Holy War Commemoration Photo Album: Isa's Forces Fukaya's Forces Text in Japanese

1939réf. 46634Shanghai: Nishimura Company 1939. Edition not stated. Quarto 26.5cm; black simulated leather stamped in red and gilt in brown paper slipcover; unpaginated photo-illustrated plates w/ rice paper overlays. Wear minor scuffs and soiling to boards; toning and foxing intermittent throughout text especially on overlays; some overlays creased or torn. Slipcover worn and chapped with abrasions and two large one repaired tears across front panel. Photo-illustrated pastedowns and endpapers. Very Good in Good slipcover. All text in Japanese with some obsolete/antiquated kana/kanji oriented right to left. This is a privately-issued commemorative yearbook-type photo album shashin-cho published on behalf of the Imperial Japanese Army medical forces during the Second Sino-Japanese War 1937-1945. Specifically it was produced for those who served under military physician captains/commanding officers Nobuo Isa and Tetsuo Fukaya who were stationed in or near Shanghai at the time. By July 1939 the Imperial Japanese Army was beginning to feel the impact of its own mounting casualties and costs; the Chinese Red Army would launch a major offensive later that November. While the Japanese occupation of Shanghai was notably brutal there is little evidence of violence in this album. However some photographs do depict the aftermath of battle with ruined buildings and soldiers being treated for injuries. Other subjects are mundane in nature: Staff and group portraits hospitals and other facilities physicians at work company events and ceremonies. Also includes photographs of Shanghai and a fold-out map of the Hangzhou Bay area. Apparently not cataloged in OCLC or available commercially as of November 2019. Nishimura Company unknown

This stupendous factory photo album offers an essential photographic record of the vital role of road building emerging from the Good Roads Movement during the opening decades of the 20th century into the New Deal projects driven by the Roosevelt administration during the Great Depression and aspirations of creating and improving a massive Interstate Highway system. At the end of the 19th century less than 50% of roads within American cities had been paved and the very few highways and turnpikes connecting cities and towns were little more than crushed rock macadam dirt roads or even paths. By the early 1930’s there were many highways but most were in rudimentary condition forced through bottlenecks in every town along the route and all required significant upgrade to strengthen the cement and asphalt add rebar within the underlying roadbeds and special demand for the finisher machines produced by the Jaeger Machine Co. in Columbus and subsidiary Lakewood Machine Co. in Cleveland. Jaeger Machine Co. was originally founded in 1906 by Gehard Jaeger 1874-1959 and specialized in cement mixers roadbuilding equipment and later specialized concrete and cement finisher equipment for roads and airports. The 282 in-house photographs document not only the variety of cement finishers and road forms developed by Jaeger and Jaeger-Lakewood during the 1930’s into World War II but also capture street scenes road crews along with the growing demands in the West especially California. Projects such as road paving for the Bay Bridge project between San Francisco and Oakland CA by the Bates & Rogers Construction Co. of Chicago IL depict them working with Type D Jaeger-Lakewood Finishers the Type D Vibratory Machine and others laying and finishing the road deck from 1935-1937; several photos of the Type D Finisher used by the Pacific Bridge Co. on the Golden Gate Bridge road deck job from 1935-1937 featuring for both photos of the equipment as well as operating on the bridges. Also included are photos of Jaeger Finisher’s laying foundations of the Metropolitan Acqueduct Conduit in the desert East of Los Angeles CA in Mecca Riverside County operated by the Thompson-Starrett Co. firm. In addition there are photos of finishing the bottom concrete conduit for the aqueduct near San Jacinto CA by the Griffith Co. of Los Angeles in 1935. Road construction photos of the Type D Type C and later Type H finishers include those in Fort Knox KY near the Battalion Barracks in 1934; street scenes in and around Columbus OH showing roadbuilding and homes and street scenes in the background 1934-1935; road construction near Portland OR in Feb. 1935; F.P. McElwarath contracting building roads through Rockdale TX in 1934; as well as R.G. Curtis working with Type D Finisher for highway 10 miles east of Long Angles in 1936 along with photos of a Type D Finisher building roads through Minneapolis MN in Sept. 1936. Additional photos depict the Type D operating with new vibratory tube introduced in 1939 Type H Finisher working from 1940-1942 including the construction of airfields at the Muroc Bombing Airbase in Southern California in 1941-1942 now Edwards Air Force Base with the base’s main 15000-foot runway completed by December 1941 in a single pour of concrete using Jaeger finisher’s and roadbuilding equipment. The majority of the photographs are either marked with the T.H. Wolfram photographer’s imprint who appears to have been the major in-house photographer for Jaeger Machine Co. & Lakewood Engineering Co. through the 1930’s and early 1940’s. Theodore Henry Wolfram 1868-1960 began his career as a German-American chemist and photographer before the end of the 19th-Century in Columbus and would work as commercial studio through World War II. Arthur M. Prentiss 1864-1941 worked with Benjamin Gifford 1859-1936 George Weister Company and then Kiser Photo Co. until 1922 when Prentiss became a single professional photographer after acquiring Weister’s Studio and negatives. He specialized in views of the Columbia River Highway. Orville Logan Snider was a noted Southern California photographer best known for his many scenic night shots in and around Los Angeles and Hollywood as well as his movie studio photography from the 2920’s through 1950’s. Although the occasional product catalogues are held by Ohio Historical Assoc. libraries a few institutions including the Smithsonian as well as archival material held by the Columbus Metropolitan Library this cataloguer could locate no similar albums or small collections and/or archives of factory photos for Jaeger or Lakewood Engineering.

