Scientific American, Vol. 98, No. 9 (1908)
Scientific American volume 98, number 9, from 1908, is a weekly American science and technology magazine compiled for a general readership of engineers, inventors and hobbyists. Its pages carry dense small-type advertisements for motor boats, automobiles, packings, tools and technical books, with occasional engraved photographs of machines and boats. A designer could take the crowded layout of mixed type blocks, rules and boxed ads as a model for a dense early twentieth-century catalogue page.
