Rare Books

"In submitting the following selection of our inks for your consideration, we have divided them into two classes, Grade A and Grade B. The first is printed on a 100 lb. stock and the second on a 50 lb. stock, both coated. During the printing of these inks, no attempt was made to make them look better than they really are. Upon removal from the cans at the press, the only changes made were in some cases a reduction in body in order to adapt the inks to the paper and press on which they were being printed. They were neither double rolled nor slip-sheeted. It is impossible to make any one ink that will work on every press and on any kind of paper. Therefore, we would particularly ask that when ordering inks from this book to attain a desired color that you state the type of press used, and enclose a sample of stock. The majority of these inks can be sued for Halftone work. In ordering inks for this purpose, kindly state with your order that it is to be used for the printing of a Halftone"--From introduction.

Jonathan Club letter to Henry E. Huntington, February 16, 1905

Manuscripts

Mr. H.E. Huntington, Pres. Jonathan Club, No. 27 Broad St., New York City, New York. Dear Sir:- Your letter of Jan. 13th was presented to the Board at their last regular meeting. I regret a reply has not been given before but same was occasioned from the fact of our disorganized condition and having held no regular meeting recently. As you are probably aware, we were obliged to leave our old quarters and have now simply an office for our Assistant Secretary in the Pacific Electric Bldg, to be used temporarily until the new quarters are ready for occupancy. I am directed by the Board to tender our regrets at your desire to resign the Presidency of the Club and to say that we have considered it would not be advisable to take any action thereon at this time, for the reason that the business of President can be taken care of by Vice-President Rule until our next Annual Meeting which occurs in May next.We earnestly hope that you will be pleased to allow your name to again be presented for the Presidency.Yours very truly,C.H. White (signature)Secretary.