These colossal and striking factory sample catalogues for cigar box labels wonderfully display a chromolithographic advertising archive by one of the largest commercial printing firms in the United States from the Great Depression until the Kennedy Administration. Jacob A. Voice formed the Consolidated Lithographing Corporation around 1925 by merging Wm. Steiner & Sons Lithographers the label producing division of American Lithographic Co. in 1929 as well as two other companies. So by 1935 Voice’s company was printing 6500 different labels for over 4000 million cigars. From the 1880s until the 1950s cigar manufacturers were one of the most competitive and lucrative industries in the United States and they employed raised lettering embossing and chromolithography of exceptional quality using printing processes which remained largely unchanged until the mid-20th century when photo-mechanical colour printing largely replaced traditional lithography. These samples provide incredible visual historical records of the cigar-box labels appearing on the ends top and sides of boxes serving as vital advertising display material in cigar stores and with the inner beautifully printed labels on the inside of the lid drawing the attention of the customers. In addition these provide an invaluable cultural archive of the influence of cigars produced from Cuban Puerto Rican and Floridan tobaccos in the 20th century. Over 150 different cigar company labels are preserved in varying states some with special holiday labels others with different colour schemes for varying markets and many over decades showing the changing tastes of the consumer and the advertising art. Included are such companies as Alcazar Judge Wright Ardova Phillies Stetson Wabon Faustino Rubens La Magnitaz Treaty Bond especially striking with images of Napoleon & Jefferson Famous Players White Owl Juan de Fuca White Heather Hauptmann’s National Speaker -- Joe Cannon Havana Ribbon Villa Reina Jockeys Benson & Hedges El Macco La Palina Paramount Admiration -- E.

In addition there are product labels included for White Rock Orange Soda Ginger Ale Cola Root Beer Yuban Coffee Prest-of-Flex watch bracelets Champion Prest-o-Slide Buckles Flagstaff Jellys & Preserves Rubinstein & Revlon Cosmetics and much more. Consolidated also served as the colour printers for many of the Doubleday Books published in the 1950s including McCracken Hoofs Claws & Antlers; McCracken Charles Russell; Dare Wright Lonely Doll; Palazzo Don Quixote and many others. The beautifully printed Christmas wraps for cigar companies liquor companies such as Seagrams as well as Rubinstein Avon and Revlon are striking with colour embossing and gold work. The large Seagrams Christmas advertising Banner for 1954 at over 5 feet tall is visually impressive and offers a superb example of mid-Century advertising artwork and printing by Consolidated. The numerous memos blue-lines and proof sheets inserted throughout offer a historical record of how these labels wraps posters and books were produced at the time.

