Page 1885-1947 a pioneering automotive and aeronautical specialist and inventor. Following World War I Page left his position as the chief Aeronautical Engineering Officer in France to found the Victor W. Page Motors Corp. intended to produce over 300000 automobiles a year including the Aero-Type Four featuring his patented air-cooled motor suspension system chassis and cutaway seats. By January 1922 he was able to exhibit at the New York Auto Show with original photographs included in this dealership album of two couple sedans two convertible speedsters a display chassis and a body for the Aero-Type Four. The automobiles targeted the $ 1250- $ 1750 price range and featured steel dixc wheels contoured shell hood and fenders built with liberal amounts of aluminum.The first 15 automobiles were built in a Liberty Engine Factory including the ground-breaking 30 horsepower 4-cylinder engine featured his patented tilted steering wheel system and disc brakes. The body and chassis were built in Farmingdale MA and the engines were assembled in New York for an eventual production of just 15 cars and none survived after the liquidation auction in 1927. Page had prior experience with automobiles and had actually built 25 total cars with his earlier company the Page Motor Vehicle Co. of Providence RI which closed at the entry of the U.S. into World War I. Page in his second company as shown here intended a huge stock offering but unfortunately trusted the less than scrupulous grifter Charles Beadon to sell the stock whose salesmen ended up embezzling all dividends and profits. Some of the eary investors traveled to the Stamford CT plant to get their money back and Beadon sued him. After years of litigation the company was dissolved and all properties equipment and assets sold off. Unfortunately none of the Victor W. Page automobiles survive and this cataloguer could find no similar surviving piece of sales literature or photographs as this item.

Group Photos Documenting a Women's Summer Retreat Built from NYC Trollies

1907réf. AE4-1821907. Silver prints 22. A fascinating collection of photographs documenting the first year Camp Moodna a "street car colony" in Mountainville New York which served as a summer camp for impoverished New York City women. Under the auspices of the Downtown Ethical Society Camp Moodna was founded in 1907 by social worker Rose Gruening "The Angel of Grand Street" and it consisted of about twenty "old horse cars taken from the barns of the Metropolitan Street Railway to the mountains of Orange County" housing a different group of women each week. Camp Moodna was named for a nearby body of water seen in a number of the present photos and its genesis was described in a lengthy 1907 New York Times article "Abandoned Horse Cars Make Summer Hotel". After the success of a similar summer camp for NYC's young men Gruening wanted to create a similar program for young women. However "tent life wouldn't do; for a tent has no guardian doors that girls could lock at night and all manner of crawly things could creep under the canvas and bring on attacks of the fidgets." So "twenty perfect specimens of the classical age in New York transportation were unearthed from beneath a deep strata of dust and cobwebs in one of the barns of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company carried into the mountainland of Orange County and set upon a hillside near a beautiful babbling brook." Transporting the trollies was "no Lilliputian task." The trollies had all been stripped of their wheels before being donated so they were each 3800 pounds of dead-weight. However a flat low-bodied wagon a big team of horses and a gang of husky men with crowbars and jackscrews finally got all the potential Summer homes loaded upon Erie Railroad flatcars." And when they got to Mountainville they were transformed into two-room apartments of parlor and bedroom. Two of the others were made into diningrooms another into a kitchen and still another into a hospital. In 1925 Camp Moodna was donated to the Grand Street Settlement in 1925 and remained in Mountainville until 1955 when flooding from Hurricane Diane forced it to relocate to East Stroudsburg Pennsylvania. It was later sold to fund Grand Street's Lower East Side community center located at 80 Pitt Street. From 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches to 6 x 8 inches ; A few printed 1930s. unknown

Early Chicano Culture & The First National Low Rider Car Show Magazine San Jose 1978

