About This Item

Saint Louis, 415 N. Broadway: The Company, . . 8vo, self wrappers, front cover included in pagination stapled at the centerfold; has been folded; separation of the first and last leaf at head of spine (1.5 inches). Printed in blue on blue paper Company not represented in Romaine or McKinstry. "Albert Sidney Aloe (1842Ð1893) was a Jewish immigrant from Scotland who settled in St. Louis, Missouri, in the early 1860s, and sold spectacles and other optical goods. He was soon offering surveying instruments and medical and laboratory supplies as well. The firm was A. S. Aloe in the years 1867Ð1876, Aloe & Hernstein in 1876Ð1880, Aloe, Hernstein & Co. in 1881Ð1884, and then A. S. Aloe & Co. By 1905, it claimed to be "the largest house in the world'" [our thanks to the Smithsonian Institution's website for the preceding information]. The date of this piece is therefore after 1884. An OCLC search for the printer, C. B. Woodward, reveals that firm to have been active from 1891 to1898. Items offered for sale include transparent amber triangles, lettering angles, spiral curves and irregular curves; mahogany straight edges; T-squares; protractors; and a drawing table (patented in 1890)
