quarto, two pages, with original mailing envelope of "Diane de Poictiers Co. Perfumers", 22 East 21 St., "removed to 10 and 12 West 22nd St." " I'm going to take a store opposite the Waldorf-Astoria all our fine customers live uptown and they want me to move up higher I have been on the waiting list for a store on 33rd Street and have secured one right opposite the ladies entrance of Waldorf, and expect to sign the lease tomorrow As our goods appeal only to the very wealthy class why it behoves me to get up among them. The store is just eight feet wide, with a show window, and forty-eight feet deep and it is up to me to make that one of the most beautiful and artistic stores in New York. It will cost me about eight hundred dollars to tear things out and get everything as I want it. My idea is to have the walls white satin striped with a border of pale pink roses showering down in long strips, pale green Royal Tilton carpets, green velvet furniture made to order, ferns in gold vases and on the opening day, the first of March, there will be masses of flowers everywhere. And I have designed a new theatre hat that is going to shake New York, it is a dream we do not want anyone to copy it until I get it patented I'll have my private office in the back, you know I do not appear in the business, I just create and boss and rake in the 'mon.' I must be doing something the stagnation of Stroudsburg is killing. My factory is running day and night rushing these theatre hats... I am also putting 200,000 bottles of Diane de Poictiers Co.'s Violet de Russie on the market Court won't let me go South on account of the old Bond Case coming up next month, so I have just branched out into a big business venture and I am spending slathers of money, which I will get back hundred-fold. I am never at fault in a business venture, barring the Hotel which I must take up very shortly to rent or sell the American Bank Note people are making all my labels with a picture of Diane de Poictiers in colors, they do such fine work. Rent of store is fifteen hundred dollars." Collins was evidently an ambitious entrepreneur with old legal problems and debts who had left rural Pennsylvania behind to seek his fortune in the big city. He was apparently not unsuccessful, at least in the perfume line. We could find only one reference to Diane de Poictiers Violet de Russie in a 1906 issue of an obscure Nurse's magazine, which stated that this was a new 'epoch-making" venture of the Freewood Perfume Company, which was offering their "famous" flower fragrance, with its "particularly dainty odor", in "an attractively labeled glass stoppered bottle, tied with violet ribbons" without any expense "wasted on fancy boxes." New York newspapers of 1909 make no mention of Collins' grandiose plans, so perhaps the Waldorf area lease was never signed., 0, New York, New York: Monthly Review Press, 2004.

Green cloth with gilt lettering on the spine. 170 informative and educational pages nicely enhanced by black and white photographs and illustrations! "In this eye-opening book, Joan Greenbaum tells the story of changes in management policies, work organization, and the design of office information systems from the 1950s to the present. She describes the impact of new technologies on the organization of working life with a keen awareness of the social forces that seek to benefit from them, showing how the process is driven by the needs of capitalist profit and control over the workforce rather than the good of society or greater efficiency. Windows on the Workplace takes as its starting-point the experience of office workers and their own accounts of it. The book includes interviews with a wide range of workers, including young people entering a workplace in which the expectation of stable, long-term employment has all but disappeared. Greenbaum's approach is to locate their experiences and expectations within broader social and economic patterns, and to show how these patterns are constantly changing. In a field that is constantly changing, this book captures the moment and clarifies the direction in which it is moving. It exposes the myth that technological advance and free market economics are creating a better future for all, and reveals the reality behind the myth........." . Second Edition. Green Cloth.
