Designed products and advertising no end for top-drawer New York Agencies, Chase Brass & Copper, Oneida community (silverware, etc.) and yards of others. Designed packages all over the industrial and commercial world. Keeps to himself a lot. Averages 20,000 miles a year in his Franklin, enjoying New England. Is meticulous in his work. Plays Masterworks music while he labors. His midtown Manhattan studio in the Beaux Arts Apartments is a delight to see and sit in. Makes delicious fried cheese sandwiches, coffee. Has no etchings." I just acquired a nice group of his books and art work and will be listing it on ebay, keep watch. the stuff is amazing.....IF YOU LIKE THIS ONE, CHECK OUT THE OTHER ITEMS IN MY STORE CATEGORY----WILL GERTH ITEMS or WILL GERTH ART This broadside is a proclamation by the Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, John A.
