e’re taking the opportunity to toot our own horn a bit this month. We are proud to have been recognized by the Kansas City Press Club of the Society of Professional Journalists in receiving gold and silver awards in its annual Heart of America competition among regional media outlets.

Discover Vintage America’s

awards came in the Trade and Specialty Publication category. Editor Leigh Elmore and Art Director Patti Klinge took the silver award for “Best Business to Business” publication. Columnist Ken Weyand received a silver award for his account of “Small town missed an aviation bonanza.” Elmore took home a gold award for feature writing with his “Amish and Antiques – The Synergy of Jamesport” article that appeared in the July 2015 issue. He also won a silver award for the feature on “Paxico’s Old Stoves” that appeared in February 2015. Those of us at Discover Vintage America do what we do because we love the antiques and vintage trade and the history of our region. But we appreciate the recognition from our peers. It puts a little more pep in our steps!

...Three new fine-scale miniature works were recently unveiled at the National Museum of Toys and Miniatures ™ in Kansas City. “Treasures of the Kings: 18th Century French Interiors in Miniatureâ€? highlights Louis XV and Louis XVI royal furniture arranged in two room settings from the Palace of Versailles and one from the Palace of Fontainebleau. The centerpiece of the collection is Denis Hillman’s Bureau du Roi. The works are on long-term loan from Ede & Ravenscroft, the oldest tailor in London and the exclusive provider of robes for the British Royal Family. One of the most gifted fine-scale miniature artists of the 20th century movement, Denis Hillman, crafted a collection of French furniture in celebration of the company’s 300th anniversary as Purveyors of Royal Robes to the Crown. King Louis XV commissioned the Bureau du Roi (King’s desk) in 1760. Hillman’s vercontinued on page 12

Two images from the Mary Everhard photographic collection on display at the Black Archives Museum in St. Joseph (photos courtesy Black Archives Museum)

...An exhibit of historic photographs, “Images from the Mary Everhard Photographic Collectionâ€? is currently on exhibit at the Black Archives Museum of the St. Joseph Museums. Everhard ran a photography studio in Leavenworth, KS, from 1922 to 1968. She was a gifted studio photographer and a photography archivist. As she pursued her craft, she also made it her goal to acquire and preserve thousands of images taken by four professional photographers who recorded images of Leavenworth County people and places. For this exhibit, the Black Archives Museum showcases selected images of African Americans from her collection.  The Black Archives Museum was able to obtain the images of African Americans from the Mary Everhard photograph collection and prepare them for exhibition though a grant from the Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area. The Black Archives Museum, 3406 Frederick Ave., is open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and on Sunday, 1-5 p.m. For more information on St. Joseph Museums, exhibits, programs, and events, call 816-232-8471 or visit www.stjosephmuseum.org/events. Â

...Sinking your roots in one place has its advantages; memories are never far from view. “See those marks on the ceiling?� Betty Thaller asks, pointing up inside her and husband David’s store on Main Street in Higginsville. “Our son Anthony was raised in the store, napped in the closet and those marks came from him bouncing a Super Ball from floor to ceiling.� Betty and David own the Emporium Shops on Main Street. To say the Thallers are life-long residents of Higginsville is no exaggeration. Both were born on Main Street but “in different doctors’ hospitals,� Betty said. David’s family owned an appliance store in Higginsville and he grew up in the business. Years later his brother took the family business toward commercial refrigeration and David opened continued on page 13

Mid-America News, continued from page 12 an antique shop. Both David and Betty remained deeply involved in the community. Betty found a calling as a United Church of Christ minister, since retired, and David devoted his energies to the local Cub and Boy Scout pack and troop especially the Pinewood Derby competition. For a time they kept the Emporium Shops closed but decided in mid-2014 to open the store again. Retirement brought more time and as Betty put it, “We like visiting with customers and we get visitors from all over the world.� The shop is known for its large selection of lamp repair parts and vintage cookware and household items. One specialty item is a hammer dulcimer repurposed from parts of a piano circa 1900. One corner of the shop is David’s museum. Currently, it displays antique pull toys, insulators, old mixers and David’s collection of antique toasters. “It gets changed every three or four months,� says David. “It’s a display and conversational piece.� Betty objects in good humor by saying, “Who ever heard of an antique shop with a display.� The antique toasters surely are items to talk about. David is always on the lookout for more toasters but what he has isn’t for sale. “I’m a collector,� David says. In the future David hopes to get his HO and G scale trains up and running in the store. They would likely complement his displays plus, one suspects, David keeps his youthful outlook by tinkering with them.