1978réf. 237231978. Lowriding exhibition program from June 9 to 11 1978 documenting the emergence of the first national gathering devoted entirely to lowrider culture at the moment when customized automobiles had become one of the most recognizable forms of Chicano public expression in the American West. Organized at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose only months after the debut of Low Rider magazine the event brought together car clubs custom builders hydraulic specialists painters upholsterers musicians and spectators from across California Arizona and neighboring states. More than an automotive exhibition the program records a community built around craftsmanship neighborhood identity cruising traditions family participation and small businesses that developed alongside the Chicano movement during the 1970s. The 1st National Low Rider Car Hopping Championships and Low Rider Show. San Jose California: Moreno Concessions & Moreno Productions in association with Low Rider Magazine June 9 to 11 1978. First edition. Quarto. 36 pages. Photographically illustrated stapled wrappers. Extensively illustrated throughout with black and white photographs and a two page color spread of customized vehicles. The official program opens with a history of lowriding and its expansion from neighborhood cruising into organized exhibitions noting participation by clubs from Los Angeles San Jose Phoenix Bakersfield Sacramento and throughout the Southwest. A detailed schedule of events includes hydraulic hopping championships custom car judging awards presentations mariachi performances disco dancing live DJs Jimmy the Memory Maker and José Chavez disco dance demonstrations by the L.A. Hustle Disco Dance Company hairstyling exhibitions and evening social events. Other features document custom automobiles bicycles clubs and participants including an illustrated essay titled "Bike On" asking "What do you do if you're 12 years old can't drive but dig low and custom rides" The advertising section preserves a cross section of the commercial infrastructure surrounding the movement including custom shops hydraulic specialists upholstery businesses automotive services and local enterprises serving Northern California's lowrider community. Appearing only six months after the founding of Low Rider Magazine this program captures the publication's first effort to transform a rapidly expanding readership into a national public gathering. The essays reject contemporary stereotypes that reduced lowriding to delinquency or spectacle instead presenting it as skilled craftsmanship requiring bodywork paint upholstery hydraulics engineering and sustained club participation. The combination of bilingual language neighborhood organizations family oriented programming bicycle customization and hundreds of privately built automobiles demonstrates how lowriding functioned as both artistic practice and cultural identity within Chicano communities during the late 1970s. The program also preserves the commercial ecosystem that sustained the movement recording businesses clubs and builders whose work rarely survives in institutional archives outside ephemeral publications such as this one. Some edge wear rubbing creasing and small chips to the wrappers; light toning and handling wear internally large loss to advertisement on second to last page corner; staples sound and contents clean and near complete.

1811 Kentucky Sheriff's Revenue Bond Connecting Hardin County's Most Prominent Settlers and the Personal Stakes of Early Administrative Processes

