Description

"'Buy and Boost' Home Products," published by The Roberts-Bailey Company, Chicago, 1916. The item is a series of cartoons and editorials to assist in developing a "home products campaign" for civic groups, commercial organizations and newspapers and feature the artwork of De Witt A. Patterson. A separate essay "To the Newspaper" identifies ways to utilize the campaign followed by examples of newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times, that have done so. Another section includes letters from the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and several area businesses testifying to the efficacy of the system. With soiling, creases, edge rubbing and a few stains to the wrappers and some soiling to pages, the overall condition is good.
