It Ain't Easy Being Green

Book of S&H Green Stamps.

Found in "The Week-end Library: Issue of 1930" published by Doubleday and Doran.

From Wikipedia:

S&H Green Stamps were trading stamps popular in the United States from the 1930s until the late 1980s. They were distributed as part of a rewards program operated by the Sperry & Hutchinson company (S&H), founded in 1896 by Thomas Sperry and Shelley Byron Hutchinson. During the 1960s, the company promoted its rewards catalog as being the largest publication in the United States and boasted that it issued three times as many stamps as the U.S. Postal Service. Customers would receive stamps at the checkout counter of supermarkets, department stores, and gasoline stations among other retailers, which could be redeemed for products in the catalog.

Despair

Former owner Dora H. Breuer's name and date, 1907, along with this bit of verse:

Man-like is it to fall into sin,
Friend-like is it to dwell therein,
Christ-like is it for sin to grieve,
God-like is it all sin to leave.

Where unto is money good?
Who has it no wants hardihood,
Who has it has much trouble + care,
Who one has had it has despair.

Found written in "Marian Grey" by Mary J. Holmes. Published by New York Publishing, ca. 1907.
