3 Documents Signed ("Hugh M. Hefner"), partially printed and accomplished in manuscript, 3 pp recto and verso, legal folio, Chicago, December 18, 1952, April 24, 1953, and June 5, 1953, being applications for bank loans, fold creases, browning. After being denied a $5 raise at Esquire, Hefner left his job, taking a position as Circulation Manager at the Child Training Association while raising money to start his own publication. Here he applies for two loans of $50 each and one for $500, using his furniture as collateral. The form on the verso of the last and largest loan application has a recommendation from an investigator to approve the loan: "Should be O.K. for $500/00." On another, there is a note reading: "Fine type young man. Believe safe loan." Having borrowed this $600, he then raised an additional $8,000 from family and investors to launch Playboy magazine in December 1953. Playboy would take a decidedly masculine part in the sexual revolution, combining "cheesecake" nude photography with world-class fiction and interviews of leading cultural and political figures.
