Abendroth Bros. - The Cotton Plant, Vol. II --- No. 3

New York, Abendroth Bros. 1870. First Edition. Large advertising piece in a newspaper format; 19 3/4 x 14 1/4; pp. [4]; illustrated with engravings; fold lines and a few small closed splits and creases to edges; in about very good condition. An unrecorded advertising for the Abendroth Bros. products, with emphasis on the Cotton Plant Stove, it also featured articles on the Franco-Prussian War, the wide-spread adoration for the "Shoo Fly Don't Bother Me" song (said to have been written by a soldier a few years earlier, during the Civil War), etc. It also showcased writings by, allegedly, customers, including a short one by a "Texan," with questionable for the times morale, which was titled "Conjugal Confusion" and told a story of railway men, wives visiting, confused hotel employees, and switched women. The Abendroth Bros. Stove Foundry was established in 1840. One of the largest foundries on the East Coast, at its height it employed 700 people. Very good .
