Item description from seller

Octavo, 190pp., illustrated. A fragile volume, bound in cloth boards with a thin backstrip. Very good, with very thin cracks to the inner hinges, but a sound, clean example, with just a few stray pencil markings. A curious text, whose main contents consist of various recent census data for towns of over 500 inhabitants, along with charts and graphs for various population or other statistics, including interest rates, and the like. There are also lists of notable businesses in many small towns all over the eastern Midwest (Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky), alongside examples of business forms and descriptions of various industrial sectors. On almost every page are multiple advertisements for businesses of all kinds, many of which include engraved illustrations. The businesses are geographically concentrated in the Cleveland area, though there are plenty for other cities and towns in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and elsewhere. OCLC records at least a dozen physical holdings, but we found none in commerce as of this listing, and none in auction records. A scarce and very interesting volume of midwest Americana. This Cincinnati imprint curiously not referenced in Sutton.…

Store description

As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.…
