description: Before the Golden Age of magazines drew to a close half a century ago--soon to be beaten at the entertainment game by the new little boxes with moving images that were finding their way into the homes of more &amp; more Americans--a young PR man at General Electric sold his 1st short story to one of the doomed publications. By the time he'd sold his 34d, he decided to quit GE &amp; join the likes of Hemingway, Fitzgerald &amp; Faulkner. &amp; try to make a living at 1500 dollars a pop. With four major magazines running five stories each week &amp; smaller ones scouting as well, it was a seller's market, &amp; Kurt Vonnegut was delighted &amp; comfortable being published regularly by The Saturday Evening Post, Collier's, Argosy &amp; others.
