Men and Women
A Booklet by O. M. Nelson
I have a copy of the above 44 page booklet. The only claims to
authorship is the simple statement "by O. M. Nelson". There is no
foreward, preface, about the author, published by, or any of the other
usual mechanisms to contact the originator. There is no evidence
of a declared copyright. From my knowledge of Iowa history,
I would date the booklet to 1930 plus or minus 5 years. There are
around 20 additional pages devoted to Swedish advertisers. The booklet
is historically valuable because both the text and ads have specific mentions
of names of people. Included is both historical text and advertisements
from the Kiron area. It is my intention to present a scanned reprint
of the booklet here subject to withdrawal if the original author,
who is unknown at the moment, objects. It is certainly not my intention
to take someones property without their consent.
