MILLIONS OF MEN AND WOMEN ARE EAGERLY
WATCHING THE WEEKLY IMPROVEMENTS IN
THE "DIGEST'S" REVOLUTIONARY METHOD OF
Prktkg a Greai Magazine Witlhoet Oer Typesetters
Who Continue to Enjoy Their "Vacation" Midst the
Beautiful Autumnal Foliage in and Around New York
Five weeks ago the "Digest" faced the most seri
ous emergency that has confronted its publishers since
it was established nearly thirty years ago. Today we
can announce that we have bridged the strike difficul
ties caused by the typesetters taking a "vacation" and
are publishing a magazine without their aid that is a
delight to its millions of readers.
The " Digest " is the only magazine of large national
circulation that has been published in New York since
the strike went into effect. The initial experiment,
while necessarily imperfect in its results, awakened
the deepest interest throughout the country. Last
week's "Digest" showed marked improvement in its
typographical appearance over the preceding num
bers, and to fill the demand for it eleven hundred thou
sand copies were printed. They were sold almost
immediately after being placed on the news-stands.
We Have Received Hundreds of Letters
Like This:
"I have just received my copy of the 'Digest' this
morning, and I cannot refrain from giving you at this
time my unqualified congratulations for the resource
fulness with which you have met the present emer
gency. " Aside ' from being a modern exemplification of
' Carrying the message to Garcia let it be a guide and
a beacon light to other employers of labor. Behind it is
the stuff against which the waving of the red flag cannot "
and will not prevail.
"The sooner workers everywhere find out that the
panacea for their ills does not lie in allowing themselves
to be organized into disgruntled and non-producing mobs
by a lot of foreign-born, hair-tearing, hell-raising anar
chists of the Trotzky type, the better for all concerned,
and the sooner they will get back on the job and start
to produce an honest day's labor for an honest day's pay.
Therein lies the secret of making the dollar they earn
buy a real dollar's worth of living; and that's what all
the fight's about, anyway."
This week's number of the " Digest," dated Novem
ber 15, on sale today, shows still further improvement,
typographically and otherwise, and an increase in size
to ninety-six pages. Next week's issue will exhibit
further progress, and we are confident that in the near
future the reading world will acclaim the "Digest"
nearly one hundred per cent perfect. Other publish
ers throughout the country are following the . trail
blazed by the "Digest" and are experimenting toward
the adoption of the new method of publication.
If you would know what is going on in politics, in
industry, in science and invention, art, literature and
every other interest that touches the lives of intelligent
Americans, all arranged so that every phase of a sub
ject can be readily understood, THE LITERARY
DIGEST is the magazine you should read.
This week's number will sell out rapidly, so get
your copy now.
