Cahn, William Out of the Cracker Barrel: The Nabisco Story : From Animal Crackers to ZuZu's
New York, NY, U.S.A. Simon and Schuster 1969 First Printing Hard Cover Good Good Carl Smith, Jacket Design, with B/W Photographs and Illustrations
Blue cloth on boards. 367 pp. Volume has fading mark to the top of the front cover, light edgewear. Jacket is worn on all edges, soiled from handling. Now in clear cover. "Animal Crackers, Arrowroot, Fig Newtons, Graham Crackers, Lorna Doone, Mallomars, Oreo, Zuzus ... For millions of Americans these names evoke the same mouth-watering nostalgia as Mother's home-baked apple pie did in times gone by. The story of the company that created them - along with Uneeda, Premium Saltines, Ritz and dozens of other snacks consumed by eight out of ten families in the United States - is so closely interwoven with the development of the country's economy that it emerges as an authentic pierce of industrial Americana. It all began in Chicago in 1898 when two groups of independent bakers - one in the East, the other in the West, and all locked in mortal combat - were brought together by a rising young corporation lawyer to form the National Biscuit Company. William Cahn's chronicle of the National Biscuit Company reflects a fresh and unorthodox approach to the writing of industrial history. Mr. Cahn's story is sparked with dozens of profiles of the men who were intimately involved in the Company's innovations and operation - a fascinating gallery of American business leaders.

Black cloth on boards. Volume has minor wear. Now in protective wrap.

Our particular study was overseen by a committee formed between the social scientists and a small group of the Company's senior executives. We decided to focus on the 'preoccupations' of men at middle-level at company headquarters so far as their work and their employment with the company was concerned. The main interest of this study lay in its indications of factors governing commitment to work and of ways in which work in a large organization influences the individual's conception of himself."

By the late 180s, with Marvin Traub at the helm, Bloomingdale's had become the most celebrated store in the world. Like No Other Store ... is the story of how Traub and the Bloomingdale's creative team conceived and executed a revolution so influential that it has been copied in virtually every retail chain and mall in America. Like No Other Store... is also the story of the Campeau take over and bankruptcy, providing an insider's account and many never before-revealed details of the deal that almost brought down Bloomingdale's."

Wohl, Stanley: M.D. THE MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

Blue textured paper on boards, white cloth on spine. Volume has light soil to spine cloth, wear on corners. Jacket is creased on the front panel a chip or two on the head of the spine. Now in clear cover. "Dr. Wohl brings insight, intelligence, and suggestions for change to a subject mired in chaos: 1. On the cost of medical care: This year (1984) Americans will spend 10 percent of the gross national product on health care. The expenditure is more than double the national defense budget. 2. On Doctors: For the medical profession this era may well be one of the most shameful and ethically questionable periods of its history. 3. On Hospital Bills: The proprietary chains in California charged patients an average of 24 percent more than non-profits did for the same services. 4. On Corporate Profits: It is estimated that a typical hospital admission requiring major surgery benefits no less than 46 listed U.S. Corporations. 5. On Medicare and Medicaid: When Congress passed the Medicare Act in 1965 providing government subsidized care, federal officials estimated that the costs of the plan might reach $8.8 billion by 1990. Medicare costs had already surpassed that figure by 1972, and in fiscal year 1983, Medicare costs were $60 billion. [ 24 years later and only the $ are different.]
