ONE News-Bits of Reading-Berks historical interest.... ================================= ====================== 1- The upcoming PASSING SCENE--Volume 14 is now at the printer. 2- The INDEX to Volume 14, F.Y.I. ======================================================== ======================================================== 1- PASSING SCENE--Volume 14 goes to press tomorrow. In it are 360 actual photographs, ALL of which have been restored. The volume contains 265 pages of photos and 7 pages of index. Hardbound. Encyclopedia-quality coated paper. The reason so many more photos are included in this book than in any previous volume in the series is that MANY then-and-now views are presented for the basis of comparison and reference. Most of the contemporary views are presented as INSETS, usually "up in the sky." Some pages have two insets, such as the rare 1907 photo of the Mory grist mill at Morysville, near Boyertown. The 1907 picture is presented in about 8 by 10 format. In the sky, in the upper left-hand corner, is a photo of the miller's mansion, still standing along the Boyertown Pike (Route 562). In the upper right-hand corner is the mill structure as it now appears. The comparison is surprising... Volume 14, picked up at the Society, is $45---tax included. Volume 14 mailed anywhere is $49.50. More information will be forthcoming shortly, along with other News-Bits. An order form will again be included at the end of the next News-Bits. ================================ ======================= ================================ ======================= THE INDEX: There are two page-number omissions appearing on what follows, and two pairs of repetitious entries. These were corrected in the final copy. Due to the length of the index, part one is being sent today. The remainder will be dispatched tomorrow. ================================ ======================= A Mes Amis (French songs) -- 115 A. A. Fister's General Store - 127, 128 A. S.
