...issue of the late Literary Digest was a strange looking creation. Due to a compositors' strike, the magazine used typewriters to prepare its columns of editorial matter, photographed the final copy, made line-cuts from the photographs and went to press on schedule. The appearance of the magazine was ragged because the right-hand edge of the typewritten copy could not be evenly aligned. The Literary Digest, at this time, was offering a prize of $100,000 to anybody who would figure out a way to make typewritten copy square up like printed matter...
...Ryan, 38, is editor of a highly profitable 136-page magazine called Oral Hygiene, sent free to 68,000 dentists each month* and of a 58-page monthly called Dental Digest to which 22,000 dentists subscribe.

Dr. Shaw, now almost 80, who was away on vacation with his 26-year-old second wife, quickly returned to New York to take editorial charge of the new magazine. It will consist of three sections: a lead called "The Story of a Week," a centre filled with picture layouts, a back-of-the-book dedicated...
...initial print order of 600,000 is planned for the combined magazine. Before Literary Digest mispredicted a Landonslide last year it alone had 685,537 circulation. The Digest will accept liquor advertising, something which Literary Digest never did. The firm of Funk & Wagnalls will continue in the book and dictionary publishing business under the management of Robert J. Cuddihy & sons, who own 60% of its stock. President Wilfred John Funk, son of Founder Dr. Funk and 40% stockholder, is reported to have an idea for a new magazine up his sleeve...
