The Toiler's Monthly. A Free Lance Wielded for Workingmen by a Workingman. 7th Year / No. 3 (May 8, 1903)

Altoona: Jac. Kinsel, 1903. First Edition. Single octavo issue in original pictorial paper wrappers; 32pp; illus. Slight external wear; internally clean, tightly bound and free of markings or significant wear; Very Good. Progressive, populist, pro-labor monthly devoted primarily to local and regional interests. The editor, Rev. Jacob Kinsel (d. 1938), was a long-time editor of Altoona's Democratic daily The Mirror and an ordained minister in the Church of the Brethren. This publication, which appears to have served primarily as a soapbox for Kinsel's personal political views (and as an promotional medium for local businesses, advertisements for which are numerous), appears rare; not seen in trade; not catalogued in OCLC or PA State Library.

Price: $85.00
