About this Item
Description:
[2],6,[4]pp., advertisements on wrappers. Tall octavo. Original printed salmon-colored wrappers. Small stain in lower edge of front wrapper, small chip in lower fore-edge of same. Else fine. A rare, early promotional for Butte County, emphasizing its potential as a fruit growing region. The text is an address by Jesse Wood, superintendent of schools, to the Butte County Teachers' Institute. He focuses on the agricultural potential of the county, its plentiful natural irrigation, and the variety of fruits that could be grown, and emphasizes the pleasant quality of life in the region. The attractive advertisements, which demonstrate the typesetting abilities of THE WEEKLY MERCURY, are for Oroville businesses. Not in the catalogue of the Norris collection, which was so strong in California local history, nor in Cowan, who lists only a later work by Wood on the same subject. OCLC locates two copies under differing title entries at the Bancroft Library and California State Library. Rare. ROCQ 1367. OCLC 58938608, 21703493. COWAN, p.692 (ref). Seller Inventory # WRCAM48082
