This is Home Folks: A Geography for Beginners by J. Russell Smith, a hardcover school geography from The John C. Winston Company, Philadelphia, copyright 1927.

The tan cloth cover shows wear, soiling, and a small white scuff on the front, and there is a spot on some pages and pencil scribbles on the blank back page, while the photographs inside print clearly, as the photos show.

The book opens with a note To Teachers, explaining a new plan to begin geography with how boys and girls live in the country and in the city. Chapters such as The Farm Home, The Chickens, the Eggs, and the Huckster, and Life in a Large City follow children through everyday work and places.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
