You want to kiss and make up? Fine. Find me buyers for these 3 properties: I pay 10% commission. 1) The Most Stinging Indictment of Prohibition Covering an Entire Century “THE DOPE CHRONICLES: 1850-1950”, published by Harper & Row had documented the hysteria, the hypocrisy, and ultimately the failure by the government to enforce a policy of Prohibition. http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/4679/dopchron1cv6.jpghttp://img149.imageshack.us/img149/4417/dopchron2fa0.jpg The original source materials for “THE DOPE CHRONICLES” had been taken from runs of a dozen Major Metropolitan Daily Newspapers, 1850-1950. 1) The material was hilarious: Screaming Headlines, Lurid Addict Stories, Sob Sisters, Allegorical Editorial Cartoons, Fantastic Graphics, Dope Movies, Busts, Politics, Crime, …..Corruption….. 2) The irony was legendary: During the Roaring Twenties, the nation had been rallied by the Popular Press both AGAINST Alcohol Prohibition, but also IN FAVOR of Dope Prohibition. Propagandists, Lobbyists, and Spin Doctors were weaving their fantastic tales on the Editorial Pages. 3) And the outcome was tragic: Tens of thousands of deaths were credited to the hysterical and hypocritical attempts at legislating Public Morality. The book is now out of print. But the original Source Materials remain: a MICROFILM COLLECTION of 2200 newspaper pages, culled from runs of a dozen Major Metropolitan Daily Newspapers, 1850-1950.(Only about 30% of the collection had been used for the book.) The pages relate to the topics of Dope, Drugs, Prohibition, Hysteria, and the ambient culture from each decade. (ZIG-ZAG ads, 1919) The collection, as a collective work, makes a powerful statement about the excesses of Prohibition. It is filled with thousands of photos, illustrations and graphics---surrealistically depicting the Demons which were preying upon Society. The collection is for sale.$10,000 2) FABULOUS COLLECTION: Vintage GAY Newspaper Pages, 1900-1950s "The Gay Return of the Shuttlecock", San Francisco, 1923 "Queer Business Customs in Mexico", Boston, 1913 Tallulah Bankhead, "Let Us Be Gay", SF Chronicle, 1934 "The Best Support in the World for a Rupture......is the Human Hand", New York, 1920 "The Fairies", Caprice for Piano, Boston Globe, 1900 "Four Queens", Illustrated, Portland, 1926 "Those Queer Weddings" "Faults of Some Fruits", 1901 "Gay Grand Dukes Keep Paris Guessing", Exquisite "Your Meat is 100% Pure" "Gay College Petting Parties" These authentic Headlines, News Stories, Advertisements, Full-Color Illustrated Feature Stories are part of a collection of original FULL PAGE, FULL COLOR newspaper pages published in Major Metropolitan Daily Newspapers, during the early half of the 20th century.
