Published c. 1900, Boston by Queen Quality Shoes.
32 pages. Text in English. Illustrated throughout with b&w photos. 

Publisher's oblong pictorial color paper wrappers.

Remarkable little insight to this once massive thriving business. There was a medical office, a library, cafeterias, a school for children workers, etc.

Book is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Book is not new or in "new" condition.

Binding gently age worn, mostly light signs of handling and time but nothing offensive or severe, book remains overall attractive as an object. Someone wrote Boston Mass. on the top of the front cover long ago.

Paper is gently toned, internally still clean, tight, sound internally.

Still attractive on the shelf. The book displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in overall nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws which may be present seem easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detail showing how this book survives. The asking price reflects the condition based on our examination and 35+ years full time exposure to antiquarian books, maps and printed ephemera of all types and genres. Flaws seen and/ or described have been taken into account.
