To make some money, to get practice, to have fun, is the avowed purpose of Junior Englewood (New Jersey weekly), edited by Bruce C. Forbes, 12-year-old son of Bertie Charles.
To tell quaint and "human interest" doings of business bigwigs, to supply condensed financial news "for busy businessmen," is the avowed purpose of Forbes (semi-monthly), edited by Bertie Charles Forbes.
The commercial shrewdness of Son Forbes is evident in every column of Junior Englewood. To stimulate circulation he offers prizes of $1 and $2 for printable jokes and conundrums by youngsters, for essays by teachers. His biggest prize contest has the subject: "What I want to be and why."
Said Son Forbes last week: "You see, I want to take my father's place some day. I read all his magazines and everything that he writes in the New York newspapers. And some day I think I'll be a real editor like him."
