  (Argentina) CATALOGO DEL DEPARTMENTO DE LIBRERIA, 1920.
N.P. (Buenos Aires) n.p. (Gath & Chaves) 1920 large 12mo. stapled, stiff paper wrappers. 174 pages.
Catalogue of the book dept. of a Buenos Aires business called The South American Stores, Gath & Chaves Ltd. for 1,000's of current titles.

Many titles in French and English. Some modern customers would find this all deplorably primitive: no cat calendars, celebrity bio's, swimsuit issues, pop-psych tomes, or messages from UFO's. And how did they dare offer all those foreign-language books without a proper, correct multicultural section? Wrappers soiled, rather loose.
