CYRUS II. X. CURTIS.

A passage in a story Rudyard Kiplins
was writing for Mr.. Curtis referred to
the hero in his excitement and despair,
gulping down a glass Of brandy. AS
Mr. Curtis objects to any reference to in
toxicating liquors in his publications, he
telegraphed to Mr.. Kipling asking him
to change the passage. He received the
following reply. Strike out brandy
and insert Mellins Food"
Curtis nrst adventure in the publishing
business was made on borrowed capital,
but his determination to push ahead and
ability to hold on soon enabled him to get
out Of debt and place his magazine
among the leaders.
His ability to build Is clearly shown In
his efforts with the Saturday Evening
Post When he purchased 1t, 1t was in
a deplorable condition with circulation
not over a hundred and scarcely no ad-
vertising One editor was all 1t could
boast but through his untiring efforts and
shrewd business management 1t now
boasts thirty editors and million and
half circulation.
He is determined. enterprising, and
thoroughly self -relient Absolute honesty
In all things is his motto.
The protection OF his readers in the
nefarious advertisements is a matter OF
history In the publishing world.
