1936rif. BK0067United States 1936. Photograph measuring 9 ⅜ x 7 ½ inches. With manuscript caption date stamp and later sticker verso. Some wrinkling to edges especially right. Excellent. A 1936 press photograph showing workers laying out and riveting the roof of a massive gas tank at Ford's River Rouge complex with cranes smokestacks and plant buildings visible beyond them. The image captures the Rouge at the height of its industrial power as a vast integrated manufacturing landscape with its own steel mill glass plant power plant docks rail connections and internal energy infrastructure. The caption identifies the structure as a 10000000-cubic-foot gas tank part of the unseen systems that made Ford's celebrated vertical integration possible. Visually the photograph is especially strong with the scattered workers dwarfed by the tank's broad surface and the distant factory skyline giving the scene the scale and abstraction of Depression-era industrial photography. 1 Remko van Hoek The Making of the Supply Chain: How Five CSCMP Supply Chain Hall of Famers Shaped the Industry Epic Books 2024 39-42. . unknown books

1844rif. List3335Kalamazoo Michigan 1844. Single three-page letter measuring 7 ½ x 9 ¾ inches. Folded with very small tears at folds; larger tear at seal intersecting with text. Overall excellent to Near Fine. An 1844 letter from a woman who had recently moved to Kalamazoo to a friend in Urbana Ohio. The writer describes Kalamazoo: “It is nearly four months since we bade our sad adieu to Staten Island and our lovely abode & here have we been in the wilds of Michigan some two or three months we remained at Detroit two or three weeks with our youngest brother — the first of June our elder brother David removed to Kalamazoo and it is really a beautiful wonderful place; and of far greater magnitude than I had formed any conception and only ten years ago nothing but the indian war whoop was heard — now it really to a stranger presents almost as bustling an appearance as Detroit; much taste has been evinced by the founders of this magical village of the west; – they have allowed to remain unharmed the splendid forest trees and the whole town presents the aspect of a grove — it is becoming the great thoroughfare to St Josephs & Chicago & St Louis —.” The first white settler within what is now the city of Kalamazoo Titus Bronson arrived in 1829; within ten years Kalamazoo County had several thousand residents. The writer also describes her plans for traveling to New Orleans hoping to avoid the seasickness-inducing “‘big lake’ travelling”. This would have been difficult as plank roads were not laid in the area until the following year and railroads would not reach Kalamazoo until 1846. Of interest to historians of white American settlement of Michigan. unknown

1851rif. 5082Detroit. 1851. The situation in Michigan in the mid-1840's foreshadowed a struggle which became more prominent - and more inequitable - after the Civil War. The Michigan Central Railroad opened the fertile area up for agricultural development by providing transportation but it also put the farmers at the mercy of the line as far as freight rates. In an era before any regulatory control the line played favorites to friends and squeezed the small farmers. The latter responded with sabotage and it was the agrarian vs. technology. An early and important case suggesting much of what was to come on the American landscape. Old calf rebacked. Internally very good. unknown
