In den WarenkorbSoft cover. Zustand: Good. The Past Can Speak to the Present! It was 1916 and thousands of people were saying, "I've got to get myself in gear!" It didn't help matters much that World War I was in progress, or that Americans were worried about getting involved. But life rolled along and the cares of yesterday often reflected the… cares of today. This magazine, "Personal Efficiency", addressed the desire for personal and public success . it was, in its own words, the "How and Why Magazine". While the editors and writers could hardly have imagined our daily use of the internet as a grand resource and tool, I warrant their approach to efficiency and their advice for personal success has much in it that is timeless. On the first page of the magazine is a black-and-white miniature reproduction of the front cover picture depicting a king pronouncing something to one of his vassals. The text on the page states : "An emperor born to the purple may be less kingly than the man who, through his own efforts, rises from low station to honorable attainment. ( Nature fashions both king and peasant from the same clay.)" On the rear exterior is an advertisement for REX Typewriters.

CONDITION - GOOD - This is a previously owned magazine which remains complete, clean and serviceable - with the following particulars noted: EXTERIOR : Moderate weathering, front and back; soft bumps to corner tips has some bumping to corner tips - with attendant creasing; spine displays abrasion along its length, and impact creasing and some surface loss around the foot. Displays nicely. BINDING : Staples display rust. The spine attachment to the main body of the magazine is a bit tenuous, as the staples are thinking about detaching (the attachment of the paper abutting the staples is iffy). However no leaves are detached or loose. INTERIOR : Creasing to fore-edge corner tips throughout, as well as at the foot of the spine gutter throughout. Else clean and presentable, with no marking, no writing, no signatures.
