CHATTERBOX COVERS
Dana Estes - Boston

|
A change in partnership at Estes & Lauriat in 1898 brought a change of name to Dana Estes & Co., with the retail division operating separately as the Charles E. Lauriat Co.. The new Estes book list was much like the old one -- that is, fine arts, travel books, deluxe editions and children's books. When Dana Estes died in June 1909 the publishing house appeared to change little, although it is clear the new owners took advantage of his death and cashed in on the Chatterbox name. A series of Chatterbox Birds / Cats & Dogs / Horses / Pictures / Soldiers were printed in 1909 & 1910 (but not subsequently). Quite abruptly in 1913, for reasons still unclear, there was a sudden drop in both quantity and quality of the Estes list. No-one was surprised when in 1914 the company was acquired by the L.C. Page & Company for a bargain price.
