Did you know that some manufacturers deliberately turn out cheap merchandise to provide discounters with hidden markups and phony high list prices?." (illustrator). 2nd Printing.The big bargain: this is the glittering promise held out by discounters. Each year they persuade millions of American shoppers to join the hunt for fantastic bargains. Famous brand names are advertised at incredibly low figures. Price tags sparkle with neatly crossed-off high prices. This seems proof that conventional retailers make excessive profits, that neighborhood merchants overcharge. But is this true? Have discounters really found a way to slash all prices drastically? In the first expose of discounting, Walter Henry Nelson reveals the gimmicks behind the fabulous facade. For every shopper who comes away with a genuine bargain, many more find they have bought shoddy or overpriced wares. For every item sold at less than list price, many more carry big markups, in some instances ranging higher than 200 percent. Discounters are in business to make money. Their profits are paid for by the consumer. Did you know that the famous brand-name products featured in some discounters' ads are often not obtainable in their stores? Did you know that some discount salesmen collect Language: eng Language: eng Language: eng.

143 pages typed manuscript (unsigned) of a private from New York who rise to the rank of Captain as an Ordnance Officer under Brig. General Alfred B. Quinton. His detailed diary begins with his induction in December 1941 as Private First Class and the problems typical for the new inductees and details his quick rise due to his intelligence and thorough knowledge of ordnance. After his OCS training at Fort Knox. pages 25-31 show the weapons he was to become expert in servicing up to 75 MM's as well as the rigorous training while in the 699th, finally, he speaks of leisure time and dates where he gives names such as Helen B. and others Meanwhile his specialty was Light and 130 Medium Tanks as well as all types of Wheel Vehicles. After being told they would be kept in Louisville, they were nevertheless sent off to England where he describes the homes, the general lack of bomb damage in his area, and the girls. The rule for officers was they could see women in their rooms but they must be gone by 8 AM. As he discusses life in the English countryside outside of Portsmouth, he talks about the Limey sailors who were angry that we were going out with their "mothers, wives, sweethearts and sisters" plus we had money to give the English girls a fancy date though if she liked you she would not go to bed with you until the second date. What he then describes is disgust that they were not prejudiced against Negro soldiers. "Every time I saw a big, black, buck, n------? come walking down the street with a white girl, I saw red." He and Lt. Lowe visited London and went to examine the damage and what remained of V-1's and V-2's. After D-Day he is sent to France where he writes about the open performing of urination in the public while the man is still talking to the woman. Again he notes his hated seeing "the Negro American Soldier [who] was in his glory, for to the French girl sexual intercourse was nothing more than a business." While he apparently was fairly restrained, he notes the openness of most libertine American G.I.'s who became connoisseurs of sexual variations. At Cherbourg he notes the cemetery with the newly white crosses with an occasional star of David. "sacrifice for what? That I will let you answer." He then went to Brussels where he said the girls were even more bold. they had to watch as looters were trying to steal their bags. They often stole US Gasoline and sold it back at 40 cents a gallon (though the normal price should have been 9 cents). It was difficult to use the toilet facilities for privacy since there were women plying their trade in the johns. It finishes with his trip from Germany to Post-War Japan. He has become a Captain under the legendary General Alfred B. Quinton (later to be in the controversial case of the atom spies that he helped identify). A fascinating item with details which give a personal picture of life of a G.I. who was successful though still had the typical prejudices against blacks and was not immune to the charms of at least the nicer females. Many of the names in the manuscript can be identified though we could not determine the given name of Peters.

Folded as mailed, about fine, in worn, good stampless cover bearing the a partial ship postmark, addressed to Miss Kate Ray in Annapolis from "Philip", dated July 45h, 1849 from the ship in Gibraltar. Easily readable with modest effort, Phillip writes to "My dear friend Miss Kate". After railing against a person named Crabb (possibly a rival for Kate's attentions) Philip describes the 21 day passage from Annapolis to Gibraltar, and mentions stopping at the Azores and Tangiers, where "I had the opportunity to go ashore after the American Consul . I was surrounded by thousands of the most heathenish and barbarous looking individuals I ever saw, worse than the natives of the Pacific Islands." He also mentions "I was at Tangier in 1844 when the French bombarded it - the effects of that terrible bombardment are still plainly visible." He urges her to follow his journey on the map. He also gives a modest description of Gibraltar, and also commands her to give various young women kisses on his behalf. Kate (Katherine Hyde Ray 1835-1910) was the daughter of U.S. Navy Surgeon Hyde Ray. She later married merchant Samuel Hurlbut.

