Jew
Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning
A classic World War I song from famed composer Irving Berlin, this sheet music is part of the Bella C. Landauer Collection of Aeronautical Sheet Music held in the National Air and Space Museum Library. The cover includes a photograph of comedian and singer Eddie Cantor, who performed the song in the Ziegfeld Follies. An excellent example of Americana from the early 20th century.
Julius Rosenwald
Julius Rosenwald (1862–1932) was a businessman, billionaire and philanthropist. His net worth was $80M at death (equaling about $1.4B today). He was half owner of Sears--he saved the company during the infamous financial panic of 1893--and he donated millions to educating African Americans in the South in the 1920s. He also donated to the Tuskegee Institute. In this biography, Mr. Ascoli paints a portrait of Julius Rosenwald, aka, "JR." This book, which was signed by the author, has 450 pages and features black and white photographs.
The Royal No.10 Cook Book
The Adath Joseph Sisterhood of St. Joseph, Missouri was a Jewish Ladies Auxilary in the nation's breadbasket. This recipe compilation is undated, but based on the Arts & Crafts design on the cover, printing fonts, and presence of vintage Schlitz and Budweiser beer ads, we can assume The Royal No. 10 Cook Book was published in the second decade of the 20th century, predating the Prohibition era.
