THE WORLD'S WORK was a serious monthly magazine aimed at business and government leaders, with meaty articles about new trends, business methods, improved forms of government, and the like. Walter Hines Page was the founding editor of the magazine; this article's author took over as editor in the due course of time. I picked up twenty or thirty bound volumes of this magazine when the Palo Alto Public Library deaccessioned them a couple of years ago, and have been slowly working my way through them looking for articles of interest for the various blogs and websites.