Women's Factory LaborBiblio.com

Postwar Women's Factory Labor and Apparel Production Photo Archive circa 1950s

1950réf. 233261950. Garment factory photographs documenting women's industrial sewing labor machine based apparel production and managerial oversight in the postwar United States circa 1950s with direct evidence of how mass clothing manufacture depended on large sewing rooms specialized equipment and gendered factory work. Archive documents the production floor as a working system rather than a single portrait scene placing rows of women at Pfaff machines beside piles of cut or partly finished garments while a separate executive portrait and staged equipment views link shop floor labor to administration and industrial sales culture. The group matters because postwar clothing production relied heavily on women's wage labor in factories where speed repetition and machine specialization turned fabric into standardized output for a growing consumer economy. Photo archive of 5 Large silver gelatin photographs each 8" x 10" circa 1950s. Two photographs show the main sewing room from wider angles with long rows of women seated at machine stations beneath suspended electric lines and task lighting while large heaps of striped fabric or finished garments spill across tables and benches in the foreground. The workers are positioned close together in a dense production space organized around straight runs of tables and sewing heads with little separation between labor stations and material flow. One photograph isolates a woman operating a large Pfaff industrial unit in a cleaner demonstration setting while another gives a close technical view of a Pfaff machine head and work plate. A fifth photograph shows an older male executive or manager seated in an office. Postwar apparel production expanded through factories that combined assembly line logic with skilled but repetitive needlework and women formed a large share of that labor force in garment plants across the United States. The Pfaff machines represent the technological side of production while the sewing room views show the human structure that made the machines profitable with women handling fabric continuously at closely arranged stations under managerial control. Light handling wear and minor curling to edges. Overall very good condition. The archive preserves the relationship between labor machinery and output at a moment when industrial clothing manufacture still depended on concentrated factory work before later shifts toward overseas production transformed the industry. unknown

WWII Era Women's Employment at a Dictaphone Factory in Bridgeport Connecticut 1940s

1940réf. 233241940. Dictaphone Corporation factory photographs documenting women and men manufacturing dictating machines in Bridgeport Connecticut circa 1940s showcasing the postwar expansion of women's employment inside a growing communications technology industry. The group centers on Dictaphone's Bridgeport plant at 335 Howard Avenue where workers appear at long rows of benches with recording and transcription equipment tool drawers lamps wiring and partly assembled machines placing this archive within the larger World War II and postwar reorganization of American factory labor. Several photographs give women a central place within that system not as incidental figures but as seated operators bench workers and posed employees inside the production rooms themselves grounding the archive in the history of women's industrial employment as office technology manufacturing expanded beyond clerical use into large scale commercial production. Archive of 21 pieces including 20 black and white and one red photographs ranging from 2" x 2" to 5" x 7" and original envelope. Bridgeport Connecticut circa 1940s. One original company envelope is printed "DICTAPHONE CORPORATION / 335 HOWARD AVENUE / BRIDGEPORT CONN." fixing the factory location. Interior views show crowded production rooms under fluorescent strip lighting with dozens of workers seated at benches operating or assembling dictating machines and related components; in the largest image male workers fill a deep factory floor while several men in the foreground lean into handsets or testing devices at stations packed with equipment. One view shows a male worker alone at a bench in a long machine lined room with belts tools and suspended mechanisms overhead; several smaller prints show women seated at desks or worktables women and men posed together on the shop floor and mixed groups of workers assembled outdoors or around demonstration tables with supervisors and visiting men in suits. The images repeatedly emphasize rows of benches machine bodies cords lamps and standardized work positions while the envelope and repeated factory interiors tie the lot to Dictaphone's manufacturing operation rather than to sales or office promotion alone. During World War II and the immediate postwar years firms producing office equipment occupied an important place in the broader American communications and business machine economy supplying devices that organized dictation transcription record keeping and administrative workflow for corporations law offices and government users. This archive makes that industrial system visible at the level of labor showing how the growth of business technology relied on factory discipline gendered employment patterns and the integration of women into production space during a period when wartime labor demand altered who worked at the bench and who appeared in the industrial workforce. Light edge wear envelope toned. Overall very good condition. A concentrated visual record of 1940s office machine manufacturing placing women's industrial labor inside the production history of one of the leading American dictation companies. unknown

Industrial Automation and Precision Machining Systems: Sundstrand Factory Floor Photographs 1960s