Unbound. Zustand: Very Good. Four-page letter (one leaf folded to make four pages) addressed on the overleaf to Sarah Meredith in care of William Meredith, Esq. Undated, we estimate it to be circa 1820. Self-mailer with old folds from mailing, a few words obscured from a combination of the gall in the ink and a few light stains, very good. A charming letter from Cate, in part bemoaning her experience of a recent trip to New York and extolling the virtues and natural beauties of her own home in "Amboy" (presumably Perth Amboy) discussing the birds, the overwhelming bloom of roses, and recounting various visitors from far-flung places. Perth Amboy was home to an important ferry line from New York, and was a central stop on the road between New York and Philadelphia. Of some interest is: "I went to the Deaf and Dumb institution where I got so much interested that I staid almost the whole day, it is wonderful to see how quick they write and talk with their fingers, they are very inquisitive, and among other questions they asked if I was married and had any children, and the wickedness of me passed poor Evelina Warren who was with me for a married woman with two sweet little babies. One of them, a lad about 19 years of age wrote on the slate, that he loved me better than any girl he ever saw." We suspect that Cate is referencing a school for the deaf and dumb in New York, as while New Jersey had allocated money for the education of the deaf and dumb in 1821, that money was used to pay tuition in either New York or Pennsylvania, with New Jersey not having a physical location for such an institution until the 1880s. Our research seems to indicate that the recipient was likely the sister of William M. Meredith, a Philadelphia attorney who served under Zachary Taylor as Secretary of the Treasury. A pleasant and amusing letter from a young lady, extolling her home in Amboy.

Unbound. Zustand: Near Fine. Two Autograph Letters Signed ("Sarah") to Mary Ann, each sent from San Francisco, dated June 18, 1856 (just a week after the City and County of San Francisco were officially incorporated) and June 10th [likely, from content, 1857]. The first letter is written on three pages of a folio; the second is four pages using all four sides of the folio. Folds from mailing, a little soiling and foxing mostly confined to the folds of the second letter, else overall near fine. Sarah, a young wife and new mother, writes to a close friend or relative back east. In the first letter she announces: "Had you heard of the advent of my baby? She is as fat and playful for a baby only three months old, as you will find anywhere; and indeed the California children are all remarkably fine children. It is attributed generally to the climate. I shall send a daguerreotype soon." She goes on to mention a state of unrest in the city: ". preparations have been made for war, cannon have been placed in our streets, men go constantly armed, in fact all the citizens have turned soldiers. and hold themselves in readiness for any sound that shall summon them to the scenes of battle and bloodshed." This state of affairs was caused by public outrage of political corruption in the city, precipitated by a duel in which James P. Casey shot and killed a political enemy and opposition newspaper editor, James King. King had been infuriated by Casey's appointment to the city board of supervisors purportedly as the result of a rigged election. The state of affairs existed through the Summer of 1856 when government of the city was transferred to a new government. By the time of the second letter, Sarah had sent the daguerreotype, although the baby had been sickly. She had grown less fond of California and expresses interest in returning home east, despite the "dangers I must encounter before my native country is reached." Some hope is offered as "We are enjoying a season of religious interest, it should be considered a bright spot in California history, for it is a wicked place." she also queries Mary Ann about her recent vacation trip to the South: "What opinion did you form of the people, slavery and other things peculiar to that country[?] You have had the opportunity of forming your own ideas on THE question, which we only can from report, and these probably are so exaggerated that we cannot exercise any charity for them." Although Sarah isn't further identified, there exist other clues that might shed light on it. She and her husband seem close or perhaps related to a Dr. Hardy with an extensive practice in San Francisco, and another friend from home is mentioned by her full name. Think of it as a challenge.

