Collier's Encyclopedia edit
You did a major expansion of the Collier's Encyclopedia article back in 2021 here. I harmonized the citation formatting so that it followed the in-house style that was already in use in the article before your edit. When I did that, I noticed that you supplied access/retrieval dates for sources without URLs listed. So, I added the missing URLs to many of the sources, finding the clippings of the news articles on Newspapers.com, to make the citations more accessible to our readers for verification and retain the original access dates for the sources used in your edit. I also added some missing authors and corrected a few page numbers to match the original newspaper source.
That leaves a few footnotes that haven't receive the full treatment. You wouldn't happen to have the URLs for the FTC citation or the Yahoo! Finance one handy? (I'm also not quite sure how to harmonize the FTC citation into the same citation style without looking at it, so I had to leave that alone.) How about the Collier's Cyclorama articles, are those online? Print sources are fine, but if they are online, it's just another way for an interested reader to find the source to verify the content. Sometime later, I'll try to add ISSN/OCLC identifiers to the newspaper and magazine sources, which gives readers a quicker way to search for print/microfilm/etc. copies in libraries.
