Out for larger editorial bear, young Harlan Logan announced in Printers' Ink last week a stunt familiar to trade publications but radical for such a staid old publishing house as Charles Scribner's Sons. Beginning in June, Scribner's will deliver gratis for three months via Western Union 50,000 copies to 50,000 people with annual incomes of $7,500 or more. After the three months...
