Look Magazine – October 22, 1940 – Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Willkie Cover (No Label, VG Condition)
This vintage issue of Look Magazine, dated October 22, 1940, features presidential candidate Wendell Willkie and his wife on the cover, offering a personal look at the Republican challenger just weeks before the 1940 U.S. presidential election. Willkie, a corporate lawyer and political newcomer, rose to national prominence during this period as he faced off against Franklin D. Roosevelt's historic third-term campaign.
A notable feature in this issue includes a Q&A-style article with President Roosevelt, addressing key topics such as:
-
U.S. rearmament capabilities in the face of global conflict
-
Concerns about the return of price controls and economic regulation
-
Federal policy on business pressures and industry support
-
The role of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
-
Agricultural policy and continuation of New Deal-era farm programs
The article is supported by striking photographs of wartime production—shipbuilding, armament factories, infrastructure development, and scenes of Roosevelt with his advisors—capturing the state of the nation during a critical moment in American history.
