Item description from seller

THE RED CROSS MAGAZINE started in 1916 as a publicity outlet for the Red Cross, and expanded during the buildup to the First World War, and the War itself. After the war it tried to become a more general monthly, billing itself as THE NEW RED CROSS MAGAZINE and as "The Magazine of a Better America," but it apparently went out of business with the October 1920 issue. Article by Ida Tarbell in this issue: Ida Minerva Tarbell (November 5, 1857 - January 6, 1944) was an American investigative journalist, biographer and lecturer. She was a leading muckrakers of the Progressive Era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and pioneered investigative journalism. Tarbell worked with the editor John Phillips at McClures and both resident at the same time and collaborated later. This issue has the fascinating article "Making American Citizens" by Ida Tarbell as well as other articles such as: Saving a Life, The Listening Gallery, March of the Red Cross, Better America, Red Cross at Home, Peter Rabbit Has an Exciting Evening, Billy Brad and the Middleman, and Helping Children to Health. Among the authors are: Anne Shannon Monroe, Emily Frances Robbins, Freeman Tilden, William G. Shepard, Clara Laughlin, Angelo Patri, Theodocia Peace, Benjamin De Casseres, Thornton Burgess, and Ellis Parker Butler. Among the Artists and Photographers whose work is presented are: Anna M. Upjohn, Angus MacDonall, William L. Finley, Irene Finley, H. T. Holman, F. R. Gruger, Albert Levering, Harrison Cady, J. R. Shaver, and Lewis W. Hine. The section Help Yourself to Health is a Department conducted by Merritte W. Ireland, U.S. Army Surgeon-General, William Braisted, U.S. Navy Surgeon-General, and Hugh S. Cumming, U.S. Health Service Surgeon-General. Mailing label on front cover, soiling to covers, corner crease on top back cover. Pages are clean. First edition. 8" - 11¾".
