8vo, pp. 64; frontispiece portrait with perforated stub (maybe suitable for framing?); original printed wrappers; very good, clean and sound. A short-lived periodical - only this one issue published by the Pacific Coast Borax Company ever appeared - containg seven uncredited radio scrips for "Death Valley Days," all pertaining to Death Valley and the extraction of borax. "Borax first came into common use in the late 19th century when Francis Marion Smith's Pacific Coast Borax Company began to market and popularize a large variety of applications under the 20 Mule Team Borax trademark, named for the method by which borax was originally hauled out of the California and Nevada deserts" (wikpedia).
