1910 Buffalo Bill's Wild West & Pawnee Bill's Far East Show Program For Sale

---

In 1910 Buffalo Bill Cody began what would become a 3 year "Farewell" Tour with a combined show of his own "Wild West" and Pawnee Bill's "Far East". This Program is from the 1910 season and was sold on site at performances of the Show. There was a separately issued "Daily Event Program" which is often found tipped in or inserted into examples of the Souvenir Booklet offered here. The Program offered here does include the 8 page insert at the front with an actual list of events in the performance.

The front cover of the Program is chromolithographed and features a full figure portrait of William “Buffalo Bill” Cody dressed in his trademark buckskin jacket and hip high boot extenders. Cody has removed his hat and is saluting the unseen crowd and in the opposite hand he holds a repeating rifle (likely a Winchester). In the background is an image of a Native American Indian Village and at the lower right hand corner a conjoined bust portrait of Cody and Pawnee Bill. The rear cover is blank but the inside covers feature full page chromolithograph advertisements for Walter Baker Chocolate (inside front) and Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer (inside back cover).

Besides the numerous photographic and artistic images and text contained in the Booklet, there are also a number of advertisements for very early automobiles, cigars, firearms, etc.

B-5 pages; "Major Gordon W. Lillie-Pawnee Bill" - 2 pages; "A Horse's Tale" by Mark Twain - 2 pages; "Headquarters Division of the Missouri" by Brig. General W. F. Cody, From Gen.

Important Notes about Shipping Charges:

The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a $1.00 "packing fee" - the $1.00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the $1.00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.
