Books from U.S. Senator's Library
Recently, we have listed more books on ebay from the estate of U.S.
Senator Ralph Yarborough or Texas. Most of these books are first
editions that were given to the senator by other senators in the 1960s.
In the above photo is Yarborough to the left next to Governor Connally
and Vice President Lyndon Johnson. It is no secret that Yarborough and
Johnson had a heated rivalry. One key reason for President Kennedy
coming to Texas and Dallas was to cool their rivalry which was causing
conflict within the Democratic Party. They were riding in the motorcade
when the President was shot.

New Listings - vintage magazines
This month I am going through a few of our old magazines from our
archives and listing on our eBay auctions.
It
is mesmorizing to go through them, with vibrant ads for Made in the USA
products and interesting articles for a much simpler life.
We
also have a unique booklet - the U.S. Education Program for Japan with
handwritten class schedule and notes - 1946. Acquired at an estate for a
retired U.S. Navy Captain who oversaw the establishment of an education
program for Japan following WWII. Note, this has now sold. 
Coming
soon are some 1906 magazines filled with rare ads for the first steam
and gas powered automobiles.
Stay
tuned...we have many many vintage magazines and items available from our
archives.