Unbound. Zustand: Near Fine. Four page Autograph Letter Signed ("Rebecca") from St. Louis, Missouri to her sister Mrs. Eliza Doughty in New Providence, New Jersey. One leaf folded to make four pages. Small tears at the mailing folds, else near fine with original mailing envelope. Small handbill (3.5" x 8.75") is near fine with old folds. The letter addressed to her sister mentions her problems with getting her house built, of not being able to buy silk because "the article costs too much these days of war-taxes." She mentions wealthy friends who lost their entire wardrobe: "Mrs. Cheever the friend I mentioned has just lost all her nice clothes, her daughter had been very sick and a journey to a warm climate was recommended and the family. took passage on the 'Ruth' one of the finest steamers on the Mississippi, for N. Orleans. when near Vicksburg, the boat took fire, they had barely time to run ashore, all escaped but not a thing was saved, Mrs. C tells me they value their trunk of clothing at 3000 but that sum could not replace the loss." She mentions making "mush bread," because none of the local varieties of bread are "quite so good as the old fashioned Jersey kind." Aside from this Rebecca discusses family matters. Accompanied by a handbill for the Radical Reform Party, with this penciled note written around the printed matter: "Ezra handed me this yesterday morning supposed I would 'want to go to the polls', - well I may vote yet before I die - certainly should were I allowed to. The cheering news we have this morning that the entire ticket is elected, thank God for a Christian Mayor - one of our best men in a city like this. Tis very important under past rule no respect has been paid to the Sabbath." The Mayor in question, Nathan Cole, served from 1869-1871. A telling note from a woman wistful that she doesn't have the vote.

Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. Handwritten letter book consisting of retained copies of letters written by Captain Wilson during four decades of his life, much of it in Ireland and Canada between 1809 and 1845. Measuring 10" x 8". 74pp. Approximately 29,000 handwritten words. Paper covers with string binding. Covers and internal book pages have small chips and age-toning, spine is detached from the cover thus very good. A letter book detailing the life of a Captain Wilson between 1809 and 1845. The book of handwritten copies beginning with his time in command at Carlisle Fort in Ireland. Wilson is often preoccupied with clerical and menial tasks, settling disputes and sending reports, until he is transferred to Bandon in May of 1810. Wilson moves frequently, spending less than six months to a year in each new post. Bantry, Bath, Hereford, Weymouth, Spain, Winchester, Paris, St. Vast, London, and other places before settling in Plymouth in 1820, before moving once again. Wilson writes about the negligence in the camps where he is stationed, often citing disrepair, grime, and alcoholism in the barracks. He also writes about his shares in the Gas Light Company and the Coke Company. Wilson's constant movement is due in part to his need for money. He frequently writes about his financial problems and with each move is hopeful to advance in the ranks and receive commensurate pay. He finally writes in 1818 about his desire to retire from the service and accepts half pay to avoid going back to Ireland with his regiment. Wilson's retirement was prompted by his weariness from his long service as well as the discouraging conditions that he witnessed. He writes about the soldiers turning to alcoholism, family members dying, his inability to help a young woman and her daughter repatriate to Ireland, and the rape of a five-year-old boy. He also devotes a full letter to his dismay when his copy of Lord Byron's poems is found missing from his room. Letters from 1828 and after largely discuss the transfer of his shares in Gas Light Company and the Coke Company into a wine business, with a brief word of worry about the cholera outbreak in France; his son is deaf and dumb and the asylum may close (ominously the son is not mentioned again). Later in 1841 he and his family move to Canada, and aside from some difficulty in receiving money for his commission, he quickly adapts to his new life with the last few letters focused on barrels of flour, orders of pork, and a recently purchased pianoforte. An intriguing and voluminous collection of letters detailing a military officer's daily life, service, and travels, and his struggles to maintain his family. We suspect that further inquiry could very likely uncover more information about Captain Wilson.
