W. H. Harrison, Jr., Chicago

Before moving to Chicago in 1885 to establish his publishing business, W. R. Harrison, Jr. was a partner in Toledo in the Harrison & Smith firm. Little else is known about Harrison. There is no evidence that Harrison published any books after 1890.

This firm published T. S. Arthur titles in the exact same style as the Keystone format of John E. Potter & Co. Arthur’s. Potter published 33 titles in this format. So far I have only seen one Harrison Arthur but it is very likely all 33 were published. Holiday Publishing Co. and the Keystone Publishing Co. also published Arthur books in this format.

The "Ten Nights" edition has not been seen but a representative Harrison book is shown below.

Cloth. Various colors presumed. Cover below. 7.5” x 5.25”.
