The book is held out as "your assistant salesman," with every page a selling help. It includes new stock designs, attractive illustrations of every item, price information, easy reference, and tables of general information. There are windows, doors, porches, staircases, colonnades, mantels, and much more. Each reference section includes a charming full color illustration of a woman in an interior that showcases that category. Bound in original blue cloth binding with white design and title to cover. "Curtis" is in large letters on spine but has mostly faded. Bumped, rubbed, but in very good condition. Last couple of pages have pulled away from text block, otherwise very tight and clean. Interesting both as a business and a cultural reference. 383 pages. ARCH/091312. Very Good.

New York: The New Yorker, 1927. Hard Cover. First Edition. A fascinating publication issued by The New Yorker two years after it began to promote its advertisers and to demonstrate how these advertisers successfully used the magazine to showcase their products. The ads chosen are full of personality and display a modern sensibility. Comments on each ad are provided by a "qualified critic" not affiliated with the magazine, which point out both its merits and defects. There are advertisements for cars, clothes, furs, jewels, shoes, stores, and much more. Many were illustrated by well known artists of the day, including Rockwell Kent and W. Heath Robinson. Small folio in paper boards with amusing color illustration of Mikados and the quote "our object all sublime we shall achieve in time, to let the punishment fit the crime" from "The Mikado." Rear cover is gilt. Covers are soiled and rubbed. Interior is in very good condition. The cover, title page and verso are stamped "Cleveland McDonald" for reasons unknown. Unpaginated. ART/092512. Very Good.
