  • Consumerism in the 1920S: Collected Commentary
    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION ONTEMPORAR Y HE WENTIES IN OMMENTARY T T C * Leonard Dove, The New Yorker, October 26, 1929 — CONSUMERISM — Mass-produced consumer goods like automobiles and ready-to-wear clothes were not new to the 1920s, nor were advertising or mail- order catalogues. But something was new about Americans’ relationship with manufactured products, and it was accelerating faster than it could be defined. Not only did the latest goods become necessities, consumption itself became a necessity, it seemed to observers. Was that good for America? Yes, said some—people can live in unprecedented comfort and material security. Not so fast, said others—can we predict where consumerism is taking us before we’re inextricably there? Something new has come to confront American democracy. Samuel Strauss The Fathers of the Nation did not foresee it. History had opened “Things Are in the Saddle” to their foresight most of the obstacles which might be expected The Atlantic Monthly to get in the way of the Republic—political corruption, extreme November 1924 wealth, foreign domination, faction, class rule; . That which has stolen across the path of American democracy and is already altering Americanism was not in their calculations. History gave them no hint of it. What is happening today is without precedent, at least so far as historical research has discovered. No reformer, no utopian, no physiocrat, no poet, no writer of fantastic romances saw in his dreams the particular development which is with us here and now. This is our proudest boast: “The American citizen has more comforts and conveniences than kings had two hundred years ago.” It is a fact, and this fact is the outward evidence of the new force which has crossed the path of American democracy.

  • Public Health Reports Vol
    PUBLIC HEALTH REPORTS VOL. 41 AUGUST 20, 1926 No. 34 THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC OF 1926 A Preliminary Note on Certain Epidemiological Indicat.ons1 The wave of influenza in the late winter and spring of 1926 in the United States was more than ordinarily severe when compared with the influenza outbreaks which have occurred since 1920. MIeas- ured by the excess of mortality over the corresponding period in 1925, which was not an "influenza year," the toll in lives exacted by the disease was by no means negligible. In fact, were it not for the over-shadowing pandemic of 1918, which caused over 500,000 deaths in the United States alone, and the epidemic of 1920, which caused about 100,000 deaths in this couintry, the 1996 outbreak would have been regarded as a calamity.
