The Bookaneer: Books, Paper, & Collectibles

by R.M.Dreier

In light of the current economic situation,  I  thought it poignant to list this pamphlet issued by the Social Security Board highlighting "old-age" benefits.

The Social Security Board began disbursement of said benefits during the very end of the Great Depression. This would make a great gift for a recent retiree or an excellent addition to a historians collection.

With the upcoming elections and the "America First" slogans being thrown about. I figured I would list some items I acquired over the summer.

In a lot I purchased I had found some Interesting clippings fom Charles Lindbergh's Speaking tour promoting his ant-intervention politics prior to WWII. The clippings are from the Minneapolis Star and the Newspaper Social Justice.

I am also listing a pamphlet of his Radio Addresses and a pamphlet put out by the American Jewish Committee addressing concerns of anti-semitism in the isolationist camps. (KKK, Silvershirts etc.)

Take a look, I'm sure that these historically significant Items will make a welcome addition to your collection.

Well, I recently discovered a bunch of old Newsprint Circulars for the Fairway Markets based out of St. Paul MN. With an imprint of Reiter Brothers Pine Island MN

Among these I have listed some beautiful Vintage Holiday Issues of Fairway Home and Community Builder & Fairway Succesful Home. Essentially advertising vehicles for the Fairway Markets,  these Eight page gems are wonderful pieces of Americana from the 1920s and 1930s.  These are Sure to make a great addition to your holiday decor.

I will be listing more issues soon as well as some other vintage newspapers.
