Institutionally common scarce in trade. This is the original edition NOT a print-on-demand book.Philadelphia-born Hiram Sellers Kneedler 1859/60–1941 was a Newspaper editor and publisher who owned various newspapers in Iowa including the The Times in Cherokee and The Boone Republican and who wrote several travel books for the railroads. In 1913 he uprooted his family and drove them all in his 1913 Studebaker to California where he stayed for about 10 years doing various jobs including working on newspapers and becoming Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce for San Bernardino California. He then returned to Eldora Iowa and brought The Ledger. At some point he moved back to California and he died in Los Angeles in 1941.At the time Kneedler wrote this very little was known of this coastal area. It had been sparsely populated and its development stunted by the continuing unrest in Mexico. It was only after Texas came into the United States that serious efforts were made to populate this part of the country and extol its many advantages. [San Francisco:: The Railroad] A. H.

It must not be circulated outside of our Organization. Contributions desired for publication should each San Francisco Office not later than Thursday of each week. If you benefit by reading the articles of others in the coaster you should reciprocate by letting us have some of your own ideas.The text is a mixture of social news: happenings in the various branches; retirements; encouraging rhetoric and express business instructions on the placement of cards some are returned to the client after the agree and instructions for ordering supplies.The first issue of this volume contains two pages outlining the United States eminence in many fields. With only 6% of the world’s population and 7% of the land the United States produced in 1920: 25% of the agricultural supplies; 40%of the mineral products; 34% of the manufactured goods.Earl Vincent Burke 1885–1963 was a graduate of UC Berkeley and is listed in the 1930 census as “Business Manager Advertising”.
