READ THIS!!!  Clive Coy, a treasured 2Neat customer, studies and collects the American Naturalist-Explorer Roy Chapman Andrews, 1884-1960. Andrews spent his career at the American Museum of Natural History, NYC. Among his assorted exploits was a series of expeditions into Northern China and Mongolia 1916-1930. The best known results were the discovery of the fantastic fossil beds of the Gobi Desert.

In 1919, during his preliminary exploration of Mongolia, Andrews was encamped in the Terelche Forest not far from Urga, the capital of Mongolia, now named Ulaanbaatar. While in camp they received many months of mail which had been forwarded to them from Peking. Among the mail were their magazine subscriptions; Harpers, Asia, and Life. The two photos below show local Mongolian women having a look at THIS Life magazine May 1, 1919 and an issue of Harper’s.
Over the years, Clive had managed to track down all but the Life magazine. 2Neat is very proud to have been able to supply that final issue to him!

Hi Brenda — Thank you for the great Life Magazine of August 5, 1946! It got here Monday and was packaged so incredibly well. There is a lengthy article in the magazine about my son’s great-grandfather and I wanted him to see it and have it. Years ago I saw the magazine and have always wanted to have a copy; now we do! I had no idea that you were just down the road in Salida. Please keep-up the great work, the fantastic products and the incredible service!

Got the magazine. I have been looking for a copy of this Life edition for about 15 years. The original oil painting on the cover by Frank Leyendecker has been in my family for over 80 years and I have always wanted to get a copy of the Life cover.

“Hi Brenda, I received the magazine I purchased from you today. I must say, I cannot thank you enough for your careful packaging. My heart fell when I pulled into my driveway and spotted the envelope lying at my front door in the pouring rain! But I’m thrilled to report that because you had the foresight to wrap the magazine itself in plastic, it was not damaged.