...The Leavenworth County Historical Society is making progress in its fundraising campaign to acquire the vast collection of photographic negatives first collected in Leavenworth and, for the last 50 years, have been owned by photographer and collector David Phillips of Chicago. An exhibit of over-sized prints, made by Phillips from some of the negatives the society hopes to acquire are currently being featured at the Carroll Mansion Museum, 1128 Fifth Avenue, through Sept. 5. “No explanation can sufficiently describe this collection of prints with their fine detail and clarity of a bygone era of the First City of Kansas,� said Mary Ann Brown, historic society president. “One must actually see for themselves to appreciate the work of pioneer photographers E.E. Henry, Harrison Putney, Richard Stevenson and his son Horace and the enhancement photography done by Mr. Phillips to bring each negative to life.� The history of Leavenworth and the early west, captured by

COVERING QUILTS

by Sandra Starley

Churn Dash or Monkey Wrench? H

ave you been churning butter or fixing wagons recently? If not, then you might appreciate a bit of background information on the origins of the two most common names for this versatile nine patch pattern. “Churn Dash” is based on the block’s similarity to a dash or dasher; the crossshaped paddle in the center of a butter churn. “Monkey Wrench” is based on the block’s resemblance to a fixed carriage or wagon wrench and also to adjustable wrenches (look at the top row of the block and visualize the gripping teeth of a wrench). The block and these names have been around since about 1855 with the first publication in 1884 as “Double Wrench” in Farm and Fireside magazine. Many quilt historians have discussed the origins of the two names. In 1915, Marie Webster, noted that, “inanimate objects, particularly those about the house, inspired many names for patterns” and mentioned both block names. Similarly in 1929, Ruth Finley, observed “A source of quilt name inspiration quite as rich as political feeling was found in the trades and occupations of the times. … ‘The Double Monkey Wrench,’ ‘The Churn Dash’… all these are names, previously noted, that came from women’s familiarity with old-time callings.” And in 1931, Ruby McKim wrote that, “The wrench design is an authentic, old time quilt pattern, and a very typical one too.” These utilitarian names were familiar to early quilt makers well acquainted with Butter Churns and Wrenches along

vor of the fabrics, setting and sashing used. Modern quilters are using this characteristic to make this traditional block their own. They are making wonky versions, block in block versions and using crisp, clean, modern colors. Recently, on the modern blog circuit, there have been at least three “churn dash quilt alongs” evidencing the continued popularity of this timeless pattern. And speaking of modern, both of the quilts shown here are antiques but have a very fresh feel. A wild version, fondly called “Monkey Business,” pictured, shows the visual impact of an unusual pieced diamond sashing. And the unusual Amish version, close to 100 years old, would be the star of

any modern quilt show. The uneven fading of two different purples has created an unexpected and innovative color placement with striking diagonal movement from light to dark. While the original quilter would be dismayed, you can color me inspired and I hope you’ll be inspired too!

with Broad Axes, Holes in the Barn Doors, Hens and Chickens, and Shoo Flies (additional names for the blocks). Regardless of which one of the 40-plus published names is used, the block is a variation of a nine patch; composed of a center square, halfsquare triangle corners with four rectangle sets or squares in between. The blocks are pieced as either an even nine patch or uneven nine patch. Don’t be confused, the names

Monkey Wrench and Churn Dash have been used interchangeably for many years to refer to both versions. Pattern designers are probably responsible for some of the romantic names for the blocks like: True Lover’s Knot, Bride’s Knot and Love Knot. This simple block can have a soft feel made in pink and white but in browns and shirtings has quite a masculine feel. The block is a true chameleon taking on the fla-

So in America, there is a blurring between trained and folk artists. Some of the portraits indicate that these were some of the best trained artists in their area.

