Macomber, Secretary of the Society of Arts and Crafts, Boston, noted for his seminal 1916 article about silver-making in the United States in The American Magazine of Art, wrote a piece 16 years later in the same magazine on Arthur Stone, George C. Gebelein, George E. Germer, George J. Hunt, Karl F. Leinonen, F. J. R. Gyllenberg, James T. Woolley, and other New England Arts & Crafts silversmiths.
