San Diego: [ca. 1966]. 16pp. Oblong quarto. Original pictorial self wrappers, stapled. Printed entirely in blue ink. Some staining and wrinkling to covers, waterstain and minor chipping at bottom of gutter throughout, occasionally affecting a few words. Good. Item #4071

A seemingly unrecorded and ephemeral souvenir program published to coincide with the dedication ceremonies for the Refuge Church of God of the Apostolic Faith in San Diego, California. The work contains a biography of the pastor, Bishop John Harry Cannon, along with portraits of him and his large family, as well as a couple dozen photographs of fellow parishioners and the church itself. The final six pages of the work are comprised of advertisements for local businesses, including gas stations, auto shops, a record store, laundry services, markets, and more. The proposed date for the program comes from an ad for Ed Taylor Chevrolet who offers a 1966 Impala for the low, low price of $2566. We could locate no copies of this informative program from an African-American church in San Diego in OCLC or elsewhere.

Price: $350
