Bookmark for Tad Lincoln written by Wayne Whipple

Book and publishing house advertisements certainly come in all shapes and sizes. Calendars, broadsides, pamphlets, envelopes etc. are all part of the ephemera landscape. Here is something I have not shown before-a bookmark.
This bookmark promotes the Tad Lincoln book written by Wayne Whipple and published by George Sully and Company. The bookmark dates to 1926.


Wayne Whipple was the author of numerous books. He wrote seven different series (http://waynewhipple.com/wwseries.html) including the American History Makers and Patriotic Series both published by Altemus as well as the Radio Boy Series and the Bill Brown Series. He penned ten non-series books three of which were Lincoln related.( http://waynewhipple.com/wwnonseries.html)

Among his accomplishments include designing the Peace Flag. This flag won a national contest circa 1912. It was the best of 500 entries submitted and was selected by William Taft. Regardless of the contest results, Whipple's flag never replaced old glory and has been relegated to the footnote pile of forgettable trivia.

  8. Cold sore treatment is a great interest for all of us who suffer those terrible and irritating cold sores.
    You can curb this virus, and keep it dormant, with a good cold
    sore treatment plan. Clutter steals workers' motivation because they expend all their energy just trying to find what they need to begin a task.
