LEVI’S THE STORY OF LEVI STRAUSS "I can lick any man that can get into my clothes." “Levi Strauss” Folks, he was less than five feet five, weighed 90 pounds soaking wet but LEVI STRAUSS became the style-setter for the burgeoning American West. There were lots of ways to find gold in the early days of the western frontier, he did it selling cloth. His name was Levi Strauss and he used to say: As many of you know, I specialize in finding old, rarely seen stories of American Pioneers. I sit on floors in old museums, libraries, antique stores, book places and read and read seeking those who made history on our western frontier. Here is the true story entitled "LEVI'S," by Harry E. Chrisman. Here, the author tells of the tales of true stories of Blue Jeans on the western frontier, including his first pair of blue jeans made for a miner. From miner to engineers, from western scouts to western dudes -- all wore "Levi's" and all loved 'em. Please read this. There were many a western story published – the common ones about cowboy and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones like this one about the founder of ‘bluejeans” – Levi Strauss - are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out cause really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest. Here’s one of ‘em. Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell. This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost. Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive. I hope you appreciate the effort. LEVI’S By Harry E.

Chrisman "BLUE JEANS" BLUE JEAN MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING While others clip ads from magazines, I save history. It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that. What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete western magazine of many years ago. The issue is in good condition, the cover is in vibrant color. As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.
