Winter was tile-making season, and this January 1884 issue takes you inside the Illinois Tile-Makers' Convention: the year's business, how to grow demand, the machinery, and the argument between buried drains and open ditches. Prize stock gets its due too. A working record of the drainage boom that remade the prairie.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
