...pioneer, and the biggest (circ. 5,650,000), picture magazine in the world, LIFE uses only one in 50 of the half-million pictures its editors look at every year. For the one in 50, LIFE photographers often go to extraordinary lengths. Samples: ¶ On the frozen fastness of the Canadian arctic, LIFE Photographer Fritz Goro and Reporter James Goode worked for seven weeks in silent isolation, photographing a corner of the world few men had ever seen before, where the weather extremes far surpass the farthest reaches of the arctic. Their radio could receive messages but could not send...

By thus cutting costs, Evans soon turned his paper into a moneymaker...
