Canned Speech
The phonograph presented American presidential aspirants with an opportunity to surmount eighteenth-century campaigning standards and meet the challenges of an expanding democracy and electorate. Thomas Edison’s invention—with its corresponding records—arguably was the first mechanical media technology to find its way into political campaigning on a mass scale. By 1908, canned, recorded speeches were poised to become a marketable alternative to s…
Movable Markets
Historians have had relatively little to say about wholesale markets in general, or food wholesalers in particular. Helen Tangires seeks to address this lacuna by asking and answering key questions about the transformation of the wholesale trade in agricultural products from one “rooted in the city's infrastructure and political economy to an industry whose wholesale sector operates on the urban periphery” (p. 6). Focusing primarily on two types …

Drawing on the example of Simon Kapstein, a district manager for the firm of E.P. Charlton…
Trust Brokers

Rain had delayed his train by two hours. When Iseman finally arrived, he had time to “drum” up business with only one retailer before drying off and retiring for the evening. The next day was no better; his expense money was dangerously low. He dunned two area merchants for payme…
