Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. [AGRICULTURE] [TRACTORS] [IMPLEMENTS] Barton W. Currie. The Tractor and Its Influence Upon the Agricultural Implement Industry (Philadelphia: The Curtis Publishing Company, 1916). This was a reprint of a series of articles which appeared in The Country Gentleman of which the author was on the editorial staff. Bookplate on inside front cover states that "This Book is Presented to Mr. J. D. Fanders with the Compliments of The Country Gentleman". The Curtis Publishing Company published The Country Gentleman. Paper covered boards; frontis; viii, 228 pp; measures approximately 5.25 x 7.5 inches. Some loss at cover corners; acidity of bookplate has left its outline on the opposite free flyleaf; o/w in VG+ condition. [24-553] The Foreword states in part that "The Country Gentleman is peculiarly the publication of the business farmer. It is national, it is weekly, it covers the entire country. It touches on all crops and all agricultural topics, and always from the point of view of the man who farms to get back out of the land more than he puts into it. Within the past year there have been two developments which have made it more important than ever that all the facts about this implement industry be brought together and given thorough consideration. One is the rapid development of the farm tractor, which is having considerable effect upon methods of manufacturing and selling all implements. The other is the increased agitation for shorter retail credits, a reform which would have far-reaching effect upon the retail dealer and the service which he renders to the farmer. It has been the purpose of The Country Gentleman to treat these vital topics in such way as to assist toward a wider and more economical distribution of farm machinery." Very interesting review of the early years of farm tractors and the emergence of the "horseless farm". In 1916, tractorless farms far surpassed the number of horseless farms in America, but as the last chapter suggests, one could already "begin to get a magnificent view of the future possibilities of applied mechanical power on the farm.".…

hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Publication: London, Stanley Paul & Co., 1912 Formatting: 8vo, pp. [vi], 308. Condition Report: Good. The binding remains sound, though the olive green cloth boards exhibit standard age-related wear, including rubbing to the extremities, minor bumping to the corners, and slight fraying at the spine ends. The front board retains its black blocked panels and lettering, though the gilt has lightly dulled over time. The text block is generally tight; however, the untrimmed bottom edges display characteristic creasing and curling to the corners of the leaves. Internally, the pages are toned with scattered foxing, most notably to the title page and preliminary leaves, but remain largely clean and entirely readable. Catalogue Note: First English Edition. This copy features a colour frontispiece illustration. A standard previous owner's signature is present on the front free endpaper. While American editions (such as those by H.K. Fly and A.L. Burt) appear with some frequency on the secondary market, this true first UK edition by Stanley Paul & Co. is scarce and seldom encountered in commerce. A classic comedic mystery of the early twentieth century,ÂOfficer 666 follows the wealthy, bored Travers Gladwin as he discovers a plot to rob his own home. Rather than calling the police, Gladwin borrows a uniform, assumes the identity of 'Officer 666,' and attempts to catch the art thief red-handed. The ensuing farce of mistaken identities and romantic entanglements made the story a massive theatrical hit and inspired multiple early film adaptations. N/A (illustrator).…
