Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Known for their beautiful covers, this catalog was produced by the Frederick Herrschner in 1951-52. Frederick, a young German immigrant, had a very interesting American dream story. Starting out as a street vendor selling sewing notions from a cart, Frederick sold quality items that satisfied his customers. When these same customers decided to join the mass exodus to the west, they were dismayed to find that no products like Frederick’s existed. So, they sent him a letter and asked if he would mail his goods to them. This led to the development of a catalog, which lasted 125 years.
