1909Best.-Nr. 48065N. P. Denver: Privately printed for The Northwestern Land & Iron Company n. d. ca 1909. 1909. COLORADO. First edition. 8vo. 9" x 8" pictorial sheet folds to 9" x 4" 16 pp. illustrated from photographs map town plat. A scarce and attractively illustrated promotional booklet advertising Milliken Colorado a newly developing railroad town in the agricultural country north of Denver. Issued by the Northwestern Land & Iron Company the 16-page pamphlet promotes Milliken as an ideal location for settlement investment farming and business emphasizing the region's fertile soil irrigation sugar-beet and truck-garden production healthful climate transportation facilities and proximity to the Rocky Mountains. Illustrated with photographs of Milliken and its surrounding agricultural country together with a town plat the booklet provides a remarkable visual record of the community at the moment of its creation. Milliken's development was closely tied to the ambitious Denver Laramie & Northwestern Railway which began service to the town in January 1910 and promoted a series of new communities and agricultural settlements along its projected route. The DL&NW was an ambitious but ultimately unsuccessful railroad venture and its associated land companies promoted new town sites and farming lands along the line in hopes of creating prosperous agricultural communities. The railroad entered receivership in 1912 and ceased operations in 1917. There is a space for postage and an address on the rear wrapper as well as an attached perforated sheet for inquiries about the advertised land. First two pages have a tiny clip to the top corners tiny tear to the fore-edge margin of page 5 else a very good copy of an attractive Colorado land promotional booklet. Privately printed for The Northwestern Land & Iron Company, n. d. (ca 1909). unknown
Best.-Nr. 5718St. Louis: St. Louis Globe-Democrat Job Print; Woodward Tiernan & Hale Map Engr's 1878. Broadsheet with map 20.75" x 6.5" plus margins printed in black and red. Map size 11" x 5". Faded purple stamp of agent Henry H. Hannan. CONDITION: Very good upper-half of right margin rough cut. A scarce and attractive promotional broadsheet with map issued by the St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railway advertising special railway offers to emigrants headed to Texas. This broadsheet announces cheap excursion tickets free baggage up to 200 lbs. and reduced emigrant rates for departures from St. Louis on the Short Line Route which runs through Arkansas into Texas. A table of rates on the verso lists first class and emigrant rates. The Texas Short Line extends from St. Louis Missouri to Galveston and Austin and cuts diagonally across the map with various spurs along the way including intersections the Texas & Pacific R'y and the International & Great Northern R'y. Interested parties seeking assistance information on Texas maps time-tables rates of fare etc. are encouraged to call upon or address the nearest of the railroad's Agents located in Missouri Chicago New York City and Ohio whose names are provided on both recto and verso. The St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railway began selling off land holdings in Arkansas in the mid-1870s and continued to do so into the early twentieth century. OCLC records some twenty maps published by the railroad company promoting land it owned in Arkansas issued during this time period. These lands extended from the northernmost point of the state around Little Rock to the line's southern terminus in Texarkana. The company offered various inducements for settlers deep discounts for putting money down as well as reduced freight should homesteaders wish to transport their belongings via the railway. As demonstrated by the present broadsheet the railroad also capitalized on emigration to Texas. OCLC records only three copies at Yale Princeton and University of Texas at Arlington.
