Rare 1st Edition Southern Pine Garages & How To Build Them 11 Design Floor Plans

Description: Southern Pine Garages & How To Build Them Magazine Ephemera 11 Design Plans 1923. Very rare set of 11 complete design plans from the Southern Pine Garages company. There are some old mildew stains around the edges but other than that, this is in pristine condition. The plans don’t appear to have ever been opened or used as they are still bound by the original staples at the back of the magazine. There are a total of 26 pages, including the front and back cover, which both are not blank pages. They are part of the information provided within the magazine. Here is some more information about this from a listing that Abe Books has online: Scarce early (first?) edition of this nicely illustrated collection of plans. 9" x 12", unfolding to 18" x 12", 24 pp, consisting of introductory text followed by 11 plans, each accompanied by descriptive text and an illustration of the completed structure. Founded in 1915, the Southern Pine Association was a trade organization that engaged in extensive group marketing as well as in the development of standards and quality controls for the lumber industry. According to the website of the organization's current iteration (the Southern Forest Products Association), early members "initiated the practice of forest management in the South. These pioneers, at first ridiculed for what was perceived as naive efforts, slowly led the Southern lumber industry to renewed vigor." This publication, aimed at "the amateur who wants to build his own garage," offers considerations for selecting a design, layout, and location for your garage, full details of all necessary supplies, and a handy table of automobile sizes (apparently for the man who can build a garage but lacks the ability to measure his own car). We find no copies of this edition listed in OCLC, where the earliest copy found dates from 1925. TRADE CATALOGUE) SOUTHERN PINE ASSOCIATION. SOUTHERN PINE GARAGES, AND HOW BUILD THEM.