values, national symbols, and personal narratives are stitched together to showcase American creativity and resourcefulness, according to Mindy Besaw, Crystal Bridges curator. “The artworks in the exhibition demonstrate a high level of skill and help chronicle everyday life of early Americans, as well as themes of patriotism and politics,” she said. The exceptional variety in materials, subject matter, and scale can be seen throughout American Made. A few examples include a set of 4-inch tall, delicately crafted paper figurines of horses and soldiers used as children’s toys post-Revolutionary War; a sprawling 6 x 7-foot embroidered silk map quilt of the United States that creates a snapshot of the nation’s geography in the late 1800s; and a weathervane featuring an 8-foot tall copper figure of the Delaware Indian leader, Tammany -- possibly the largest surviving American weathervane.

After the Revolutionary War ended in 1781, the development of American identity and American art progressed along similar paths. “The United States began as a grand experiment in selfgovernance, in which each citizen became a self-reliant participant,” Besaw said. “The idea of being ‘selftaught’ became especially important to early American artists, who adopted the term as a point of pride.

Objects in the exhibition were selected specifically for Crystal Bridges by the curators of the American Folk Art Museum. “We are dedicated to reaching new audiences and having them discover the beauty and power of folk art to testify, inspire, move, and inform from a perspective that is unique in American art,” said Stacy C.

pendence, self-realization, and self-direction as the nation cultivated a new, cohesive American identity.� The artworks in this exhibition were not shown and appreciated in art museums until the 1920s and 1930s. This gradual shift of folk art from everyday life to the walls of museums began with a growing desire to connect with an authentic American past. In the early 20th century, a small but influential group of artists, curators, dealers, collectors, and critics started collecting and exhibiting American folk art. Their renewed interest drew attention to art forms that had previously existed primarily as household goods. For the first time, the work of selftaught American artists was integrated into the larger context of the fine arts, and the ordinary objects that once filled lives and homes were recognized as extraordinary. “Folk art embodies a uniquely American character that resonates with many of us,� says Besaw. “The art-

work in ‘American Made’ highlights the role folk art has played in the creation of a national identity. The exhibition also complements Crystal Bridges’ own collection of paintings and sculpture and broadens our definitions of American art.�

MICHELLE KNOWS ANTIQUES

by Michelle Staley

Campeche chairs were favored for front-porch lounging Q

I read an article on Monticello’s original U.S. Campeche chair and was hoping to get some advice. My family has had this chair in its estate and we have always referred to as a Contour Chair. It would date certainly from 1900 as my grandfather was the collector and his father-in-law owned the local general store. The chair has been reupholstered and had some reinforcement boards added, all of which is unnoticeable. Similar chairs rarely, if ever, appear for sale or in many catalogs. It is incredibly comfortable and desirable. How can I get the chair appraised to sell?

A

Thank you very much for your question. I am very familiar with the Campeche chair and others of a similar style. To give a true and accurate assessment of your family’s chair I would need to evaluate it in person but I can give you some basic information from the photo you supplied. Versions of this style of chair date back to the 1500s. The Campeche chair and its variations are characterized by lateral non-folding x-shaped bases, leather backs and reclined backs and seats. The Campeche chair, aka Bataca chair, was introduced by Spanish colonists to Louisiana where they became very popular among the French Creole aristocracy. The leather-seated chair made of ox or mule hide, stretched over a mahogany frame was perfect for lounging on the porch of a plantation home for several reasons; it was extremely comfortable and was free of bugs unlike upholstered furniture. Cargo manifests from 1800-1825 show the Campeche or Bataca chairs being shipped to New Orleans and towns up and down the Mississippi River from coastal towns in Yucatan, the Mexican town of Campeche, Veracruz and Sisal. As to Thomas Jefferson’s fondness for the Campeche chair or “Campeachy” chair was well known and mentioned in several letters. On March 8, 1827, Joseph Coolidge (1798–1879), the husband of Thomas Jefferson’s granddaughter Ellen W. Randolph Coolidge (1796– 1876), wrote to Nicholas P. Trist (1800–1874), another of Jefferson’s grandsons-in-law, regarding the distribution of the Monticello, Virginia, estate: “Ellen now desires me to say that if you can procure the Campeachy chair, with [Jefferson’s] initials, she wishes you to do so, at any price.”* The current location of the chair is unknown, though a mahogany example with a scallop crest that descended in the Trist family to Thomas

