Early 20th Century Miller Bros. 101 Ranch Wild West Official Review and History Booklet - This vintage softcover booklet, titled ”OFFICIAL REVIEW AND HISTORY OF THE GREAT WILD WEST MILLER BROS. 101 RANCH WILD WEST,” features a vibrant, multi-color lithographic cover in an early 20th-century American style. The cover prominently displays portraits of Zack T., Joseph C., and George L. Miller, a steer skull, and an oval scene of covered wagons and cowboys, flanked by two swastika symbols. Published by I. M. Southern & Co., N.Y. & C., the interior contains numerous black and white photographs and period advertisements for products such as Pabst Tonic and Beeman's Pepsin Gum (advertised on the back cover). The presence of these historical elements, particularly the pre-WWII use of the swastika symbol, strongly suggests an early 20th-century publication.
