Without party organization, without campaign funds, he motors 200 miles a day in a sound-truck fashioned like a railroad locomotive.

Only addition to the roster of Curtis magazines since 1911 when the Country Gentleman was purchased, and latest product of the Curtis Co.'s ambition to service the American Family from top to bottom, the November issue of Jack and Jill (40,000 copies) runs to 48 seven-by-ten-inch pages, illustrated with...
