MONTANA HAS BEST MAGAZINE
OF AMY LEGION DEPARTMENT.

| settled portions of the country and
possibly one magazine covering two
or three states in the west and north
west. The national office receives
copies of a great many post and de-
partmental papers and | am free to
say that The Service Star is the best
magazine in many different ways we
receive. 1t is printed on the best
paper; carries a greater percentage of
news to advertising; covers the state
very thoroughly; is the neatest in
point of Typography, and mainly, is
sold at the lowest rate of any that we
receive, considering it's quality as a
medium. Most of the magazines that
we receive at headquarters are sold
from $3.50 to $500 per year, while
The Service Star is only priced at
$1.00 per year.
"You should receive much credit
for the appearance of the paper and
the members of the American Legion
in Montana should feel proud that
they are able to maintain a paper
that is far ahead of those of other
states with a much larger member
ship.
II believe that the future of your
state publication is bright. The
Legionaires of Montana always ap-
p~reciate a good thing and l am sure
that in the next few months you will
have the majority of the ex-service
men and women in the state on your
list of subscribers"
Before Mr.. Helm left on his way
east he perfected arrangements with
The Service Star to gather Montana
news for the national office of the
American Legion News Service at In
dianapolis.
Mr.. Valentine Colonna, state adju-
tant of the department of Wyoming,
American Legion, represented his
state at the American Legion conven-
ton at Lewistown. In commenting on
The Service Star, he said hat he
hoped that the next convention of the
department of Wyoming, to be held
August 2, 9 and 4, would see fit to
endorse The Service Star as the Off
cial publication of the American Lee
gion of Wyoming, thereby making 1t
the Official magazine of both Montana
and Wyoming, bringing these two
states into cen closer harmony than
at present. The problems that are
present in Montana are sure to affect
the sister state of Wyoming and If
these problems are discussed freely
between the Legionaires of both
states it is felt that nothing but good
can result.
The Service Star is not a corpora
ton with profit as its main object.
IL is being published mainly to give
service to those that served There
is not one person on the staff of The
Service Star who receives any salary.
The editor and manager is adjutant
of the Great Falls post American Lee
gion and receives no compensation
his services. The offices occu-
pied by the paper are free of rent.
There are no overhead charges of any
kind. All the money received from
he publication goes right back into
paper to build it up. Under these
circumstances it is possible for the
publishers of The Service Star to put
1ut the magazine in such a manner
hat they can sell it to the public at
he low price of $1.00.
To continue doing so at this rate
the future rests entirely with the
men of the state. With their
support in subscriptions and the sup
port of the business men of the state
n the advertising columns there Is
reason that The Service Star
not become the leading maya
line in the state.
