crl-25269	Allen, Caleb	Craig Robertson. The Filing Cabinet: A Vertical History of Information. Minneapolis, MN: University of Minnesota Press, 2021. 280p. Paper, $27.95 (ISBN 978-1517909468).	2022	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1778	61	44	This operation was considered, both by the man- agers of business using filing cabinets as well as the sales departments of the filing cabinet manufacturers, to be so logical as to be practically automatic. Other out- standing surprises include a panoply of amusing images—early advertisements depicting men jumping into open filing cabinet drawers to demonstrate just how well-built a particular cabinet is, disembodied and shapely hands caught in the act of opening a file drawer (sex, as always, seems to sell), ridiculous cartoons—and even a poem gently mocking secretaries making filing errors while distracted by the thought of after-work dates and other frivolities.	cache/crl-25269.pdf	txt/crl-25269.txt
