I’m finishing up a piece on Lochner v. New York, and have found some very interesting background information from the Bakers Review, a publication of bakery owners. As far as I can tell, I’m the first person to utilize this source (as opposed to the Bakers’ Journal, published by the bakers’ union) when writing about Lochner. The problem is that the Library of Congress, which is supposed to have the whole set, only has issues beginning 1902, whereas the publication started in 1898. And the George Mason library staff has been unable to find any other library that has the 1898-1901 volumes. If any VC readers have any clues to where I might find this publication (an obscure archive or historical society that isn’t connected to the WorldCat database?), I’d be grateful. dbernste at gmu dot edu.
