Oblong folio. 17 x 11 in. 36 pp. Photo-illustrated throughout, some double page spreads. Textured printed burgundy softcovers, black lettering, metal spiral-bound as issued, fold at center (some age toning, rubbing, minor scuffing, couple leaves w/ minor closed tears), still a VG copy. First edition of this surprisingly scarce trailer and heavy equipment catalogue issued by the Wisconsin-based manufacturer at the outset of the Great Depression. The photographs depict the production facilities, the machine shop, pattern shop, chemical & mechanical laboratories, as well as detailing the development of the Martin Rocking Fifth Wheel hitch, and the series of patents up to 1921 allowing for heavier semi-trailers, and travel trailers. The wide varieties of models, clients, and advertising are all included from dairy company's to Schlitz Beer, specialized pole digging equipment and heavy equipment for installing telephone lines, and more. The company was founded originally by Menhall in 1917 in Beloit, WI, who later leased the Edgerton Wagon Works to begin production before buying the site to expand his factory. The company specialized in commercial semi-trailers as well as small produce trailers, and would later become a major supplier for the U.S. Army and Navy during World War II. No copies in Worldcat.

Seven original paintings. Oblong folio. 20 x 15 in., painted in muted gouache on Crescent Illustration Board, No. 300, with original label indicating the board were purchased from the Duedall-Potts Stationers in downtown Albany, OR, and all are signed by the artist (minor age toning & wear to fore-edges, very slight scuffing), still an excellent bright group. This series of military industrial concept art paintings appear to have been executed sometime around 1960, and most likely for articles in Popular Mechanics, Mechanix Illustrated, or military-specific periodicals focusing on weapons development. The first painting captures a jet (close to the Lockheed F-104, but tale configuration different) bombing a section of jungle with massive explosion in center of painting; 4-tracked dozer & trailer being lowered by Sikorsky dual-rotor helicopter into the debris; the caterpillar 4-tracked dozer then clearing the debris, and finally being reloaded into dual-rotor heavy-lift helicopter. Other proposed military applications for the same four-track platform were an ambulance in battlefield conditions, with one soldier carrying another to the open back door; four-tube rocket launcher featuring sharp angles and planes foreshadowing the ungainly Tesla Truck, and finally portable communications with revolving antenna and operator in rear half of the four-track vehicle. Although the proposed innovations as depicted in the concept art do not specifically mention a manufacturer, or company, these appear to be quite similar in operation and construction as the famed Tucker Sno-Cat 4-track vehicles, which were historically developed and built in the company factory based out of Medford, Oregon, and famously used by Sir Vivian Fuchs in crossing Antarctica overland in 1958. Calson (1927-2009) was a Detroit-born commercial artist, who served in the U.S. Army during World War II, then the Army Air Force, and later studied at Art Center. He became a noted industrial illustrator, and commercial artist, as well as farmer and woodworker. He was also well-known for his set designs, and backdrops for the Lebanon Theater Workshop in Albany, Oregon.