Jefferson Trist (1828–1890) is now at Monticello. The Jefferson family’s use of Campeches is verified in other letters, including one that Virginia Randolph Trist (1801–1882) wrote to her sister Ellen shortly after her wedding to Coolidge: “He [Jefferson] misses you sadly every evening when he takes his seat in one of the campeachy chairs, & he looks so solitary & the empty chair on the opposite side of the door is such a melancholy sight to us all.”* In 1809, Thomas Jefferson returned to his “dear Monticello” after he completed his second term as president. With his financial resources now considerably diminished, he turned to the skilled slave woodworkers,

who had helped build the plantation, to construct many of the furnishings for Monticello. Campeche chairs were favorites for Jefferson, and it took him many letters and more than 10 years to get a Campeche chair sent from New Orleans. In Jefferson’s time it was known as a “lolling chair” or “hammock chair”; Jefferson called it a “Campeachy hammock.” The mahogany for the original chairs came from the Mexican province of Campeche, thus the name of this style of chair. The first chair that Jefferson ordered was lost in a shipwreck. When he finally

received a chair in 1819, he had several copies made by enslaved plantation woodworker John Hemmings. The chair has a distinctive X-shaped base, curvy arms and elegant top rail. Jefferson found the design very comfortable for reading and relaxing. As to the chair that you have, the base is in the style of the Campeche chair and the top rail would also fit in to the style of a contemporary Campeche but the upholstered arms, seat and back are not in the traditional styling. You mentioned that the chair had been reupholstered at some point so it is possible that the original leather was removed and replaced with fabric with the addition of the padded fabric rests on the arms. As for a true “contour chair” these became popular in the 1950s, a photo is included with this article and you can

around $2,000. With the alterations to your chair the value drops a great deal because the original leather is gone.

see the distinct difference between the two chairs. The contour chair was not popular for very long as it was quite the eyesore, bulky and costly for the time. Recent public sale prices for a Campeche chair from the 1900s, in very good to excellent condition, are

guarantee that your question will be answered or published.

Traveling with Ken by Ken Weyand

Chautauqua comes to a small town in 1910 T oday it may seem unthinkable, as we enjoy instant access to every form of entertainment and culture via the Internet and TV, that there was a time when people were literally starved for such things. Before radio and motion pictures introduced “mass entertainment” in the 1920s, most of America’s rural population waited until Chautauqua came to town, then drove to the county seat to attend the “tent shows.” Chautauqua began as a religion-centered movement in 1874 on the shores of Lake Chautauqua, in upstate New York. The original “Chautauqua assemblies” featured lectures by noted reformers, ministers, and populist leaders. Later, as Keith Vawter and others developed touring, or “tent Chautauquas,” other forms of entertainment took over, including comedy and variety acts, and musical performances. In the days before good roads, Chautauqua performers traveled by train to railroad towns, and performed before large crowds of mostly farm families who had arrived in buggies and wagons. Later, as automobiles became popular, rural people began to have more options, including attending movies in larger towns, or staying at home and listening to the new-fangled invention that was sweeping the country: radio. My mother, Mabel Ferrester, was a Chautauqua performer. Her career began in 1920 and

spanned four years, taking her from remote parts of Canada to the deep South, and through much of the eastern U.S. A violinist and vocalist, she performed with several troupes, including the Harmony Troupe in Canada, J.C. Lockhart and His Scotch Lassies (she was one of the Lassies), the Metropolitan Concert Company, the Bessie Banks Entertainers, and the John Ross Reed Company. My mother’s Chautauqua

