64 pp. Illustrated throughout, much in color. 25x17.2 cm (9¾x6¾"), red printed wrappers. Marvelous catalogue aimed at retailers, with an unbelievable range of products at wholesale rates, from Indian blankets to banjos and ukuleles, with magic dice, pool cues, pistols and revolvers, "Art chocolate" assortments (featuring boxes with pictures of nearly nude models), and more. Primary to the offerings are the numerous sales boards available, for displaying the items, pictured in vivid color. A fascinating glimpse into post-WWI consumerism and marketing prowess.
