Fortune Magazine: 1940-1949 World War II Era Issues - Great Shape

Description: Free eBay listing template designed by dewiso.com Fortune Magazine: 1940-1949 You Choose! These issues of Fortune span the period from the creation of the Lend-Lease Act, enabling the government to support other nations in the war while still remaining officially neutral, to the end of the decade that witnessed one of the most destructive conflicts in history. An incredible amount of history is captured in more than 3,000 pages, and I can't even begin to detail just how fascinating much of it is. Browsing through the issues, I found features on the explosion of the auto industry (centered on Detroit), early plans for a national highway system, analyses of the country's entry into the Pacific Theater, an early call for equal treatment in anticipation of the civil rights movement that began the following decade, and much more.Every one of the magazines, including the hundreds upon hundreds of vintage advertisements, brings a crystal clear focus on the event gripping the world at that time: World War II. Even rarer is the fact that some of the issues still have the original supplements included, each of which provides an in-depth look at an area related to the conflict. Those supplements are frequently listed individually here on eBay for $10 to $20 or much more. (See https://www.ebay.com/itm/176355718719, https://www.ebay.com/itm/154848713636, and https://www.ebay.com/itm/374238530630, and https://www.ebay.com/itm/155838634419)In short, you're getting an immense amount of content directly from the midst and aftermath of World War II, and it's unlikely you'll find a lot in this overall condition again: despite their age, the magazines are in very good shape overall as detailed in the Condition Description. I'd be happy to take photos of the contents page and a few samples of a specific issue if you send a message. The photos shown highlight examples of the gorgeous artwork, ads, and layouts.

Please do not send overly low offers, as I often list my items similar to or lower than others. In most cases I simply will not respond. Shipping Every item is weighed beforehand and entered into eBay's automatic shipping calculator, which generates the shipping quote based on the provider, your location, the weight and (when applicable for larger items due to volumetric weight) the box size. In general I ship the same day or next day when purchases are made, and they're all assigned valid tracking numbers through eBay's system. All items are packaged carefully with sufficient protection to ensure they reach you safely. Any items that exceed $100 in value, excluding those in limited categories such as books and magazines, will be covered by additional insurance in the full sale amount at no cost to the buyer. Returns Returns are accepted within 30 days following the date of purchase. In cases in which an item does not match the description or does not work as stated, a full refund will be issued, including the original and return shipping costs. However, in cases in which you wish to return an item for other reasons, or if an item was listed "as is" in the description, note that only the purchase cost will be refunded. The original shipping cost and the return shipping cost will be the responsibility of the buyer.
