McClurg &amp; Co. made the vast majority of its money as wholesale distributors, using their Chicago location strategically to ship books, stationery, and other retail products to the West. In the late-nineteenth century, however, the company sought to establish its reputation alongside the prestigious literary publishers of Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston. They did so, in part, by publishing a number of multi-ethnic authors, including W.E.B. Du Bois, Emma Wolf, and Edith Eaton\/Sui Sin Far. This timeline offers an interactive history of A.C. McClurg &amp; Co., with a focus on this corporate dynamic at the turn of the century.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/presentation\/d\/1peZ7VbqiwDTk44JCFDs7Pa6DZYkCAN6KXna8CfRCSI0\/embed?slide=id.p5\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"1000\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cite this article:<br>Lucas Dietrich, &#8220;Chicago Publisher A.C.
