STAND Magazine - The magazine for people who prefer to stand, 1966




"Standing," said Editor in Chief Dortha Abzug, "is something that almost every abled-bodied people enjoy doing."

STAND was the result of a merger between STRIDE Magazine and POSTURING Quarterly.   At it height, STAND was found in every podiatrist and orthopedic doctor's office in the United States and Canada. 

What killed off Stand was the running fad.  It wasn't just enough to stand, but now people expected to move about. Exhausting business that. 

The final issue of Stand came with its Woodstock issue.  Not a whole lot of standing at that one.
