The Detroit Publishing Company was started by publisher William A. Livingstone and photographer Edwin H. Husher. ln 1905 that the company called itself the Detroit Publishing Company. The best-known photographer for the company was William Henry Jackson, who joined the company in 1897. The company acquired exclusive rights to use a form of photography processing called Photochrom. Photochrom allowed for the company to mass-market postcards and other materials in color. We at GetArchive are admirers of their exceptional high-resolution scans of glass negatives collection from the Library of Congress. By the time of World War I, the company faced declining sales both due to the war economy and the competition from cheaper, more advanced printing methods. The company declared bankruptcy in 1924 and was liquidated in 1932.

Cows of History. Extraordinarily beautiful and picturesque are the long-horned, snow white cows of the Tuscan valleys in Italy. Their horns measure about twenty inches across and their silky tails often sweep the ground. Since the war they are becoming very scarce owing to lack of fodder, and land holders are haunted by mythological tales of the Middle Ages when they disappeared altogether. Invaders from the North brought this breed of cattle into Italy and they were so admired by the early Romans that they each year offered up the whitest and most beautiful one as a sacrifice, gilding its horns and garlanding them with rare flowers. The Italian government presented this pair to the Agricultural Colony of the Junior Red Cross of America orphanage and vocational school where several hundred war orphans are learning scientific farming and undergoing training for their future independence
