The Red Crown: Vol. 4, No. 12 (December, 1919).
Chicago: Acme Packing Company, December 1919. Paperback. 8vo. Stiff pictorial wrappers. 14pp. Very good. Outer wrappers slightly edgeworn and a tad soiled, but overall a tight, nice issue of this trade industry publication "Published Monthly in the Interest of the Wholesale Grocer." Accompanied by an Autograph Letter Signed from Forrest, 1p, 8½" X 11", Los Angeles, CA, 1925 May 10. Addressed to Sunkist Garment Factories. Good plus. Lightly age toned and slightly edgeworn. Interesting to note that this experienced trade industry editor, who had also edited "Woman's World," "Household Guest," "Homefolks" and "Everyday Life," was by 1925 looking for work. He writes here: "As an applicant for the position you advertise in today's Times, I am able to offer you a broad experience in handling canvassers and in sales through other channels. I formerly held the position of sales promotion manager for H.W. Gossard Co. Chicago and managed the Protexwel Mfg. Corp. for them, selling waterproof wear for women & children, thro agents, etc. I have definite qualifications as a general office executive, in connection with my sales & advertising ability.... Have been paid up to $100.00 weekly for my services, but we should be able to agree on remuneration. Trust you will interview me...." Boldly and attractively penned in black ink. Interesting pair.
