Hay Rake Magazine by Arch Bristow (1882-1964) This book is a
reproduction of Arch Bristow's famous humor magazine published about 100
years ago. He began in the newspaper business as a cartoonist with the
owl character "Zimmie," which started in 1902 and became syndicated
nationally. He likely did all the illustrations in the Hay Rake as they
seem to be in his style. He began the self-published monthly magazine
"Hay Rake" in 1920 at the age of 38 in a modest shoemaker's shop in the
hamlet of Garland, PA. He grew it to a subscription of 20,000 in a few
months and continued to publish it till about 1939. Perhaps after his
hair went gray, he was known as the "Sage of Garland." He continued to
write newspaper columns till his death in 1964. This issue; Spring Creek
