But before these were produced, the company was actually called "The I.K. Funk & Company", founded in 1875 by Isaac Kaufmann Funk. Shortly after, in 1877, Adam Willis Wagnalls, one of Funk's classmates at Wittenberg College (now Wittenberg University), joined the firm as a partner and the name of the firm was then changed to Funk & Wagnalls Company. The name would only go through minor changes, based solely on the company's growth into an incorporation (e.g. Funk & Wagnalls Inc., then Funk & Wagnalls Corporation,). During its early years, Funk & Wagnalls Company published religious books. The publication of The Literary Digest in 1890 marked a shift to publishing of general reference dictionaries and encyclopedias. The firm published The Standard Dictionary of the English Language (OCLC 19715240) in 2 volumes in 1893 and 1895, and Funk & Wagnalls Standard Encyclopedia (OCLC 1802064) in 1912. By 1925, Wilfred J. Funk, the son of Isaac Funk, was president of the company and would remain so up until 1940 The encyclopedia was renamed Funk & Wagnalls New Standard Encyclopedia in 1931 and in 1945 (*THE TYPE THIS AD IS FOR*), it was known as New Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedia, Universal Standard Encyclopedia, Funk & Wagnalls Standard Reference Encyclopedia, and Funk & Wagnalls New Encyclopedia (29 volumes, 1st ed. 1971). In 1965, Funk & Wagnalls Co. was sold to Reader's Digest. It would then continue to be bought and sold to various companies, including Microsoft in 2011! The last printing of Funk & Wagnalls New Encyclopedia was in 1997. As of 2018, annual Yearbooks are still in production. 📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖 📚📖 SPECIFICATIONS: TITLE: Funk & Wagnalls New Standard Encyclopedia of Universal Knowledge EDITORIAL DIRECTION: Frank H.
