1923ref. 49740New Orleans: Southern Pine Association 1923. 1923. TRADE CATALOG. Scarce early first edition of this nicely illustrated collection of plans. 9" x 12" unfolding to 18" x 12" 24 pp consisting of introductory text followed by 11 plans each accompanied by descriptive text and an illustration of the completed structure. Founded in 1915 the Southern Pine Association was a trade organization that engaged in extensive group marketing as well as in the development of standards and quality controls for the lumber industry. According to the website of the organization's current iteration the Southern Forest Products Association early members "initiated the practice of forest management in the South. These pioneers at first ridiculed for what was perceived as naive efforts slowly led the Southern lumber industry to renewed vigor." This publication aimed at "the amateur who wants to build his own garage" offers considerations for selecting a design layout and location for your garage full details of all necessary supplies and a handy table of automobile sizes apparently for the man who can build a garage but lacks the ability to measure his own car. We find no copies of this edition listed in OCLC where the earliest copy found dates from 1925. Chip missing from lower corner of front wrapper moderate general wear from use including chipping and short tears at edges one leaf detached. Stamped many times with the details of the distributing business the J. C. Dearstine Lumber Co. of Schenectady New York. Good plus copy. Southern Pine Association, [1923]. unknown

1833ref. 32746np 1833. 10 2 blank pp. Caption title as issued stitched untrimmed partly uncut. Minor dustsoiling on untrimmed edges. Else crisp and bright. Near Fine. This is the Brief submitted to the United States Supreme Court by the City of New Orleans. The City and the United States each claimed title to the same area of "vacant public land." The City sought to sell it. The United States objected on the ground that the land "formerly belonging to the Crowns of France and Spain successively passed by treaty to the United States." The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana enjoined the sale. The City appealed. The City's Brief an unusually detailed examination of its chain of title beginning in 1720 argues that ownership of the disputed lands did not vest in the United States under the treaty to purchase Louisiana; and that the "original plan of the City" left those lands "for the use of the inhabitants." The Supreme Court agreed. Its opinion by Justice McLean of Ohio is officially reported at 35 U.S. 662 1836. Daniel Webster and Edward Livingston-- who had spent years fending off U.S. claims to New Orleans alluvial lands-- represented the City; Attorney General Benjamin Franklin Butler was counsel for the United States.
