From 1869 - 1942, over 70 years, Augusta, Maine was America's mail - order magazine publishing capital with some seventeen titles published there and circulation at its height reaching an estimated three million copies. Magazines were mailed to subscribers nation - wide, and the sheer volume of sales led to the opening of a new post office in January, 1890. The major publications targeted women, particularly women in rural areas, but some also included articles and stories of interest to men and children. Farm and literary magazines were other types published in Augusta. The primary focus for the majority of the magazines was family and home life, and content included down - home advice on family life, decorating, business (raising chickens, for example), personal care, health, fashion, and the latest trends. Reading material included poetry, romantic fiction, short stories, and editorials, but most prominently the magazines offered opportunity (and encouragement) for women to buy the various and sundry items advertised. Contests and competitions were part of the allure, and subscription rates were very cheap (and often not even collected) as the magazines were supported well by the advertisements. The major publishers, E. C. Allen, P. O. Vickery and John F. Hill (who later became Governor of Maine), and William H. Gannett all became very wealthy. Publications included Good Stories, Happy Hours, Hearth and Home, American Woman, Needlecraft, and Farm World, all by Vickery - Hill Publishing Company, Comfort, by Gannett, which was the most successful of the magazines, Fireside Magazine, Peoples Illustrated Journal, the Illustrated Family Herald, Thrifty Farmer, Farming World, National Farmer, Golden Moments, Sunshine, Daughters Of America, and Practical Housekeeper, all by Allen, and later Gannett who took over Allen's publications in 1891. Some of the magazines including the present number were oversized, newpaper - style, and printed in quadruple columns, on cheap paper that did not hold up over time and use, thus, copies are relatively scarce, especially the early issues. Worldcat / OCLC locates only 5 repositories. See Zuckerman, A History Of Popular Women's Magazines In The United States, 1792 - 1995.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes plant layout and flow patterns of a typical stationary custom feed mill. It does so to determine how such operations would function within the industry and thereby present a standard of comparison for custom mill management to analyze their costs and incomes. Data was collected in a 1957 survey of over 100 midwestern custom feed mills and is used to provide an analysis of how such a mill could operate effectively. The author finds that many custom mills fail to completely cover operating expenses and provides insights into what levels of grinding, mixing, and bagging are necessary for a custom mill to break even or turn a profit. The information in this book provides a tool for helping custom mill management to maximize the revenue from their operations and improve efficiency.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores labor costs and efficiency in the context of the formula feed industry, delving into the comparative analysis of three primary materials handling methods: forklifts, hand trucks, and conveyor belts. The author presents a comprehensive analysis of each method's efficiency in terms of tons handled per man hour, bags handled per man hour, and proportion of time spent in manual handling, transportation, and idle or delay time. Furthermore, the book examines the relationship between total costs and component cost elements, providing insights into the impact of labor costs on overall warehouse operations. The author highlights the importance of considering factors such as the total volume, proportion of direct shipments, warehouse layout, wage rates, capital investment, and depreciation costs when determining the most efficient method for a particular operation.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the marketing practices surrounding grass and small-seeded legume seeds within the North Central States between 1954 and 1955. Specifically, it analyzes the marketing of alfalfa, red clover, timothy, and other smaller-seeded legume and grass types in the region and the different channels used to get these products from the producer to the end-user. The author describes the existing sales practices for certified and non-certified seeds and the functions performed by wholesale dealers, such as cleaning and packaging, prior to the distribution and sale of the final product. This book compiles data from 59 wholesale grass and legume seed dealers to provide a broad overview of the seed industry during this time, focusing primarily on the methods in which seeds traveled from the farm to the consumer. Changes in the industry, such as increasing demand and regional specialization, are also explored. The study provides insight into the practices of the seed industry during this period, the changes that were occurring within it at the time, and also provides a benchmark against which more recent practices within the industry can be compared.
