Elliot Marple founded Marple’s Letter in 1949 as an outgrowth of his freelance reporting for Business Week and small trade newspapers. In addition to publishing the letter every other week, Mr. Marple represented Business Week as Seattle “stringer” (non-employee correspondent) from the late 1940s until his retirement in the early 1980s. Mr. Marple, who died in 2001 just short of his 94th birthday, authored several books. We have two available for sale:
