System, the magazine of business

        Here’s System, another early stationer’s magazine from Hathi Trust, an almost complete run from Volume 1, 1901, to Volume 42, 1922.  There aren’t as many fountain pen and mechanical pencil ads as there are in some other stationers’ magazines, but they are there.  The magazine deals mostly with systematization methods and organizational tools for the business man, mostly forms and statistics and ledgers and graphs and filing cabinets and index cards.  Oh yeah, they love their little index cards.

        The shame is that the online issues stop in 1922, just before the Duofold era, and there are some real badass Duofold ads coming, if they ever release the rest of the issues.  I know there are some unique, and heretofore unseen and unknown ads because I’ve seen hardcopies of some of them.  But even though the links for these later volumes are supplied by Hathi Trust, they are not available online.  If you click on these links, you get the message, “This item is not available online (Limited search only) due to copyright restrictions”, and if you perform a word search, say for the word “Duofold”, you get the message, “Full view is not available for this item due to copyright © restrictions”.  But maybe someday, soon, . . .

Some of the volumes above have had their advertisements stripped out of them when they were bound, but here are some substitute volumes from another university library offered by Hathi as alternates.]
