Oblong 4to. 9.25 x 7.5 in. [102 pp (unpaginated).], on thick black paper stock. With 360 silver gelatin photos tipped-in, sized from 1.5 x 1.5 in up to 7 x 9 in., with the majority sized 3 x 5.25 in., a few w/ text within the negative (some w/ minor creasing a couple loose). Embossed red post-binder, brass screw posts at gutter margin, hand-lettered on front cover in neat draftsman's hand, draftsman hand annotations in pencil in blank margins of leaves when revealed on gutter spine blanks (minor scuffing, edgewear, some occasional tears to internal leaves, many leaves reinforced with archival black cloth tape), still a VG exemplar. This intriguing photo album depicts the lives of Smith's family, primarily engineers, inventors, river pilots, and miners originally on the Yukon River, out of Whitehorse and Dawson City, and then in southern California following World War I. The album opens with an image of of Archie, his brother George, and others seated in what appears to be an open 5-bench seat ca. 1915-1916 International Model F bus in front of ivy-covered building. This is followed by a section including approximately 30 photographs devoted to the store, factory, sales outlets, advertising on the company car, and sales promotions for the "Hydro Syphon" Iceless Refrigerator invented by Archie Smith. This short-lived Hydro-Syphon Iceless Refrigerator was touted throughout the West as a substitute for buying ice, and featured a bowl of an inverted glass bowl of water supplying cooling to coils above the chamber holding items to kept "refrigerated." These are followed by many photos depicting the Smith family's "smart" Southern California Bungalows (1 Norman Revival Style), apartment houses, and homes in and around Long Beach and Los Angeles during the Roaring 20s. The rest of the album focuses on the adventures and outdoor living experienced by his children Evelyn, Dorothy, and later young Robert. With their home located next to the automobile garage at which he worked, he created an extraordinary backyard for his children fitted with pergola, slide, swings, wading pool, toys, and even a chalkboard, and items for the daughter's tea parties. Archie had previously worked as an engineer and draftsman for the White Pass & Yukon Route in the Yukon, while developing Aerosleds with his brother George Smith, which were small prop-driven single man sleds used on ice and also ran on the W. P. & Y. Route Ry tracks. Archie Smith (1887-1964) had married Pansie Grace Lawrence in 1916 in Tacoma, and when registering for the World War I draft noted a physical disability. After his refrigerator business folds, he worked as real estate agent, and then draftsman in an automobile machine shop in Los Angeles. His brother George Camden Smith (1889-1972), also shown in the photos was a ship's engineer, and longtime river pilot on the Yukon River, before immigrating back to the U.S. in 1941 to live near his brother. Their stepfather William Puckett (b. 1869), Klondike gold miner living in Seattle, WA in 1900, married Anna Smith a widow sometime before 1903, and then returns to Whitehorse with the stepchildren, to establish his roadhouse, hardware store, and confectionary, and retired to Long Beach in 1938.
