First editions, thus, of 121 volumes in this original counter display for the "Swap-It" Cowboy Storybook series issued by Samuel Lowe in the Big Little Book format. Lowe (1890-1952) was longtime president of Whitman Publishing Co. in Racine, Wisconsin and responsible for much of the concepts and marketing driving the popularity of the Big Little Books, as well as developing the successful relationship with Walt Disney Studios for movie tie-ins. After leaving Whitman in 1940, he set up the Samuel Lowe Co., developed a similar line, and was one of the first packagers in the publishing and comic industries, coordinating artists, editors, designs, and printing to successfully produce books under the Samuel Lowe Co. label. These 5¢ smaller versions were designed to offer children a far more reasonable miniature book than the standard Big Little Book, or Better Little Book issued by Whitman and Saalfield at the time, typically priced 10¢ to 15¢ each following World War II. Crowe (1920-1996) was cartoonist in Racine, Wisconsin who following World War II was a successful commercial artist, illustrated many of the Hopalong Cassidy books, and ran an advertising agency until 1996. His son Christopher Crowe, became the noted Hollywood cinema and television writer, director & producer.
