DescriptionThis publication, The World's Largest Dry Ice Fields in New Mexico, was written in 1937 and is dedicated to Clyde Tingley, a prominent New Mexico politician. The booklet has a distinctive rectangular shape and features a brown cover with interlaced leather along the edges along the top, bottom, and right sides, giving it a handcrafted and durable appearance. The cover includes an image of a vintage car driving through a landscape of tall electronic masts, emphasizing the industrial progress of the time. The title is embossed on the cover, highlighting the significance of New Mexico's dry ice production. Tingley, governor of New Mexico at this time, was a key part of growing industries such as dry ice as America began to move out of the Great Depression.On View
