Ten vols. 4to. 126; 142; 150; 206; 164; 180; 164; 178; 154; 127, [1] pp. With over 1200 photo illustrations, maps, diagrams, and illustrated ads throughout, many in colour, most in black & white. Colour-illustrated softcovers, cover art photos (minor scuffing, edgewear, very slight & faint tidemark to very lower edge of textblocks, No. 11 w/ minor staining, creasing & wear front cover), still a VG- set, from the library of Stan Stueve (1910-1972), Portland, Oregon engineer, w/ mailing labels. First editions of nearly a complete run of the lavishly illustrated trade magazine for heavy equipment manufacturers, engineering firms, and construction firms in Washington, Oregon, Northern California, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska during the Mid-20th-Century construction boom, which resulted in year-after-year growth in public infrastructure and capital investment, including the expansion of the Interstate Highway system, hydropower dam projects, roads, bridges, canals, and much more. Launched originally in 1907 as a weekly newspaper, this industry trade magazine eventually became monthly and later bi-monthly through the 1960's. Although several institutions do have runs of PB&E in their holdings, many of the runs are incomplete, or broken, and more than the occasional individual issue for sale in the market are quite scarce.…
