This 1912 needlebook has a calendar inside from 1912 -1913. It also has the Betsy Ross elliptic gold eyed sharps German american needles inside. I love what the inside reads ,,,," When these needles are used up we will supply you with more. BUT WHY NOT Send us your laundry. We will do the mending . No laundry anywhere is better equipped to please you than we are. And the more particular you are, the more anxious we are to show our ability. WHite Laundru 1009-1011 Washington ave s Minneapolis Minn." The other side holds the calendar with the needles.
What is particularly ironic is that they offer to do the mending,, yet they give you the needles to do it yourself. One other thing that is sign of the times, is that if you offered that great service today, you would be eating your words as someone tries to prove you can't please them.
The back of the book reads "we do the highest grade of Laundry work at very reasonable prices. We have hundreds of satisfied customers and we can satisfy you . Our delivery service is prompt and reliable. "
So if you are a calendar collector, advertising or sewing collector, or you just love neat old things like this, you can't go wrong with this needlebook. It has it all with friendly service included.
