ing.

ty Reporter is to present to its sub
scribers and readers a series Of arti
cles gathered and edited by Communi
ty News Service, this paper feels thai
it is offering what will be known a.
the greatest Individual feat in Ameri
can Journalism.
For many weeks and months Com
nunity News Service has been quiet
ly combing the Nation for expressions
from the men advanced in American
industry, arts, finance, religion, drama
and transportation relative to the pos
sibiiity of securing a series of articles
from those who are unquestionably re-
cognized as the greatest leaders of the
particular industry or profession to
which they have given their lives such
as members of the Presidents cabinet
generals in the Army, u S. Senators,
financiers, railroad presidents, college
heads, executives and owners of the
worlds greatest industrial plants, gov
ernors' government department heads,
labor leaders, political giants, insur-
ance executives, transportation ex-
perts, Industrial leaders and many 9TH
efS.
1t needs but glance at the names
of the men who are the authors of the
series to indicate to any one familiar
with America and her leaders today
that never before has such a galaxy of
powerful and dominant men combined
to give expression to the beliefs and
hopes that have been and are today
the guiding force in the nations civic
industry, education and aesthetics. No
Individual paper, regardless of its
wealth or power, could hope to secure
written expression from a tiny frac-
tion of the scores who under their sig
natures are about to give to the read
ers IF the Wood County Reporter their
personal viewpoints.
1t makes little difference what your
race, business, politics or religion may
be. 1t makes no difference where your
business interests may lie. If some
of the men whose stories" are to be
published differ from you in any par
ticular, if you disapprove to their me-
thods or personality, the fact remains
that each and every one of them is SO
high in his particular sphere that you
cannot afford to ignore him, and what
he has to say is important to you Ev-
cry walk of American life is represent
ed by leader whose ability is unques-
toned and who KNOWS his subject as
no other man may know it.
The majority of the men whose ar
ticles are to be presented to you by
the Wood County Reporter have long
been IN the limelight, long been the
subject of speculation and comment
and time after time the whole nation
has wondered what they thought and
has sought to discover. In the series
about to be printed these men will tel
you what they think-will give advice
that should be priceless, give reviews
that are history, open gates that have
been sealed, and tell in their own words
the message that every great man has
for his fellows.
AS an American citizen you cannot
afford to miss single article, for A
merlca's greatest and best are their
authorities. AS the member of fam
lily or community you cannot afford to
miss them, for the message they bring
is one to strengthen and build up fam
lies and communities. Your children
cannot afford to miss them, for here
lies the expression of success, anC
word from heights to which you would
be glad and proud to have your chill
dren rise. No minister, priest, lawyer
or doctor can afford to miss them fol
they are human documents. No mar
who labors with his hands can afford
to miss them for most of those who
write and have risen once worked with
their hands, and they can point the
way to an easier, broader life.
Every branch represented is 6
branch whose many sides touch the
life and work of every American ant
has personal bearing on your happi
ness, success and home life The very
life of the nation is interviewer will
its banking, its transportation, it's ag
riculture, its schools, its insurance ans
distribution and manufacture of sta
pies and from all these phases come
the leaders to give you a message a
personal as a letter.
The greatest newspapers in Ameri
ca from time to time secure brief in
terviews from some of the men repre-
sented in the series, others they hav
sought to interview and failed. n
paper has ever been able to secure
signed article from but very few G
the number whose contributions are t
be offered to you. Magazines of ma
tional circulation would gladly pa
large sums for a single article frol
any one of the men who have give
their services to Community News Sel

ledge that the writer's could reach e,
