The African Rubber Industry and ... Funtumia Elastica ("Kickxia")
London: John Bale, Sons & Danielsson, 1911. Hardcover. frontis, photos, index, xvi, 252, plus (8) adverts. 22 cm. Hinges cracked. Ex lib. (John Crerar Library Chicago). Library markings include call number in gilt on backstrip, perforated library name on title-page, black library name stamp on title-page and on blank back of every plate. Despite the extensive library markings and splitting along hinge on front endpaper, this copy seems crisp and perhaps uncirculated. A number of African countries had some involvement in rubber. That involvement is described in the first two chapters (pages [1]-38). Firestone's extensive involvement in Liberia did not begin until the mid 1920s. Very Good. Item #94905
