Mershon Company 1897-1904, 1906
Mershon published its Rollo's in several different series. The
Wideawake Series and the Rollo's Tour in Europe (10 titles in five
volumes) are the most well known. The ten Rollo books also
appeared in the post-1902 Regal Series, Standard Series and
Standard Sixteen Mos. Series. The names of the other series are as
of yet unknown.
Dating the Mershon books exactly can be difficult. These books can
be divided into 1897-Early 1902 and later 1902-1906. The
1897-early 1902 books' imprints only have New York. The later
books also list the Rahway, N.J. location.
