[PDF]Business Week 1951: Index

OF EDITORIAL AND ADVERTISING CONTENT — Ist HALF, 1951











How to Use this Index





Every article appearing in Business Week during
the first six months of 1951 is comprehensively
indexed in this volume. All articles are indexed
alphabetically by subject and by the names of
individuals, private businesses and government
agencies in all cases where such were either the
subject of the story reported or had a primary
relationship to the topic covered. The following
paragraphs are offered as a guide to the index.


Business Organizations. Industries are in-
dexed under their simple designations such as:
‘‘Aviation,"’ ‘‘Shipbuilding,"’ ‘‘Textiles,"’ etc. In
addition, all articles having reference to a private
company, will be found under that company's
name.


Labor. General labor news is indexed under
such broad headings as ‘‘Wages,”’ ‘“Employ-
ment,” ‘‘Labor,"’ and the like. References should
also be made to the various government labor
agencies and to individual companies. Because
the full names of many trade unions are not gen-
erally well known, trade union items are indexed
by parent organizations, under ‘‘American Feder-
ation of Labor," ‘‘Congress of Industrial Organ-
izations,”’ or ‘Independent Unions,"’ and then in
turn under subheads by the trade or industry in
which they operate. There is one exception; the
railroad brotherhoods are indexed only under
“Railroads — Labor.”


to ee


Government. The permanently established
departments of the Federal Government will be
found under ‘'D,"’ ‘Department of the Treasury,’
“Department of War,"’ and “Department of the
Navy.”


Independent Commissions and Special
Emergency Agencies. These will be found ar-
ranged alphabetically by their established names.
In addition, they are also indexed under their
field, of activity.


Advertising Index. This section includes all
advertisers who have appeared in Business Week
during the first six months of 1951. Arranged
alphabetically, this information gives the dates
of every insertion. For page numbers, refer to
issue indicated.


Reference Dept. Many individual headings
suggest other entries (‘See also. . .’) which may
be consulted in looking for specific articles. If,
however, you cannot find a specific article, or you
would like any general information about material
which Business Week has published, do not hesi-
tate to make direct inquiry by mail or telephone to