J. Coates Lockhart and His Scotch Lassies attracted Chautauqua fans.

adventures were recorded in her diary and letters and cards she wrote to her parents. I have included them in an e-book, Fiddling with Friends in the 1920s. When she could, she attended other Chautauqua events in her hometown,

featured the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, a 19-piece ensemble. The promoters insisted that the orchestra was “an absolute necessity in the culture of a community.” On the program were “The Bohannans, Musical Entertainers.” Bohannan was a baritone; his wife a pianist and soprano. Also featured were “The Raweis,” a family of native New Zealanders, “who have been civilized and educated.” Their program featured “quaint love ballads, plaintive canoe-songs, and weird, impressive tribal ceremonies.” The Sara Ruth Bates Company consisted of a “Ladies Quartette, Violin, Whistler, Soprano and a Reader.” Other troupes included “Edwin Brush, Magician,” “The Boston Lyrics,” a trio with “vocal and Programs show that Kahoka hosted a variety of Chautauqua instrumental music, readings shows over the years. (all photos Ken Weyand collection) and cartoons,” Ross Crane, a “cartoonist and clayKahoka, in northeast modeler,” the Euclid Missouri. Along with other Male Quartette, the Chautauqua paraphernalia, Ernest Gamble she saved several of the Concert Party, and programs, beginning in 1910.

Other featured children. Single admission lecturers, the 1913 program troupes were the “Metropolitan Ladies Orchestra,” and Lulu Tyler Gates, who offered a “charming repertoire of monologue entertainment.” Later in the schedule, Elizabeth Dombourajian, an Armenian woman, presented a lecture on Turkey. Another group, “The Famous Shuman Quintet,” was said to be “putting ragtime out of business by playing high grade music in a popular way.” Finally, there was the Chicago Glee Club, described as a “male trombone quartet, … one of the most artistic and pleasing novelties ever presented.” My mother attended several days of Chautauqua on summer vacation from Illinois College in Jacksonville. In her 1914 diary she wrote that “crowds were immense and the weather was hot.” She enjoyed the musical troupes, but was most impressed by the lecturers, calling Lulu Tyler Gates “the best I ever heard.” Little did my mother know that six years later she herself would become a Chautauqua trouper.

GOOD EYE

by Peggy Whiteneck

Promotion means piquing customer interest I

f you have your own shop and have never done much advertising or are a dealer in a multi-dealer shop under ownership of someone who can’t be convinced of the value of advertising, there are, nevertheless, advertising initiatives ranging in cost and maintenance time that you can take on your own to promote your business. Options include: a Facebook page for your business, a oneto-two page periodic newsletter featuring your inventory, posters you can place on public bulletin boards or give out as flyers in selected locations, ads on community internet forums, newspaper ads (classified or display), radio ads. But advertising is just one aspect of business promotion. Many antique shops and malls run special sale months to entice buyers, especially toward the end of the calendar year when dealers may particularly want to move out old merchandise. The drawback to this approach is that it is usually a shop-wide promotion based on price alone and, unless your discounts are really deep, your sales promotion won’t stand out over anyone else’s. So here’s an alternative idea: Capitalize on holidays, seasons, or even items in the news to promote selected items in your display rather

than do blanket discounts on everything in your display. Running, on a regular basis (say, once a month or every other month), a promotion of half a dozen items is something you can do independently and at your own discretion, regardless of what anyone else in the shop is doing. It’s a different enough approach to get noticed by shoppers – and, if it’s done regularly, shoppers will even come to anticipate it. Make it colorful. For example, without any crass direct references, dealers can capitalize on customer awareness of Great Britain’s “Brexit� from the EU to promote British antiques and collectibles, such as English silver or china and porcelain produced by British companies. For each selected item, use cutouts to make small, colorful card tags (British flags in this instance, or red hearts for Valentine’s Day, or a maple leaf for an autumn promotion) to accent the selected pieces, perhaps including a price discount on those items. Then post a small flyer with that particular promotion’s symbol in your booth or case that says, “Watch for special items with this symbol!� You can find free, easy-to-cut-out images in your word processor’s clip-art program or online.

Imagine five or six of these tags with their little Union Jack (or heart or maple leaf or pick your symbol) on selected items dispersed throughout your display. On the back wall of your case or booth, place a larger poster with the selected symbol that says, “Watch for special promotions with this symbol!� In this example, you’re capitalizing subliminally on customer awareness of the recent Brexit without ever directly alluding to it. Build an incentive to buy into the price, and voila! You’ve given a shopper’s tired eyes a reason to focus – on YOUR inventory! Do it regularly, with a different symbol and inventory each time, and you even given customers a reason to make your shop or display a “destination site� when they’re out shopping.

