Thanks for that info. It's amazing to me the think about how dedicated these men were in a time were you had to be part detective, record keeper, filing clerk, letter writer, advertisement author, etc. to even understand what was out there. They also had be a clearing house, I'm sure, accepting all kinds of material in to build their sets, make trades, and sell the unwanted items. It's so different from what we do today as collectors is hard to imagine all of the duties they had to undertake. Each must have spent most of their lives locked alone in a room.
