This 1967 Alaska Purchase Centennial reprint of the May 27, 1915 Pioneer-News extra was issued by the Cook Inlet Historical Society. "Status of the New Townsite" discusses the development of Anchorage, surrounded by advertisements for Brown & Hawkins, Northern Drug Co., local lodging, transport, and other early businesses. The August 25, 1950 Alaska Weekly, published in Seattle, documents Alaska's strategic development during the early Cold War through news, regional reporting, and period advertisements. The paper has pronounced discoloration and wear at folds. Michigan Buggy Journal, Volume 1, Number 3, supplies a richly illustrated view of the late-nineteenth-century carriage trade, with Michigan Buggy Company vehicles, road carts, springs, wheels, varnishes, and related advertisements. It has worn edges and small tears. The journal measures approximately 20.75" x 13.25" folded and 25.75" tall unfolded.