This approach has several advantages. Browsers in shops and multi-dealer malls frequently complain that there’s so much to see, and so densely packed (to phrase it politely), that shoppers begin

inventory, thereby increasing the potential for a buy. The strategy also gives the dealer the opportunity to give a bit more information about the selected item by using a card that can be smaller than a standard index card but still larger than the postage stampsizes most of us use for tags. Plus it gives the dealer the opportunity to highlight items that may have been hanging around in inventory for a while but that may get lost in the shop’s visual clutter. Finally, running these promotions on a regular basis will lead customers to expect and anticipate them, thereby making your shop or display a “destination spot� for shoppers. New customers are great, of course, but repeat customers are the ultimate goal of business promotion.

to suffer from a case of visual indigestion that can result in their premature exit from the shop. The “highlight a few� with a small, colorful card on just a few items gives the eyes a chance to focus on selected

these photographers using the early techniques of the profession, have given details of many historic moments. Examples of the work of each photographer is on display at the museum and features panoramas of 1860s Leavenworth, views of Delaware and Shawnee streets, the first railway depot, the electric streetcar, the steamboat Luella, the 1871 railroad bridge over the Missouri River, and enlarged portraits as well as examples of stereoptic negative prints. Prints range from poster size to 7 to 10-feet long panoramas. In the early 20th century, Mary Everhard, a photographer and studio owner in Leavenworth, first cared for and conserved the collection of glass plate negatives gathered from four photographers. The Reclaiming History Campaign Committee of the Leavenworth County Historical Society at the Carroll Mansion Museum announced the fund-raising effort has realized more than $60,000 in contributions since the launch of the capital campaign last fall. “Mr. Phillips has indicated that if the campaign can additionally raise $100,000 by December 31, 2016, he will donate the last $100,000 of the purchase price,” Brown said.

by Leigh Elmore

Tiny homes are a big deal in housing

T

here’s big trend in American housing preferences – toward tiny houses. Perhaps as a reaction to all the “McMansions� eating up large lots in sprawling Suburbia, some families are opting for more sustainable lives in homes that might only fit in the great room of some contemporary houses. Author Kerri Fivecoat-Campbell in her recently released book, Living Large in Our Little House, takes the reader on a highly personalized journey through the housing history that she and her husband, Dale, created from their first suburban Kansas City house to the tiny cabin they built in the Arkansas Ozarks. Their journey encompasses not only the downsizing of their material lives but also the transition they made from city folks to rural Ozark denizens. Fivecoat-Campbell has written extensively about the tiny house movement on her Living Large blog and for Parade.com and has become a go-to spokesperson for the tiny house movement. She not only relates the nuts and bolts of finding their home site, the physical challenges and the progress of realizing their dreams.

Fivecoat-Campbell and her husband realized that by living smaller, they were in fact, living large. They were not spending extra time cleaning and maintaining the house,

but had the freedom to pursue their hobbies; they did not waste money on things they didn’t need; and they grew emotionally (as well as physically) closer. They both realized that living large is less about square footage and more about a state of mind. And in their case, their state of mind includes six dogs! The author also relates the stories of more than a dozen other families who have

adapted to tiny houses and how that process has changed their lifestyles. On the whole, the proponents of the movement are looking for more sustainable lives and are naturally highly independent. Living Large will walk readers through the financial advantages of small space living. It will define and help readers determine the best house size for their needs. It teaches how to scale down to the essential to be surrounded by only things you love. It demonstrates how to make use of outdoor space. And it even gives tips on entertaining and decorating. She is not a minimalist by any means, and the couple has augmented their storage issues with separate outbuildings and a writer’s cabin. Others in the movement have filtered their possessions down to a precious few. Whatever the point of view, Fivecoat-Campbell shows that the movement consists of all kinds of people and in all kinds of “neighborhoods.� The house must fit the circumstances.
