Auctions as a Threat to American Business in the Eighteen Twenties and Thirties

Lewis E. Atherton

Business History Review, 1937, vol. 11, issue 6, 104-107

Abstract: In the history of business one finds a universal inclination to oppose new techniques which threaten to undermine established enterprise. Today this tendency is seen in the United States in the fight against chain stores and mail-order houses; a hundred years ago the new auction system of wholesaling was under fire.
