...Carbon. The artists ranged from such ununionized souls as Academician Jonas Lie and Merrymaker Doris Lee to Proletarians Joe Jones and Mervin Jules. The subject matter of Labor was conceived generously enough to admit a painting of industrial buildings by Classicist Charles Sheeler. Even more varied was a display of 180 prints and drawings, from the 15th Century to the present, from which visitors could get an idea of how differently Labor looked to Pieter Bruegel, to Honoré Daumier, to James A. McNeill Whistler...

After a disagreement over distributing rights, Promoter Andrews developed his own dry shaver, the Packard, and began to sell it with noisy ballyhoo.
