Description: No Place: International Business Machines, 1947. Paperback. This is a trade sized booklet with cardstock covers and a stapled spine. The booklet is in Good only condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The spine joint has noticeable rubbing and wear. The covers have creasing and it appears to have been folded at least once. There is a previous owner's penciled name on the front cover, and penciled scribbles to both inner covers. The previous owner's name is inked on the inside front cover, along with an ink stamped date of Nov. 12, 1947. Many of the text pages have penciled circles, or underlining and there are a couple of pages with spots of foxing. Unlike earlier, more flashily produced copies of this songbook, the 1947 edition is very stripped down - with no copyright information (only the company name on the title page) , date, or introductory remarks. Even the name has been stripped down (Early copies of the booklet were titled: The Songs of the IBM). This copy includes 48 different lyrics on 20 pages, starting with; Ever Onward (Ever Onward I B M) , through the usual patriotic songs; America, Star-Spangled Banner, The Caissons go Rolling Along, Marine Hymn, to 1940's standards; On the Road to Mandalay, My WIld Irish Rose, Sweet Adeline, and throughout, songs that have been modified to trumpet the business itself and instill pride and cohesion; Hail to the I B M, To Thomas J. Watson, President IBM, The IBM Country Club Song, and more. The Song Book would have been used at Company gatherings, like the 100 Percent club get-togethers, at Shareholder meetings, or company conventions.. Good .
