FREE SHIPPING - AS USUAL!
(Because of advancing age and the problems that go with same, I'll be cutting back on the
number of items in my ebay store over the next few months - especially items that are
difficult to ship [like oversized pre ww1 sheet music and other oversized items] as well as inexpensive items that have been
listed for more than 2 years without much buyer interest. If you are watching such an
item in my store, you'd best buy it now before it's permanently removed).
PROCEEDINGS OF THE INSTITUTE MEETING OF . . . THE ALABAMA COAL OPERATORS' ASSOCIATION
Held at Edgewater Alabama, July 10, 1915.
Birmingham, Alabama: Dispatch Printing Company, 1915; with 47 pages + original printed paper covers. Illustrated with halftone photos of 2 schools at Edgewater Alabama + halftone photo of dynamite blasting.
Finished size is 6x9 inches = opens up to 12x9 inches for reading.
Includes text of talks on Coal Washing, Electrical Safety in Coal Mines, Underground Safety Precautions, speech by Milton Fies; and a good speech on Use of Permissible Explosives by Daniel Harrington of the U S Bureau of Mines.
These booklets would have been printed in very limited quantities (perhaps 100 originals) strictly for use of the mine owners & operators, rather than for distribution to the general public.
(Starting 18 March 2020 - though I'm social distancing myself and have absolutely no symptoms - I will rub [until dry] a fresh dollop of hand sanitizer into my hands immediately before picking your items from my shelves and packing them - and again when I mail them).
Stray marking on front cover - probably docketing by a coal mining company, clean interior, Very Good
