In 1916, he founded William Feather Magazine. In addition to writing and publishing that magazine, and writing for other magazines such as H.L. Mencken's The American Mercury, a successful printing business, authored several books. His large printing business, William Feather Printers produced catalogs, magazines, brochures, brochures and annual reports of the company.
