This collection consists of memos collected by George Berkwitt during his tenure as chief editor of Industrial Distribution Magazine. The memos address marketing, editorial, advertisting, and other topics relevant to the leadership of the trade magazine.

Collection includes Flige's memoirs, which discuss such topics as his childhood and education; ballet and theatre; Kiev and St. Petersburg; his great-uncle, N.Kh. Bunge, his father-in-law V.N. Kokovt︠s︡ov, and Sergeĭ Witte; and of the 1917 Revolution. There are also essays by him on such topics as insurance companies, on the business world of St. Petersburg, and on agrarian issues.
