EDWARD BOK
The Pulitzer Prize winner sends a letter as editor of The Ladies'
Home Journal
Typed Letter signed: "Edward Bok" as Editor of The Ladies'
Home Journal, 1p, 6¾x8¾. On journal letterhead. Philadelphia, 1905
November 4. To Mr. Edward T. Hartman. In full: "Pray accept my
thanks for your letter of October thirty-first, with its accompanying copy of
resolutions of the Massachusetts Conference for Town and Village Betterment. It
is very interesting to me to know of these resolutions in view of our efforts
along the billboard question, and I shall be grateful for any further
information which may come your way and which you think may be of interest to
us. Believe me very cordially Yours." Bok (1863-1930) moved as a child from
the Netherlands to the U.S. As editor of the The Ladies' Home Journal
(1889-1919), Bok campaigned for pure food and drug laws and, as the above
letter suggests, for public beautification. He also published important fiction
and articles by several Presidents. In 1923 he donated $100,000 for a prize for
the best plan for achieving universal peace. He won the Pulitzer Prize for
his autobiography, The Americanization of Edward Bok (1921). Slightly
soiled. Vertical and horizontal folds. Fine condition.
