Up for sale is a unique piece of Louisiana regional history: an antique, mass-market \"Pronouncing Edition\" King James Version Holy Bible, printed expressly for the historic Kress Stores chain. The New Testament features an 1899 text copyright by Louis Klopsch. Based on the publisher\'s retail partnership with S.H.

1. A vintage **1955 Zachary Broncos High School Football Schedule** pocket card featuring classic Coca-Cola advertisement branding (noting home games played at Wedges Kyes Stadium in Baker, LA).
2. A poignant **1939 newspaper birth announcement clipping** from Our Lady of the Lake Sanitarium for Mary William Gay, detailing a tragic regional motorcycle accident involving her father, William Powell Gay.---### Condition Report
