North Pacific Coast--A Semi-Monthly Journal, Near Complete Run 1879-1881

New Tacoma, Washington Territory: North Pacific Coast Publishing Company, 1879-1881. North Pacific Coast--A Semi-Monthly Journal, Devoted to Home Life, Schools, Agriculture, Horticulture, Commerce, Mines, Manufactures and other Resources of Washington Territory, North Pacific Coast Publishing Company, New Tacoma, Washington Territory, 1879-1881. 11 3/4 x 9 inches, serial pagination, 1-96, 113-180, 1-72.

Near Complete Run 1879-1881 with only Vol. 1 No. 7 missing. Vol. 1-6 bound together as advertised on front wrapper. Remaining issues are 'Single Numbers' Issues. Only four issues have wrappers, but it is unknown whether all issues were published with wrappers, although it might be safe to assume all were published with wrappers as paid ads cover three of the four pages of the wrapper. All issues show some amount of wear and toning. One wrapper moderately soiled. Vol. 1 No. 12 consists of only four pages which we assume is only a partial issue. Most issues are 16 or more pages. Overall, good to very good.

A very early "New" Tacoma, Washington Territory based "Journal". As the subtitle states, this publication is "Devoted to Home Life, Schools, Agriculture, Horticulture, Commerce, Mines, Manufactures and other Resources of Washington Territory."

From inside the front wrapper we find this statement, "The 'North Pacific Coast,' will hereafter be issued Quarterly and Semi-Monthly. The North Pacific Coast is gaining favor with the public at home and abroad, and its circulation is constantly increasing. It is therefore an excellent advertising medium."

A short-lived effort only lasting three years. Extremely scarce and hard to find in a nearly complete run.

Comes with custom made clamshell box with gilt title on spine. Item #2156
