Not That Long Ago

Articles published in the Coast Investor & Industrial Review of February, 1929:
Chrysler Tells How He Did It: What He Sees Ahead
Is Stock Market’s Madness Over?
Looking Ahead a Decade or Two
Boulder Dam as a Reality
Life Insurance Trusts
The Bonds and Stocks to Buy
Except for the Boulder Dam story---and would that all the current massive spending results in something as lasting and useful as that public works project---the headlines of 80 years ago with only minor updating don't sound strange to today’s business readership. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

Note: the Coast Investor drawing is the work of Peter Alexander Ilyin (1887-1950), Russian-American painter, whose art is on display at the Rincon Annex in San Francisco.
