Here the President, comfortably tucked in under a massive desk and surrounded by a background of secretaries and Secret Service men, sits flourishing his cigaret holder. The correspondents gather closely around the front of the desk trying politely to look as though all this were a marvel they had never seen before and scarcely dared hope to see again. The questions then begin...

...that office in 1925 and originated $10,000,000 worth of business (70% automotive) in 1928. That interested Mr. Lorimer in Mr. Healy. He was called to the New York office, a few months later to Philadelphia to be Curtis advertising director. Next year the Post began accepting cigaret ads, although the magazine has still to receive its proportionate share of the tobacco business-a circumstance which strengthens its resolve to continue excluding liquor advertising...