1811réf. 0012294Hardin County Kentucky Elizabethville. Good with no dust jacket. 1811. Non-Book. On offer is an original 1811 manuscript documenting the financial machinery of government in early Kentucky and the involvement of some of the state's most prominent pioneers. At the center of the document is William Withers an early settler of strategically situated West Point and Hardin County sheriff from 1811 to 1812 entrusted with collecting and remitting the county's public revenues to the Commonwealth. The document records the $10000 state-revenue bond required of Withers upon becoming sheriff of Hardin County in 1811. Acknowledged in court on January 14 1811 Withers and his seven sureties all exceptionally prominent early settlers jointly guaranteed that he or his deputy would properly collect account for and remit every tax interest payment and other sum owed to the Commonwealth during the year. Before professional bonding companies and centralized tax departments Kentucky's county sheriffs personally collected the taxes and other public money owed to the Commonwealth. To protect the state against loss a sheriff was required to enter into a substantial bond supported by financially responsible local sureties. The sureties form a remarkable cross-section of early Kentucky's frontier governing class. They include: Benjamin Helm former sheriff and county clerk James Crutcher Merchant judge and legislator Samuel Stevenson Legislator Christopher Miller and Adam Miller brothers from a prominent pioneer family with Christopher a noted frontier scout who later served as magistrate legislator and sheriffDaniel Waide Elizabethtown innkeeper postmaster academy trustee and future state senator Christopher Bush father of Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln Note: At the date of the bond Sarah was still married to Daniel Johnston; eight years later she married Thomas Lincoln and became Abraham Lincoln's stepmother. Biographical sketches of the sureties plus William Withers himself can be found at the conclusion of the listing. The document captures state administrative processes and the personal stakes of accepting prominent roles and responsibility in early 19th century America. These men were not merely endorsing Withers's appointment but pledging their own estates to secure his handling of Kentucky's public money. An excerpt from the document reads: "We bind our selves our heirs Executors and administrators Jointly & Severally firmly by these presents. "The recto is a contemporary clerk's manuscript copy of the bond including six of the subscription names and written indications " Seal " rather than six individual autograph signatures. The verso however bears the names Christopher Miller and Daniel Waide. The hands seem different than that of the recto so it is possible that the names on the verso are signatures of Miller and Waide though this is unconfirmed. The docket reads: William WithersTo Shffs BondCommonwealth1811 January CourtackdCopiedThe docket records the bond's acknowledgment in the January 1811 court and its entry into the official county records. Rather than an isolated financial instrument the manuscript preserves both the administrative process and the personal network through which public revenue was secured in frontier Kentucky. Biographical Notes of Men Named in the BondWilliam WithersWilliam Withers was Hardin County sheriff from 1811 through 1812 and was responsible for collecting and remitting the county's public revenues. He belonged to the early West Point settlement at the confluence of the Ohio and Salt rivers. By 1800 two of his daughters had married Robert Bleakley and William Montgomery Irish-born merchants who opened an Elizabethtown dry-goods store. Withers was thus connected by family to the commercial community whose members helped guarantee his bond. Benjamin HelmBenjamin Helm was one of early Elizabethtown's principal administrators. He qualified as Hardin County's first surveyor in 1793 became an original town trustee served as sheriff in 1807 and was county clerk from about 1800 until 1817. He erected Elizabethtown's first brick house riding ninety miles to Lexington for its wrought nails and later became the first president of the town's independent bank. His clerk's office recorded this bond although a deputy may have prepared the copy. James CrutcherJames Crutcher was a prominent merchant cattle dealer tavern proprietor judge and legislator. Appointed one of Elizabethtown's original trustees in 1796 he built a tavern beside the public square in 1798 and marked it with a sign bearing a lion rampant—the establishment later operated by Daniel Waide. Crutcher also served with Helm and Waide as a Hardin Academy trustee. Six weeks after this bond Daniel and Sarah Bush Johnston conveyed a 730-acre tract to him. Samuel StevensonSamuel Stevenson—also recorded as Stephenson—became the first teacher of Hardin Academy when its schoolhouse opened in 1806. The academy served an Elizabethtown community of only about 300 people emphasizing how prominent its teacher would have been locally. Stevenson subsequently became a tavernkeeper merchant and Kentucky legislator. In 1812 he again acted as a financial guarantor joining John Canady as surety on William Vittitow's $1000 constable's bond. Christopher BushChristopher Bush belonged to the Bush family identified among the early settlers of Severns Valley by 1782. A landowner and Hardin County constable he was remembered by Haycraft as an industrious man with a large family. His daughter Sarah Bush Johnston was then married to Daniel Johnston; in 1819 she married Thomas Lincoln and became Abraham Lincoln's stepmother. Her February 1811 land transaction with James Crutcher directly connects the Bush family with another surety named in the bond. Adam MillerAdam Miller belonged to a pioneer family recorded among the Severns Valley settlers by 1782. He was a son of German-born settler Ernest Miller and a brother of Nicholas and fellow obligor Christopher Miller. According to Haycraft Adam was captured in his youth and remained within an Indigenous community for approximately fourteen years. Unlike his politically prominent brothers he apparently held no major public office and was remembered instead as a quiet respected man and church member. Christopher MillerCaptured by Shawnees as a youth Christopher Miller lived among them for years and became fluent in their languages and customs. His knowledge later made him valuable to General Anthony Wayne as a messenger and scout and in 1796 he accompanied a delegation of Indigenous leaders to Philadelphia. In 1819 the Kentucky legislature petitioned Congress to compensate Miller for this service noting that he was then poor and supporting a large family. He later became a legislator magistrate and Hardin County sheriff. Daniel WaideDaniel Waide was an Elizabethtown innkeeper Hardin Academy trustee and postmaster. He operated the "Sign of the Lion" tavern built by James Crutcher in 1798 and helped develop the property into the later Eagle House. He served on the academy board with Crutcher and Benjamin Helm while postal records identify him as Elizabethtown postmaster beginning January 1 1811 thirteen days before this bond. Waide later entered the Kentucky Senate; tax rolls also record him as an enslaver. SourcesBrown Stephen A. "A Conversation with Abraham Lincoln. " Kentucky Humanities Fall 2013 pp. 6–9.
