Facts About the Monroe Calculating Machine Company, Inc., and its Products, Policies, Service. Orange, New Jersey; the Monroe Calculating Machine Company, 1935. 11x8", 133pp (mostly unpaginated), profusely illustrated, and printed on a heavy stock glossy paper. Bound in stiff wrappers, held together with three brass gathering tacks. Very nice copy. There are no copies located in the WorldCat/OCLC. Provenance: the Library of Congress, with their Surplus/Duplicate stamp on the back cover; also stamped with a received date of September 25, 1935. This copy is stamped #509. Seems as though something would pop up on WorldCat about it, but there wasn't one thing; also, there were only two hits for it in a Google search, one of which is a notice for when the work was copyrighted (1935). Also there must be quite a bit of clay in these pages because the publication is quite heavy for its size. $750
