1887 MICRO MINIATURE ADVERTISING CHAP BOOK MARRIED AT LAST PISO'S CURE FINE

Description: Featured is a Rare micro miniature copy of a Piso's Cure Advertising Vehicle, circa 1887 ... a Chap Book titled Married at Last which worked the company's leading products into the story line ... tells the story of how 60-year old Mrs Bunker (by courtesy) became Mrs. Wake (by right). Published by Piso's Cures for purposes of advertising its Cure for Consumption and Remedy for Catarrh, respectively. Back cover also advertises local vendor selling Piso products: W E Vandelinder of Dekalb Junction, New York. The book is more specifically known as belonging to the collecting category of Microbibliography. Thus, by virtue of its serving as an "advertisement", this rare "double-header" (by virtue of the fact it exists at all, let alone in such fabulous condition) falls into duel collectible categories of antiquarian books and antique advertising. In "Inches" lingo, the micro book measures 2" x 3". 18 pages. This has been in my personal collection for approximately 30 years.
