	Reasons for Saving Match Covers
		Actually, the first book matches were invented and made back in 1892 by a Philadelphia patent attorney named, so help us, Joshua Pusey, but the Diamond Match Company, which more or less is the match industry, dates the semi centennial from 1895, when it bought Pusey's patent and started production.
		Pusey snipped his first book match out of cardboard with a pair of office shears and cooked the match-head and striking-surface mixtures on his office stove.
		The first book matches were sold to the public (not given away), had no advertising on their covers, and were regarded as a flimsy and dangerous novelty.
