Books, as Francis Bacon might have remarked, are made for classical immortality, ephemeral existence culminating in tired waiting on the 98 cent stand in countless drug store emporiums, or immediate descent into oblivion and the macerating machine. Ernest Hemingway has escaped the latter fate, clearly; his readers of today are those who will decide whether he is to go down through the ages in the blurry print and sedate bindings of Everyman's edition. And this morning the Vagabond will also rise to present his luminous countenance before Dr. Carpenter in Sever 7, where the creater of tired young...
...distinct occasions TIME had definitely promised future information, which as yet has not appeared. One, the fate of a liquor store selling openly on a downtown thoroughfare of New York City; the other, the vicissitudes that had attended the winner of the first prize of last year's English sweepstakes.

An example is the story of the rise & fall of starched collars as reflected in the glorious reign and ignominious fate of the Arrow Collar Man -"a national idol who never lived." A chart showing the tumble of starched collar sales from 1919 (the advent of the soft shirt) is surrounded by colored reproductions of Artist Joseph Christian Leyen-decker's unbelievably handsome creation at critical stages of his career from the "merry Oldsmobiling" days of 1907 to the present. Captions tell the story...
