Missing Titles in C. D. Smith Welte Rollography
By John McClelland

Greetings all,  In Charles Davis Smith's marvelous Welte book, there
are about 200 or so missing titles; the numbers are there but roll
details are not.

I was wondering if any subscribers have run across, or have in their
collection, some of those missing titles and artists, and would be
willing to share them with others.  I found several in various collec-
tions I have visited, but the box ends are so dark or dirty that all I
can make out is the roll number and little else.  (I photograph the box
ends and enter the information into a data base after returning home).
I seem to remember several of these missing titles surfacing in an AMICA
bulletin article several years ago.

Regards,

John McClelland
