What man, woman, or child of the 1890s could resist these offerings of the Montgomery Ward catalogue, the one book that was read avidly, year after year, by millions of Americans on farms and in small towns across the nation? The Montgomery Ward catalogue provides one of the few irrefutably accurate pictures of what life was "really like" in the gay nineties, for it described and illustrated almost anything that anybody could possibly need or want in the way of "store-bought" goods. In fact, in that pre-department store era, it was usually the only source for such goods. Imagine if Montgomery Ward had issued an illustrated catalogue in the days of Louis XIV, or Elizabeth I, or Charlemagne: what insights would we have into the daily life of the "common folk," the farmers and shopkeeper, housewives and schoolchildren . . . what sources of information for historians and scholars, collectors and dealers, what models for artists and designers. In 1895, Montgomery Ward was the oldest, largest, and most representative mail-order house in the country. The brainchild of a former traveling salesman, it issued its first catalogue in 1872, a one-page listing of items. By 1895, the catalogue, reprinted here, had grown to 624 pages and listed some 25,000 items, almost all of them illustrated with live drawings. Montgomery Ward was by then a multi-million dollar business that profoundly affected the American economy; and since it reached the most isolated farms and backwoods cabins, its effect on American culture was almost as great. Now once again available, it is our truest, most unbiased record of the spirit of the 1890s. An introduction on the history of the Montgomery Ward Company and its catalogue has been prepared especially for this edition by Boris Emmet, Ph.D. (Johns Hopkins), a foremost expert on retail merchandising. His monumental work Catalogues and Counters has long been recognized as a landmark in the study of American economic history.

Download or read book The Organ Reed written by Noel Aubrey Bonavia-Hunt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Organ Reed: The Voicing and Use of Reed Pipes; The Mechanical Properties of Reed Pipes OF all the sound producing parts of a pipe organ the Reed has had the least attention paid to its inner working by the scientist, and such information as has hitherto been published in text books on the physical aspect of sound is disappointingly meagre and not invariably correct. For this reason the authors of this little book have ventured to contribute further data on the subject and it is hoped that this may prove of interest to the organ lover. We do not claim to have provided an exhaustive treatise on the properties of the organ reed; indeed it would have been easily possible to double or treble the size of this book by incorporating much addi tional matter relating to the actual tone qualities of reed stops as heard in hundreds of organs, ancient and modern; but for informa tion of this kind the reader can safely be recommended to consult the many excellent treatises that every organ enthusiast should possess, and in which this class of data is lavishly supplied. Our intention has been to cover fresh ground and to give the results of actual experiments conducted both from the scientific and the aesthetic aspect, avoiding the temptation to make statements un supported by practical experience or unverified by scientific test. It will be observed that what is known as the striking reed has been singled out for almost exclusive attention. There is good reason for this, since the free reed is no longer in favour with the modern organ builder and organist and is only recognized as a substitute for the organ pipe in very exceptional cases. The free reed is of course still employed as a sound producer in the pressure type harmonium and the suction type American Organ but such instruments as these are beyond the scope of this small book which is limited to the class of reed found in the modern pipe organ.
