Salesman's Catalog with Prices

Our fine reproduction of an extremely informative and interesting 25-page salesman's catalog plus covers, from the Hoosier Mfg. Co, in New Castle, Indiana. We have also added an introduction and a page showing the original condition.

The all-in-one Hoosier cabinets are beautifully depicted in full-color illustrations. Each cabinet has a full page of description, detailing all its parts and features, and giving its dimensions. At the end of the catalog is a list of patent dates for knobs, bins, latches, and other features of the cabinet. This book was not widely distributed, obviously intended for salesmen to show prospective customers. The original production values are incredible.

The salesman had written in prices for each cabinet, and we include them as a new page in the catalog. (We removed all the scribbling digitally from these full-color plates.) We're not sure if these were wholesale or retail prices, however. Wonderfully over-the-top sales spiels on many pages. A great source for designers, collectors, and historians.

We have digitally reproduced and restored our original catalog at an extremely high resolution, and printed the pages on an archival paper. This is not a photocopy - our methods allow us to retain an unusual image clarity and depth of detail. Any colors are daylight-corrected. Some of our fine reproduction catalogs are already in museum research collections.

This reproduction catalog is meant to be a permanent reference. Its true spiral binding, unlike a comb binding, allows this book to remain unharmed when left open at the desired place. The front and back covers are printed on heavy marbled cover stock, protected by sturdy clear vinyl outer covers. A wonderful and unusual gift for yourself or someone special.
