Kathleen Loreck Collection

Stephen Loreck writes:

These labels were collected by my mother from about 1950 until her death in 1993. She and my father were book scouts and haunted the Goodwill and Salvation Army book departments throughout the Midwest, but particularly southeast Wisconsin. They would often buy a book just for the label.

The labels are all mounted on 3x5 cards with stamp hinges, but no notations as to the book to which they were attached.
