Holman's Baking Powder = Holman's Backpulver [Advertising Broadside]
de Holman, Edward D
- Usado
Buffalo, N.Y.: E. D. Holman, 1868. Very Good -. 1 broadside (30 x 22 cm.). Advertising and recipes for Holman's Baking Powder, printed on one side in two columns, one in English and one in German. The business address is given as "179 (New No.) Main St." In Buffalo city directories, Edward D. Holman, grocer, is listed at that address from 1868 to 1873. Although he is advertising his baking powder in this broadside, he is only listed in the city directories as a grocer, not as a manufacturer of baking powder, until 1876 when he is also listed as a manufacturer of baking powder. He continued to make and sell his baking powder through 1884, after which he appears to have retired. Contains recipes for 18 breads, griddle cakes, puddings, and cakes to be made with his baking powder (each in English and German). Scarce. In Very Good- Condition: dark brown stains in the center; one vertical and one horizontal crease; edges cut irregularly; solid.

Redlands, California: Pure Gold, [1955]. Stapled wraps. Very good. [12p.] Small chips to wrap edges. The Mutual Orange Distributors (MOD) was founded in Redlands, California, in 1906 as a cooperative marketing association representing citrus growers in California. Within a few years, the coop included citrus growers in western Arizona. In 1955, MOD changed its name to Pure Gold, originally the brand name for fruit grown by the approximately 2,500 MOD growers. Sunkist took over the Pure Gold trademark when the co-op closed in 1987 due to housing developments replacing the citrus fields and the shrinking number of packing plants. This booklet explains the history of the citrus-growing culture in California and Arizona and provides information on the variety of oranges, lemons, and grapefruit grown and their cultivation and packaging. A map on the back shows the regions represented by the Pure Gold cooperative. Scarce, none located in OCLC. B&w illustrations and halftone photographs. (11"x8-1/2")

There he was influenced by Johann Gustav Droysen and Johann Kaspar Bluntschli, the latter also becoming his mentor. Heidelberg did not then require a thesis from its doctoral candidates, instead it required an oral examination, for which he chose political science for his major field (Hauptfach), with two minors… Leer más
