Description:
[Washington]: [GPO], 1862. Softcover. Very good. 4 pp. Report No. 83 of the 37th Congress, 2d session. Lower corners creased, some dust soiling; very good. House Bill 143 was entitled "A bill for the relief of certain half-breeds of mixed bloods of the Dacotah or Sioux nation of Indians and their grantees." It related to the provisions of an act passed in 1854 granting the "half-breeds" scrip in exchange for land previously assigned to them under an 1830 treaty. This report from the Committee on Public Lands recommends against passage of the bill, which would have presented obstacles to railroad construction in Minnesota. The committee argues that "Congress ought not to interfere by special legislation, but should leave the parties to their legal rights." A scarce report, with only digitial copies located in OCLC.

Chicago: The Merchants Record Company, 1908. Hardcover. Fair. 8" x 10.75", 256 pp, extensively illustrated with b/w halftones. Blue cloth boards heavily worn and soiled, cloth split at upper spine, hinges tender, pages with old dampstaining and occasional soiling. A complete, serviceable copy of this early, in-depth guide to display merchandising for hardware and general stores ("hardware" being used here a bit more broadly than it is today), covering everything from from color and form to fixtures and content, for windows that are themed, unthemed, seasonal, whimsical, practical, elaborate, elegant, and just plain odd. The copious illustrations and examples of real-life displays are a wonderful window (pardon the pun) onto turn-of-the-century American retail practices and the way browsers of the day would have experienced the shops they visited. As the Introduction states, "If a store has good windows regularly, people will learn to look for them. They will walk blocks out of their way to see what…
