Publisher Havell, certain the Digest had bumped bottom, announced that he hoped to resume publication in less than 60 days and continued to woo his elusive angel with promises the Digest's circulation would be all the better for being pared from 465,000 to a solid, potentially-profitable 300,000 by doing away with combination and bulk sales. Against liabilities of $1,492,056 (including a $60,000 demand note to Funk & Wagnalls-original Literary Digest publishers-$63,000 for paper, $30,000 for printing, $612,000 to readers for paid-up subscriptions), the Digest listed assets...

Landon in the White House. Last June, the magazine having scraped bottom long enough, Funk & Wagnalls sold it to the Albert Shaws, father and son, for what was reported as a generous $200,000-only one percent of what the Literary Digest had been valued at in its prime.
