded pamphlet 11 x 6.5 cm. 16 pages when folded. Printed in red black and blue. FIRST EDITION. One of the very rare precursors to the famous Old Mr. Boston Bartender's Guide 1935. Following Repeal Ben-Burk Distillers published the Guide which was to become one of the iconic cocktail recipe books.

1935Best.-Nr. 233291935. Public TransitMassachusetts Trolley and railway car photograph archive documenting electric transit circulation across Boston and the Greater Boston Area including Lynn Haverhill Lawrence Saugus Marblehead Watertown in the 1930s. The archive records cars trolley routes terminals and yards on the streets of Boston and surrounding cities during the long transition from privately run trolley networks to publicly managed metropolitan transit. Most images show the Boston Elevated Railway and Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway orbit with additional views tied to Springfield Providence and Connecticut operations placing the photographs within the broader interurban rail network that linked Boston to surrounding towns before the official creation of the MBTA. Boston's subway system is the oldest in the United States created in the 1890s by the Rapid Transit Commission in response to severe streetcar congestion on Tremont Street. The system created by the Boston Elevated Railway Company at the turn of the century helped define the infrastructure of modern Boston transit. These photographs preserve the street-level operating environment in the early years of expanding public transport in the city: destination boards transfer points yard scenes terminal loops and rolling stock moving through dense commercial districts snowbound streets and residential outskirts prior to the establishment of the MBTA in 1947. Photo archive of 41 silver gelatin photographs approximately 3 x 5.5 inches greater Boston and nearby cities in New England circa 1934-1946. The archive includes single-car and articulated streetcars coupled cars work or service equipment and yard scenes photographed in active street settings. Visible destination and route identifiers include Main Myrtle Lakeside Watertown Boston Tunnel Beach Bluff Saugus Branch Essex St Lawrence Main St line Haverhill Oak Park line and Marblehead Depot with captions on verso marking dates and locations. Several photographs show cars in dense commercial blocks with visible storefronts and wall advertising including American Loan & Savings Association Whitworth's Rubber Sporting Goods M. Casey & Co. Cigars & Tobacco Coca-Cola Pillsbury's Best Flour Harms School of Business and Rem for coughs; others show cars at depots loops and yards including Hooker St Yards. Repeated fare and service slogans are also visible on the cars especially "Save money with weekly pass" and "Ride all day for $1 20 cities 51 towns" makes the archive particularly strong as evidence of regional transit marketing and network integration. Other images capture scenes of the train cars in the snow at crossings switching tracks and running beside early automobiles an active record of the trolley system functioning within everyday urban traffic. This archive preserves the operating network that fed a larger system of public transit across city neighborhoods and outlying towns serviced by America's oldest subway system. The photographs show the routes terminal circulation yard storage and municipal reach of this system especially in the Eastern Massachusetts territory where one fare structure and one rolling-stock family served dozens of communities. Light handling wear and some discoloration on verso images clean and complete. Overall very good condition. A large visual record of the Greater Boston street railway service moving through city streets suburbs and terminals. unknown

First edition of this extremely rare first science fiction book discusses the biological probability of the possibility of life on planets in the Solar System, with semi-fictional texts, in the light of scientific knowledge at the time of publication. Osman Nuri Eralp was a Turkish veterinarian and microbiologist. Eralp was born in Istanbul in the Ottoman Empire. He completed his university education at "Mekteb-i Tibbiye-i Mülkiye" which was the medical school of Darülfünun [i.e. House of Multiple Sciences, name of Istanbul University in Ottoman era].
