Albert Pick & Company 1913 Reprint General Catalog

A complete retail reproduction of the Albert Pick & Company 1913 General Catalog with a new introduction by Ross Bolton.How can I state better what this catalog is then they did, "The World's Greatest Market Place. Everything for the Complete Equipment of Hotels, Tavern, Saloon, Restaurants, Clubs, Institutions, Soda Fountain Parlors and Billiard Halls."Published just before prohibition from Chicago, the hub of the shipping industry, this bar guide features practically every bit and piece needed in running a public establishment.Where else could one find pages of tableware (Tom and Jerry set anyone?), linens, furniture, utensils, and all those little nick knacks like labels and matchbooks?Really a collectors dream as one can identify so much in just one book.
