The following is the description from a May 2006 e-bay auction:
What we have here is a very terrific and colorful 1884 illustrated catalogue for the Monarch Manufacturing Company's Lightning Sawing Machine.......This catalogue is twenty-five pages and measures approx. 6 by 9 inches and is in very good condition with the front and back covers detached, but this does not detract from the overall desireability of this item because of the sheer fact that this catalogue is 122 years old.....this is really a great item for looking at how they use to cut down trees and saw up lumber and such...the contents of this catalogue are: Introduction, Our Credentials, Description of Machine, Directions How To Use, Why you need a machine, No waste in power, Terms, Warrant saw blades, Price of machine, Duplicate Parts, Wholesale Prices, Limited as to time, How to remit, A good Farm for one years work, Correspondence, Cost of freight, Can't ship by telegraph, Delay not always our fault, A word of caution, Who will it be?, Thirty Days Test., Fresh home testimony, Pay off that mortgage, Logging without snow, Our handsome lithograph, A free pass to Chicago, Agents wanted on salary, what our agents are making, send in your order, borrow the money, and a final word to agents......this catalogue has fantastic illustrations and it even has updates and inserts...all in all, how many lumber cutting catalogues do you find that are this many years old ????? |
