Abstract

Chain-Store Civilization
Thomas, Norman | February 19, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The Passing of Normalcy,' by Charles W. Wood. Wood explains with scrupulous honesty, the book grew out of a suggestion from the chain-store men, and the study was somewhat aided by them although the results were not quite in line with their desires. Wood makes no Middletown study of Marion, but he does make some sound and shrewd observations about it, and tells us rather vividly how and why the old days of normalcy are passing-which is a very different matter from proving the adequacy of his gospel.
