For my wife and I did all the experimenting for 6 months and I ate all the experiments for 6 months. until we both became letter-perfect."The Vermont Guild of Oldtime Crafts & Industries. Just north of the Common, on the millpond which dams the Wantastiquet, is an imposing red mill, headquarters of this unique non-profit Society founded in 1936. Inside are displays of early Vermont craft-tools and industrial apparatus. But in 1938 it was transformed from a static museum into a living one by making the tools and machines work, so people could see HOW things were done. Perhaps the most successful was the stone grist-mill, with two massive French Burh stones. This mill was belted to the old snail-shell turbine under the dam, and today turns out several wholegrain meals and breakfast cereals, distributed by mail into every state of the Union." [Quoted from an article by Vrest Orton, titled "The Weston Revival" published in "Vermont Life" magazine in the Fall of 1946].The author, Vrest Orton (1897-1986), was the founder of the Vermont Country Store. Born in Vermont, Orton traveled throughout the United States and Mexico before settling down in New York City. He worked for H.L. Mencken on "The American Mercury", published "Dreiserana", "Vermont Afternoons with Robert Frost", "And So Goes Vermont" and co-wrote "Cooking with Whole Grains" with his wife Mildred Ellen Wilcox (1911-2010). Orton also founded the bibliophile magazine "The Colophon". Settling back in Vermont, he and his wife started the Vermont Country Store in 1946.RARE.

- A collection of 12 letters penned by E. Harold Hugo addressed to Parker Breese Allen, President of the Meriden Gravure Company, chronicling Hugo's sales trips on behalf of the printing company. Hugo's letters are preceded by a March 27th, 1931 Inter-Office letter from Parker Allen to E. Harold Hugo, initialed by Allen. At the bottom of this one-page typed letter is a 25 word annotation penned by Allen about the "Manning-Bowman" job. Hugo's subsequent letters are penned or penciled on 34 pages, the first 3 of which are on 9-1/4 inch high by 5-7/8 inch high hotel stationery, including that of the Southwest Hotels in Little Rock and The Dayton-Biltmore in Ohio. The very last letter is penned on 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide Lord Baltimore Hotel stationery. All of the other letters are written on The Meriden Gravure Co.'s 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide "Inter-Office Correspondence" stationery. The letters are as follows:1) April 20, 1931. A 4 page Autograph Letter Signed from Hugo to "Parks" (Parker Allen), on Little Rock Hotel letterhead. Hugo has met with the State of Arkansas geologist George Casper Branner. "He was very much interested, is sold on the process and plans to use us on some of his fossil publications."2) April 21, 1931. A 2 page Autograph Letter Signed from Hugo to Parker Allen on Dayton, Ohio's "The Dayton-Biltmore" hotel letterhead. Hugo met with the Kentucky State geologist Willard Rouse Jillsen, "rather a hard-boiled chap & his father is in the engraving business. However, he had to admit the superiority of our work."3) April 22, 1931. A two page Autograph Letter Signed from Hugo to Parker Allen on "The Dayton-Biltmore" letterhead. Hugo met with the American geologist and paleontologist August F. Foerste who "gave me a couple of leads." "Foerste liked our work immensely."Subsequent letters are from Hugo's 1932 sales trip. The letters probably date from January but we have not been able to precisely pin down the exact sequence. All, but the last one, are written on "The Meriden Gravure Co. Inter-Office Correspondence" stationery. Deducing from the content, they go at least through March.4) A 4 page Autograph Letter Signed, penned in Chicago, addressed to Parker Allen. Hugo met with Albert C. McFarland who was the manager of the Manufacturing Department of the University of Chicago Press. He receives information on where the work is done for the press. "Mac Farland [sic] seemed like a nice fellow and says he'll remember us and I believe he will . as far as I can see, Mac Farland is the Dictator." He also met with Carey Croneis, the curator of paleontology at the Walker Museum. "Croneis likes our stuff very much and will recommend it."5) A 2 page Autograph Letter Signed and a note written from Urbana, Illinois to Parker Allen. He met with Dorothy Rose the editor of scientific publication for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. "We are certain to get their next book on fossils." [i.e. J. Marvin Weller's Doctoral Thesis].6) A 4 page Autograph Letter Signed to Parker Allen from Nebraska. Hugo met with Dr. Erwin Barbour, director of the Nebraska State Museum and "a classmate of your Dad's at Yale." He then met with Dr. George Condra, director of the Conservation and Survey Division of the University of Nebraska. "He promised us his next job of 1500 of about 50 plates." Condra arranged a meeting with Hugo of men in the Experimental Agronomy Dept, [mis-spelled "Agrenamy"]. ".excellent reception here . By golly, our stuff just sells itself with a little persuasion."7) A 3 page Autograph Letter Signed from Kansas to Parker Allen. Hugo met with Ray C. Moore of the University of Kansas. Moore initiated the massive "Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology," the definitive encyclopedia of invertebrate fossils. Moore tells Hugo about a company in Canada ". Who are quoting ridiculous prices. I can't figure it out. He'll continue with us however."8) A 2 page Autograph Letter Signed from Norman Oklahoma to Parker.