1960réf. 233821960. Industrial factory photograph archive documenting large scale machining systems automated tooling equipment and precision manufacturing processes during the height of postwar American industrial expansion circa 1960s. Several scenes feature Sundstrand branded machinery associated with the Sundstrand Corporation a major Rockford Illinois manufacturer of machine tools aerospace components and industrial automation systems during the Cold War industrial economy. By the 1960s American factories increasingly relied on massive numerically controlled machining equipment capable of producing aircraft parts turbine components and heavy industrial hardware with levels of precision unattainable in earlier manually operated machine shops. These photographs record the physical scale of that transition capturing the integration of computerized or semi automated production systems into factory environments that formed the backbone of aerospace defense transportation and heavy manufacturing industries during the period. Photo archive of 9 Large Silver Gelatin photographs each 8" x 10" circa 1960s. Interior factory scenes show enormous industrial machining centers occupying tiled production floors beneath overhead lighting and exposed structural systems. Multiple photographs depict large circular indexing tables rotary cutting assemblies suspended tooling heads and enclosed control units bearing visible "Sundstrand" identification. Engineers and machinists wearing shop coats and protective glasses appear adjusting tooling mechanisms calibrating machine components and servicing cutting assemblies surrounded by heavy cables hydraulic systems and banks of industrial controls. Several machines are shown actively engaged in metal cutting operations with curled metal shavings accumulating beneath rotating tooling heads and across surrounding platforms. One scene captures technicians removing or fitting a large machined component beneath a circular cutting apparatus while another documents reel based electronic control equipment integrated into the production system reflecting the growing use of automated process control in industrial manufacturing during the decade. The 1960s marked a decisive transformation in American manufacturing as industries shifted from conventional machining toward automated and numerically controlled production methods capable of supporting aerospace engineering military procurement automotive manufacturing and mass industrial output. Companies such as Sundstrand played a central role in supplying the specialized tooling and machine systems that allowed factories to machine increasingly complex metal components at industrial scale. Some curling scattered edge and surface wear as well as foxing to margins; images remain sharp with strong detail. Overall in good condition. The photographs preserve direct visual evidence of the machinery labor practices and production environments that defined late midcentury industrialization before many such facilities were modernized outsourced or dismantled during later waves of deindustrialization. unknown

Factory Safety Program Archive Over 100 items Documenting Industrial Nursing and Accident Prevention at Marathon Paper Mills Menasha Wisconsin 1940s-1960s

1940réf. 233861940. Marathon Paper Mills and later American Can Company industrial safety archive documenting workplace medicine accident prevention campaigns first-aid training and factory safety administration in Menasha Wisconsin from the 1940s-60s. The album records how Midwestern paper and graphic arts manufacturers attempted to reduce industrial injuries during a period when paper mills and printing plants remained physically hazardous workplaces filled with heavy rollers cutting machinery chemical exposure steam systems and high-speed industrial presses. During the postwar decades American manufacturers increasingly institutionalized safety committees plant nursing departments and employee first-aid instruction in response to rising workers' compensation costs union pressure and national workplace safety campaigns promoted by organizations such as the National Safety Council. Marathon Paper Mills was acquired by American Can Company in 1957 placing the Menasha Graphic Arts plant within one of the nation's largest packaging and industrial printing corporations. Photo and scrapbook archive of over 100 pieces with approximately 75 black-and-white photographs including twelve 8 x 10 inch prints with typed programs corporate memoranda newspaper clippings conference photographs official correspondence and safety-related ephemera Menasha Wisconsin 1940-1969. Group portraits identify attendees at the Fox River Valley and Lakeshore Safety Conferences of 1940 1941 and 1942. Numerous mounted photographs depict factory nurses treating workers administering oxygen equipment conducting examinations teaching first-aid procedures inspecting washrooms and sanitary facilities and leading emergency-response instruction for plant employees. Workers stand beside industrial presses and mechanical equipment while captions stress housekeeping sanitation accident reporting and machine safety. Several pages preserve newspaper coverage celebrating "one million safe man hours" and "three consecutive years of safe working without a disabling injury" alongside a 1969 letter signed by Wisconsin Governor Warren P. Knowles congratulating the American Can Graphic Arts Plant on its safety record. A 1953 letter from the National Safety Council thanks Marathon Corporation for photographs displayed at the Industrial Nursing Section exhibit during the National Safety Congress in Chicago directly tying the album to nationally circulated industrial safety programming. The album preserves a narrower glimpse into ground level industrial plants with the emergence of workplace medicine and safety management as formal corporate systems. The main photographs focus on the Marathon First Aid Department where nurses supervisors and workers collaborated in organized training programs intended to reduce accidents and standardize emergency response inside hazardous production environments. Captions repeatedly emphasize sanitation inspections accident prevention emergency transport and employee instruction demonstrating how industrial safety became both a managerial program and a public relations tool during the postwar era. Photographs mounted with corner tabs throughout; scrapbook pages retain mounted newspaper clippings letters and typed documentation; light toning occasional adhesive discoloration and minor edge wear present. Overall in very good condition. unknown

The women are seated in long rows and armed with sewing machines and seem to be turning bundles of cloth into garments. Spools of thread hang down from a center rail in the middle of the table to be fed into the sewing machines. Some of the cloth appears to be polka-dotted similar to the dresses that several women pictured appear to be wearing. The factory is consisted almost entirely of women - there is one man in a waistcoat walking around accompanied by an older woman. The working women seem to be of varying ages from their early 20s into their 50s. Textile manufacturing was unique at the time for its overwhelmingly female labor force. Sepia toned very good condition with great detail. unknown
