1900réf. 60562Buffalo NY: Kellogg Iron Works ca. 1900. Oblong 8vo. 9.5 x 6 in. 16 pp unpaginated. printed photo plate followed by plates of elevations and bridge plans. Original gray printed softcovers black lettering front cover minor corner chip to first page couple closed tears w/ minor repairs dustsoiling to fore-edges still a VG- copy. First edition of this exceedingly scarce catalogue of touting “Kellogg”truss bridges which consisted of Pratt inner bracing with additional diagonals and were popular in the Northeast at the end of the 1800’s until about 1901-1905 spanning between 75 to 150 feet. These types of bridges played a crucial role in road building driven by the Good Roads Movement during the opening decades of the 20th century. At the end of the 19th century less than 50% of roads within American cities were paved and the very few highways and turnpikes connecting cities and towns were little more than crushed rock macadam dirt roads or even paths. Although founded in the 1880s by bicycling enthusiasts the Good Roads Movement at the beginning of the 20th century began to be driven largely by advocates of the automobile who favored sturdy durable bridges which could be easily maintained. These Kellogg truss bridges featured riveted steel trusses and were often anchored in stone foundations. Charles H. Kellogg the elder was an active bridge engineer and builder whose firm wen through several different configurations and owners between 1870-1915 while his son Charles H. Kellogg the younger operated his own company from 1891-1901 and should not be confused with the short-lived Kellogg Iron Bridge Works Co. which was using the Union Bridge Company’s shop.

1918réf. 62523Peoria IL: Avery Company Manufacturers 1918. 4to. 24 pp unpaginated. printed in red gray & black throughout. Photo text illustrations throughout decorative borders illustrations. Self-printed colour-illustrated softcovers cover art of Avery road tractors and scrapers front & back minor edgewear creasing minor wear & dustsoiling w/ tiny closed tears at spine still VG- copy. First edition of this uncommon catalogue of equipment which played a crucial role in road building driven by the Good Roads Movement during the opening decades of the 20th century. At the end of the 19th century less than 50% of roads within American cities were paved and the very few highways and turnpikes connecting cities and towns were little more than crushed rock macadam dirt roads or even paths. Sidewalks were nearly unknown and unlike Europe road construction was not primarily managed by national or local governments. Although founded in the 1880s by bicycling enthusiasts the Good Roads Movement at the beginning of the 20th century began to be driven largely by advocates of the automobile. This catalogue illustrates Avery road tractors graders scarifiers blades drag scrapers and more building roads in Texas Oklahoma Idaho Nebraska Kansas Indiana and more. The Avery company was founded initially in Galesburg IL following the Civil War by Robert and John Avery with Robert as the ever-intrepid inventor and machinist one of whose earliest inventions was the riding cultivator. By 1883 and teamed up with his brother Cyrus the company proved successful and after 1892 became well-known for their internal combustion engine equipment. By 1920 the company led by Bartholomew employed 4000 people and pioneered motor cultivators and road-building equipment but was hit by the post-World War I depression about the time this catalogue was issued and although the company attempted to reorganize and laid off 90% of its workforce it failed by 1923 and was renamed the Avery Power Machinery Co. The company limped through the Great Depression and closed finally in World War II. No copies in Worldcat; See: Mowitz The Once-Great Tractor Innovator Lost to Time Successful Farming Nov. 20 2024.

1913réf. 53568Hornell NY & Low Moor VA: Homer A. Sitterley Asst. City Engineer for Hornell NY; Chief Mining Engineer Low Moor Iron Co. 1913-1917. Oblong 8vo. 10 x 7 in. 142 pp unpaginated. thick black paper stock w/ 298 original photographs sized from 2 x 3 in. up to 3.25 x 5.5 inches 280 this size 2 of them cyanotype and the majority with neat white ink manuscript descriptions linen-backed frontisp. map of Hornell NY dated 1915. Contemporary limp black-cloth post-binder sewn at gutter margin w/ black silk braid minor soiling tidemark to outer fore-edges of front cover first couple leaves minor fraying & wear to corners still a VG- exemplar w/ most images with strong contrast. This remarkable album documents the tremendous range of road building projects sewer improvements bridge building and dam construction in and around Hornell NY in Steuben County in the years before World War I. Steuben County was the next to the last County in New York State to join the Good Roads Board sponsored by the American Automobile Association in 1907 primarily because during the opening decades of the 20th century that area of New York had some of the worst roads. These images show the construction and building of sewer lines on Crosby Street Canister Street paving projects on East Ave. Jane Street West Street -- with fantastic images of early Foote Concrete Machinery Co. road paver in operation pouring concrete West Genesee Street Church Street and others. Sitterley b. 1889 makes a study of the filtering systems and sewer plant for New York City at the time includes photo of the newly opened Hornell trolley “Subway” as well as numerous photos of poor condition sidewalks which were slated for modernization as an adjunct of the Good Roads agenda hand-in-hand with laying of new sewer lines. In addition he has included photo of himself with surveyor’s transom and the Hornell City Engineer together with the City Park Superintendent. A significant portion of the album is devoted to the building of the Seneca Street Bridge including the building of the coffer dams to hold back the water to pour the piers the construction of the abutments and finally the finished bridge. That bridge would later be rebuilt by a WPA project in 1936 and now is up for replacement again. Sitterley’s last major projects were overseeing the building of the new Hornell city dams and city reservoirs together with road improvements gate houses and spillways. In March 1916 he leaves Hornell NY to become Chief Mining Engineer for the Low Moor Iron Co. which was a producer of pig iron in Alleghany County of Western Virginia which operated from 1872-1930. The company was often plagued with labor unrest as they maintained very poor “Company” towns and were constantly struggling with the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad to ship their ore. In 1916 they were on the upswing as a company as the growing steel demands of World War I began to lift all ore producers at the time.
