...first issue, 42 years ago this month, TIME noted that the 25th annual convention of the Negro National Educational Congress was about to begin in Washington.

It signed a $15,400 contract to rid the town of rats and mice. Applying the techniques that have boosted its annual sales to more than $11 million, Rentokil will use rodenticides, not flutes.
