1961réf. 019792No Place: No Publisher 1961. Unbound. Good. John F. Kennedy Inaugural Ball Account in Letter. Two pages printed on single sides only. Thin yellow paper presumably a copy of the original produced at the same time as the original as the previous owner seemingly kept copies of all correspondence. From an executive of a very large international insurance firm name of owner and firm withheld for privacy. The previous owner saved these items for an apparent planned scrapbook mounting most on paper with either glue or staples. The owner was a highly placed executive in an insurance company and travelled throughout the world extensively. They were active in politics through donations and fundraising and it appears their family was friendly with the Roosevelts especially Eleanor Roosevelt. The previous owner's work for the insurance company led them to meet with various heads of state worldwide including US government officials. Some of the people associated with this firm were also involved in World War II activities including financing the Flying Tigers in China as well as work for the OSS using knowledge gained from insurance work. While we have not found any direct connection to intelligence work by this owner their ties to those who did are strong. NB: we are starting the process of cataloguing four boxes of material from this individual both personal and business correspondence. More information on the collection available on request. Previous owner is the same as the above item. This letter dated January 24 1961 details their arrival back in New York to who is presumed to be their spouse. After a few paragraphs about family matters the letter describes the owner's efforts to an inauguration event at the Statler Hotel/National Armory that was made extremely difficult by a bad snowstorm. Mentioned are performers such as Frank Sinatra Harry Belafonte Nat King Cole and others. The author then mentions attending one of five inaugural balls stating it was much like the Eisenhower Inaugural Ball but more crowded. Apparently Jackie Kennedy was too tired at this point to attend but JFK was "full of fire." The letter goes on with details about guests/friends and other personal matters. GOOD condition. Two binding holes punched at the top edge. Minor wrinkling. Pencil initials at the top of the first page. No Publisher unknown
réf. 020423St. Louis MO: Paramount Progressive Order of Moose Publisher. Unbound. Good. no date perhaps circa 1922. Single sheet 6 by 4 inches. Small piece that looks like it was to have been folded into a 4 page booklet although this is unfolded. A promotional piece issued by the Paramount Progressive Order of Moose an African American fraternal organization very similar to the Loyal Order of Moose. The Loyal Order of Moose did not allow African Americans into their organization so this and other similar organizations were founded to serve the needs of African Americans. The Paramount Progressive Order of Moose appears to have ceased operations by the early 1930s perhaps partly due to lawsuits it faced from the Loyal Order of Moose for its use of their imagery. This piece discusses mentions the building of a tabernacle for parentless children as well as the Moose's goals of feeding and educating the children. With a list of dues. GOOD condition. Minor fading staining and creasing. Paramount Progressive Order of Moose, Publisher unknown
