...everyone tried his hand at captions. It was daylight when I got home and went to sleep. That afternoon, I found an uncut copy of the little magazine in my room. I picked it up and began to turn through its meager 32 pages (including cover). Half an hour later, I woke up to a surprise: what I had been reading wasn't bad at all. In fact, it was quite good. Somehow, it all held together, it made sense, it was interesting...
...frequent neologisms. Hadden was the chief inventor of TIMEstyle, and he peppered the young magazine with it. TIME called George Bernard Shaw "mocking, mordant, misanthropic," and Erich von Ludendorff "flagitious, inscrutable, unrelenting." It coined "Mussoliniland" for Italy and called drugstores "omnivenderous." When Red Grange appeared on TIME's cover, he was described as an "eel-hipped runagade" and G. K.

TIME's first months were rough, but circulation gradually rose until, in 1926, it had reached 118,661. In 1925, TIME moved briefly to Cleveland, where it first used color on the cover and adopted the red border.

Luce later said that it was difficult to imagine a magazine less likely to survive: FORTUNE had walked in on the Great Depression. As a later FORTUNE managing editor, Eric Hodgins, put it: "Almost on the eve of FORTUNE's publication, the whole of the economy...
...more "beauty to be extracted from it," he bought it for $1 -much to the amazement of the garage owner, since the Seleys' car was a Chevvy. Seley, who at the time was casting Henry Mooreish semi-abstracts in plaster and terra cotta, began using bumpers as armatures, covering them with plaster, then casting the result in bronze or aluminum. By 1959, he had decided it was "a sacrilege to cover the beautiful bumper form," began working with the armature alone...
