For Which We Stand; the life and papers
of Rufus Easton
 It is odd
that the importance of the United States Postal Service should
have been so much ignored by those experts who have appointed
themselves as historic writers. Throughout the history of the
United States there are many individuals who were dedicated and
served this great institution and other branches of our government.
The U.S. Postal Service is the web that holds this great country
together. Next to Dr. Benjamin Franklin, Rufus Easton was one
of the most colorful in the Postal history at the dawn of these
United States. For Easton was first postmaster of St. Louis while
simultaneously judge of the largest territory ever in North America.
The Life and Papers of Rufus Easton is a 300 page manuscript
containing all of the above chapters sells for $35.00. This book
weighs 30 ounces and is on 8 + x 11 format. Send check to address

The Life and Times of Captain George W. Ely.
 GEORGE W. ELY was
born January 6, 1840, in West Springfield, Massachusetts. In
1857, at 17, he enlisted in the Seventh Regiment of the New York
National Guard. George William Ely was a soldier in the Civil
War and watchdog of the New York Stock Exchange, a towering figure
in both fields. Here is how Colonel Emmons Clark describes Ely
the soldier, in his History of The Seventh Regiment: "Captain
Ely was a thorough soldier, a strict disciplinarian, and a dashing
and popular officer. He was remarkably soldierly in appearance,
with great physical strength and powers of endurance. He was
distinguished for his kindliness and generosity, and he was a
social and genial comrade and a steadfast friend."
This book was edited by my cousins GEORGE W. ELY, III, and
William Dodds Hawkins and was accepted into the New York Stock
Exchange's archives, New York Public Library, New York Historical
Society and many libraries of the U.S.
The Life and Times of George W. Ely is a 100 page manuscript
and sells for $25.00, Send check to address above and request

Adamson Brothers Invention of Lastex: the First Stretchable
Clothing.

Percy

borrowed more than $80,000 from James and refused to pay
it back. This story is a product that touched almost every person
on earth, yet which glory was lost in a family disbute. You've
heard of Adam and Eve's sin, but what of Adamson's
fruit of the loom? Lastex's trademark was transferred to the
DuPont's United States Rubber Company in the early 1930s.
Read about the first lawsuit where a partnership was formed on
a verbal agreement.
