When Silverton, a mountain hamlet near Denver, was cut off from the world by a hundred feet of snow, Bonfils sent an airplane which circled slowly above the outcasts, and then dropped a bag containing five hundred copies of the Denver Post. The domination of the Post, however, was soon challenged by the Scripps-Howard Rocky Mountain News, and the most spectacular of advertising wars began.
