On April 23rd Abbotts hit the 1000 mark in downloads. When we got to 999, we uploaded the first Abbott catalog which we scanned in from one of the few remaining ones from 1934. We thought it was appropriate that this first catalog almost 80 years ago be the 1,000 download. Surely Percy and Recil could not have imagined digital downloads when they published this (according to history, Percy Abbott needed cash for this first catalog which prompted him to partner with Recil Bordner for $1,000), but now folks all over the world can print out this first catalog which is about 25 pages or so with a centerfold middle.
A little over a week later we hit 1100 downloads, we want Abbotts to be your one stop shop for Downloads of all type.
To help keep track of these downloads we have a special pdf file which we update whenever we update the site -
