Yiddish Trade Periodicals as Literary Magazines

The Yiddishist world is just different. You can go into the drugstore or a roadside convenience store or the bookstore in the airport and find all sorts of very specialized magazines about computers, or men's health, or women's health, or guns, or fly-fishing, or investing. Why a journal for furniture manufacturers and suppliers and another for cemetery workers ought to feel that half their mission was the furtherance of the literature of a minor language. Below are selections from the runs of both of the journals I am alluding to. The "Der Holts-industryal: Hoydesh-Zshurnal," is lightly held be libraries. The "Yerlikher Report Semetari Department," annuals were produced by the Cemetery Workers who were members of the Arbeter Ring in New York. You would have expected them to be more widely held but those aren't all that common elsewhere. The twenty-fifth year appears to be the earliest year that is held. The issues listed here are professionally done. The earlier issues might have been more primitive and ephemeral, but that is only a guess.
