I am constantly being laughed at because my name is Snook, and yet we are a good family with three...
...years, and although its abbreviated form of all topics is commendable, and its editorial policy unique to the average man, still there is one feature absent from your pages that the majority of American magazines have.

Aside from all the serious matter that you print, I am sure that a humorous column would be an added asset to TIME, and I am herewith inclosing a sample copy of JEST AROUND THE CORNER, for consideration. It is submitted at your usual rates...
