The Rich Are Always With Us

United States, 1930. 12 ½ x 18 ¾ sheet. Some wrinkles; near fine.. A broadside soliciting advertisers for Condé Nast’s publications Vogue, Vanity Fair, House & Garden, and The American Golfer. Printed following the 1929 crash, the broadside’s tactic is to portray Condé Nast magazines’ readers as the people who stay rich, or get even richer, during times of economic upheaval: the “Successful Class [which] profits first” because it contains the “ablest, the most ingenious, and the most ambitious people in the land.” “The time has come”, the broadside advises, “to re-sell them—hard.” We find no copies of this broadside in OCLC.
