- Nine issues of News Selling from 1938 & 1939. These were a 4 page brochure that was distributed by the Democrat & Chronicle to news boys to get them to sell more newspapers. Also helped them be able to run their business of selling newspapers. Not sure why I bought these, except maybe because they were so different.
- Program for the Commencement of Jefferson High School, Jan. 1938. This was when some of the Rochester High Schools had graduating classes in January and June.
- The Kodak Magazine; Vol. 5, no. 1 (June 1924), a magazine for employees of Eastman Kodak. In this issue they tell how they made their colorized covers. Also have to remind you that I have a large Kodak collection that includes many old employee magazines and newspapers.
- Babyland, Feb. 1890. As this isn’t anything related to local history, I added to the collection of issues that I already had uploaded to the Internet Archive. It is a 8 page booklet with short stories, poems, and illustrations for very young children. This one had more pages of ads than the actual magazine.
