Research notes
Scan has 84 page images. Uploader applied a Public Domain Mark (not independently verified). Catalog season not stated in the title, but the text gives a December 15 ordering deadline. Scan rights: US work published 1929-1963: protection depended on a copyright notice and a renewal filing 28 years later. Retail catalogs were rarely renewed, so many are likely public domain, but no renewal search was done for this edition.
