Frank
L. Smith, Candidate for Governor, 1915. "To the Republican Voters of
Illinois." In March, 1915, Smith formally announced his candidacy for
Governor. By mid July, 1916, two months before the primary, the race came
down to Lowden, Hull and Smith. He lost in the Primary to Lowden on Sept 13,
1916. Lowden 54%, Hull 28%, Smith 18%. He whole-heartedly supported Lowden,
who went on to win the election for Governor in Illinois. Smith stressed his
record as a business man. "Governor is Business Manager. The governorship of
Illinois is an administrative office - in fact as well as in the
contemplation of the constitution. Lack of administrative efficiency there
means bad government, however well-intentioned the Governor may be... The
Governor is the business manager of the public at large. As a business man,
I submit my candidacy to the business judgment of the voters. Frank L.
Smith." Pp 12. 3 x 6 |

for You. Charles Morgan, A. I. A., noted American artist, architect, Chicago
associate of Frank Lloyd Wright, lecturer and entertainer takes the platform
with a brilliant and original modern chalk-talk - Sketching for You.
Sketching for You is a modern chalk-talk, and, therefore, different. In a
simple, highly entertaining and graphic way, Charles Morgan deals with
modern art, architecture and modern life. While producing his amazing
sketches in color, which he does with miraculous speed, he makes his
audience laugh with him as he separates the false from the true in art and
in life. He shows the growth of architecture from ancient times. He explains
what the trend in modern architecture is, and that there is a difference
between modern and modernistic. He deals in principles and makes no
compromise with truth. Sketching is such a joy to Charles Morgan that it is
the most natural thing he does. In a flying trip to Europe, Mr. Morgan
produced an amazing series of sketches in
colors...

"The
Frank Lloyd Wright Testimonial Dinner Invitation."
February 10, 1955. In 1954 the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that Wright
owed $10,000 in back taxes on Taliesin. For years he had argued that
Taliesin was primarily a school and therefore tax exempt. He was so mad he
threatened to destroy Taliesin and move from the state.
Cary Caraway,
a former apprentice suggested that Wright's friends express their
appreciation and take up a collection. Mary Lescohier and Helen Groves made
it happen. 380 supporters gathered in the Great Hall of the U.W. Memorial
Union for a tribute. Wright took the opportunity to display the new Monona
Terrace model. At the end of the program, he received a check for $10.000.

Adventure." Harper, Samuel A., 1955. (Sales brochure) With an Introduction
by Dr. A. J. Carlson, Ph.D., John P. Hixon Distinguished Service Professor
(Emeritus) of Physiology, University of Chicago, etc. Dr. Carlson, Scientist
and Philosopher, calls this book "a new religion, - Humanism" the credo of
which is that "the responsibility for a better mental and physical world is
on you and me, - on man, not on traditional gods and devils." It is a timely
and significant work by a layman who has here written a book in the field of
science for "the common man." This book thus points out the path which man
should follow, and marks some of the vital truths he must learn to use in
realizing his "high adventure." It is the flowering of the life experiences
of a philosopher - lawyer, - fascinating and thought inducing. Price of book

Fallingwater. (Published by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.) "Fallingwater.
The Kaufmann Conservation on Bear Run. Fallingwater, one of Frank Lloyd Wright's
most widely acclaimed works, was designed in 1936 for the family of
Pittsburgh department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann. The site of the famous
house was the Kaufmann family's mountain property in the Bear Run Valley of
Fayette County, Pennsylvania, where they enjoy weekends and summer
vacations... The key to the setting of the house is the waterfall over which
it is built. The falls had been a focal point of the family's activities,
and they had indicated the area around the falls as the location for a home.
They were unprepared for Wright's suggestion that the house rise over the
waterfall, rather than face it. But the architect's original scheme was
adopted almost without change." Brochure for tour information, including

Frank Lloyd Wright's
Fallingwater. (Published by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.) "Fallingwater.
The Kaufmann Conservation on Bear Run. Fallingwater, one of Frank Lloyd Wright's
most widely acclaimed works, was designed in 1936 for the family of
Pittsburgh department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann. The site of the famous
house was the Kaufmann family's mountain property in the Bear Run Valley of
Fayette County, Pennsylvania, where they enjoy weekends and summer
vacations... The key to the setting of the house is the waterfall over which
it is built. The falls had been a focal point of the family's activities,
and they had indicated the area around the falls as the location for a home.
They were unprepared for Wright's suggestion that the house rise over the
waterfall, rather than face it. But the architect's original scheme was
adopted almost without change." Brochure for tour information, including a

History, Washington D.C.) Brochure for traveling exhibition which included
eight cities over three and a half years. The exhibition included a full
size Usonian Home funded by the City of Scottsdale, Arizona.
Frank Lloyd Wright
had a profound faith in the democratic ideal. He developed the Usonian
Automatic system in the 1950s in an effort to provide families adequate
space at moderate cost, a sense of independence, and the fullest notion of
themselves. The house should
not be viewed as Wright's answer to current building problems, but as a
challenge to find answers in imaginative and visionary ideas.
The exhibition
house reproduces an unbuilt Usonian Automatic House designed by Wright in
1955. "Usonian" refers to the United States and "Auto-matic" to the
component construction system.

redwood board and batten exterior with extended cantilevered balconies and
extensive use of glass. An exquisite row of windows displays repeating

The First National Bank of Dwight, Dwight,
Illinois. Frank Lloyd Wright, Architect. (Published by The First
National Bank of Dwight, Dwight, Illinois) Inside: In The First
National Bank of Dwight, Wright created a structure that has stood the test
of time and remains virtually unchanged. Initially designed to house two
separate businesses, it was remodeled in the 1950's to keep abreast with
modern banking conditions and the growth of the institution. The major
change was the lowering of the beamed skylight ceiling in order to install
air conditioning. The oak trim was removed and much of the interior
limestone was covered.
In the 1960's, the bank was remodeled again to restore
the buildings original character. The dividing partition was removed to
allow the bank to occupy the entire space. The original plans were used to
replace the oak trim and to recreate the skylight, which is now lit through
electrical means. Wright believed there was a natural and honest truth in a
building's materials, the exposed brickwork, the natural strength of oak and
even the exposed pillars revealing the building's structure. As a molder of
form and space, Wright experienced the relationship between architecture and
surrounding nature as perhaps no other architect in history, so that his
buildings seem to literally grow out of their environments. 11 x 8.5. Pp 6.

famous projects as the Johnson /wax Building in Racine, Wisconsin, the

significant achievements as an architect and designer... In Minnesota alone

American Art Museum at Renwick Gallery. "Light Screens: The Leaded Glass of
Frank Lloyd Wright. From 1885 to 1923, decorative glass windows were an

100 were completed. These "light screens," as he called them, were specific

Fallingwater. (Published by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.) "The

of the house is the waterfall over which it is built. Historically, the
falls were a focal point of the Kaufmanns" activities, and the family
indicated to Wright their desire to locate their weekend house near them.
Much to their surprise, Wright designed the house to rise above the
waterfall, rather than face it. The Kaufmanns adopted Wright's original
scheme with few changes... The best all-time work of American
