MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
A MAN NAMED CAXTON
You may not remember ever
hearing the name of Wiliam Cax
ton, but it was his life which
makes you life today comfort
able. He it was who introduced
printing into England. This was
1476. The introduction of print
ing has made all progress pos
sible.
It wasn’t until 1638 that Am
erica had a printing press, this at
Harvard university, but after
that printing grew, and news
papers sprang up. and modern
American life began.
The printing press is the fore
runner of knowledge wherever
it is introduced. The printed
word, even to this day, has no
rival as a quick means of dis
seminating vital facts and ideas.
The newspaper of today is one
of the modern wonders of the
world. It is broadest, quickest
most flexible and most econom
ical way of getting a message in
to the minds of the people.
Early in our national history,
manufacturers and merchants
sensed this power of the press.
They began using it to carry
their advertising facts and ideas
into the homes.
These early advertisers wrere
careful business men. The fact
that the newspaper would com
plete the educational process for
Hieir goods wasn’t enough. It
also had to do the job at less cost
Wian any other medium.
And they found, after -many
trials in different fields, that it
did. It got their message to pros
pective buyers in a manner
which was economical as well as
effective.
Today this same condition is
unchanged. Advertisers, using
newspapers year in and year out,
find it the most profitable way in
which the tell their story to buy
ers.
The reason is simple. The news
paper is the great common de
nominator of modern life. It
reaches practically every family.
It has the confidence of its read
ers. It stands for everything
which is right and good and
modern.
The advertisements in your
newspaper are as much a part of
its vital importance as the edit
orial and the news columns.
As a matter of fact, most read
crs find it hard to tell what inter
ests them most—the commercial
news, which is called advertis
ing and which touches their lives
! every day, or the general news,
in news story, editorial and car
toon.
They’re both valuable.
This man named Caxton was
one of the greatest benefactors I
of man-kind. He lighted the lamp |
and it is still burning bright, I
though centuries have fled since
he lived.
NO JURISDICTION
(New York Times)
One bit of Nazi arrogance is
decisively squelched in the de
cision of the World’s Fair Cor
poration to go ahead with the1
Czechoslovakian pavilion, in
spite of orders to the contrary re!
layed to this country from Ber
lin via Prague. The Nazi writ!
runs in Czechoslovakia, once a,
free country. It does not run in
Flushing Meadows.
The Czechoslovakian pavilion
will remain, not merely as a
memorial to a lost freedom, not
merely as a gesture of defiance.
' not merely as a reminder of a
shameless deed of the German
Government. It will express, we
hope to many millions, the con-1
tinuing resolution and the un-1
dying faith that “government of
the people, by the people and
| for the people shall not perish
[ from this earth.”
Over that resolution and that
faith, as over this temporary
structure of lath and plaster, |
Adolph Hitler has no jurisdic-:
tion. I
—
Franco is acting to rebuild the1
Spanish railways. That’s like the
kid who knocks down his house
of blocks so he can build it up
again.
A woman brewer suggests that
man should be separated from j
women in saloons. Well, fellows,!
it would be easier on the pocket-:
book.
