Series ✦ Penny’s Take
The World's Work
Walter Hines Page · 1921
45/100
👎 Skip It
This 1921 volume gets credited to founding editor Walter Hines Page, but by then he'd been gone from the day-to-day for years and had actually passed away in 1918 — his son Arthur was the one running the magazine at that point. That kind of mixed-up attribution makes me want to hold off on vouching for it as listed, even though the magazine itself has genuine historical standing. Skip unless you're chasing it for research and can sort the credit yourself.
