[Kelsey Sales Packet from 1950]

This document contains the miscellaneous material in a packet of sales literature sent by the Kelsey Company and received on 1950-07-24 and an envelope sent 1950-08-02. In addition, this packet also contained the Kelsey "Handy Pocket Price List No. 50B" dated 1950-07-24 and a copy of Kelsey's Do Your Own Printing booklet (edition "50 1/4 Y"). These two items have been reprinted separately (see below).

Thanks are due to Jenny Addison, Prop. of Lock and Key Press, for making this material available.

Do Your Own Printing ("48 3/4 X", Incomplete)

This booklet is undated, but is encoded "48 3/4 X" on the lower left of the cover illustration (other editions bore different codes here). This is an incomplete copy, missing all pages beyond 22. What is present differs from the complete copy (50 1/4 X) above only insofar as it has different prices and a a slightly different arrangement of material (see especially p. 15, which contains papers shown on p. 24 and monograms shown on p. 21 of edition 50 1/4 X). If this reprint has any use, it is to historians of printing. The general reader will find the complete copy of 50 1/4 X (above) more useful.
