Charles H. Kerr Company Publishers
Charles H. Kerr Publishing Company was established in Chicago, Illinois in 1886 by Charles Hope Kerr, originally to promote his Unitarian and vegetarian views. As Kerr's personal interests moved from religion to Marxism and he became interested in the labor movement, the company's publications took a similar turn. The company's 1900 catalog promised books "on socialism, free thought, economics, history, hygiene, American fiction, etc."
