Fine three-colour process printing inks
Rare Books
"We have pleasure in submitting in this new specimen book a range of some our latest Three-Colour Process Inks. ... Preceding each series is a brief preface furnishing special information as to certain qualities of the inks--their light resistance, their varnishability, their alkali resistance or otherwise--as well as giving certain hints in regard to the series taken as a whole. The question of light resistance is one which has become in the past few years increasingly important, and we have available information and suggestions which are at all times at our customers' disposal. On the following page are set forth our definitions of the terms which throughout this book are applied to the different inks, and we define exactly what we mean by permanent, fast, etc."--From foreword.

Mathers, A. C. 1 letter to Louise A. Mathers and Anna Mathers
Manuscripts
The collection is composed entirely of correspondence between various members of the Mathers family. The bulk of the collection consists of letters between Harry and his mother, A.C. Mathers, and his wife, Nettie Mathers. Harry's letters reflect his experiences working as a surveyor in the railroad and mining industries in California and northern Mexico during the late 19th and 20th centuries. Correspondence between A.C.Mathers, Harry Mathers, and Nettie Mathers also discusses the personal details of the Mathers' family life, especially Harry and Nettie's children. The collection also includes some letters between A.C., Harry, and Nettie and the couple's sons, Donald, Frank, and Paul Mathers. There are also a few letters between Nettie and her parents, C. Dibble and C. A. Dibble, as well as a few from her siblings, Ethel, Karl, Katie, and "Stell." The collection's 134 letters are arranged in folders alphabetically by author and then by addressee. Within each folder, letters are sorted chronologically. The last folder contains empty envelopes that could not be matched to letters in the collection.
