Paperback. Zustand: Fair. First Edition. 36 pages. Wonderful vintage depression-era hardware/farm catalogue from the Canadian prairies. Marvel at how much a dollar used to be worth. Macleod's had locations from Manitoba to Alberta so the goods presented truly offer an accurate glimpse of prairie life in those days. Items of particular interest include: radios, bob sleds, wheels, horse harnesses and collars, wagon parts, grain grinders, tools, fasteners, cream separators, dairy equipment, auto parts, tires, lighting plants (generators), work clothing, long underwear, breeches, gloves, winter wear, overshoes, boots, coats, a wind-powered electrical generator(!), radio batteries, and more. Lots of wear but binding still intact. Unmarked. A truly amazing keepsake from simpler times. Would make a great gift for someone who still remembers those days.
