Dave

I have a similar catalog, and it's made to pull the book apart and insert
pages. Looking at the end of chapters, I have a few added pages with dates,
1935 in my case.

We should be able to date it by the models of the saws, prices etc,
comparing to existing catalogs. I also have an 1900 ish Strehlingers, and a
few others.

More later
