The book is No. 8 in a series called 'Keepsakes,' all numbers of which show the skillful hand of Mr. Anthoensen, to whom we are also indebted for a neat bit of historical research." This unique copy from the personal books of Press owner Fred Anthoensen (1882-1969), without identifying marks, but acquired by us from a family member contemporary with Fred in the 1950s and 1960s, now a nonagenarian.
