...years, Howard Vincent O'Brien had been offering Daily News readers a pleasant column of unspectacular introspection called All Things Considered. The morning he said good-by to Donel, Columnist O'Brien caught the public where its heart is. His "So Long, Son" column stuck. Readers' Digest reprinted it. So did a score of lesser magazines, newspapers, house organs. Throughout the U.S., the farewell to Donel was read aloud to women's clubs, schools, Rotary luncheons, radio listeners.

Twenty-one years is a long time as magazines go. Most of the famous magazines of 1923 are gone now-Scribner's, Century, World's Work, Outlook, McClure's, Everybody's, Review of Reviews, Vanity Fair, Forum, Metropolitan, The Literary Digest.

It has had a highly salutary effect in keeping us on our toes editorially. We believe that the product will continue to speak for itself...
...Yorker's departure from his fold was not a new experience for Editor Wallace. The Curtis Publishing Co. (Saturday Evening Post, Ladies' Home Journal, Country Gentleman) had once dropped out, then returned. So had others. A decade ago Editor Wallace began to supplement the Digest's reprint diet with a staff of original Digest authors which is now formidable. Noticeable in recent years: fewer Digest reprints from long-favored sources, more from lesser-known, smaller publications, and more original articles...
