Cooperating with seventy-fve other
foremost Iowa county newspapers
throughout the state, the Decorah
Public Opinion will in this month
begin the publication of feature
magazine section, The Iowa Maga-
zine, which will be distributed ev-
cry other week as a section of the
Public Opinion.
The publication of this magazine
section is an entirely new venture in
county newspaper work, and although
1t has been in process of organiZa-
tion and formulation for the past
five years, it is only now ready to
become an established fact. The
Iowa Magazine feature section will
make the Public Opinion stronger,
better, broader, and more serviceable
newspaper than it has ever been be-
fore. The feature magazine section
will be of much advantage to citizens
of the state and readers of this
newspaper.
The magazine publication is made
possible by the association Of these
newspapers covering all parts of the
state, and these publishers uniting
will represent a larger circulation
than any other Iowa publication. The
magazine will thus go primarily to
the residents of the smaller cities,
towns and rural communities who
make up the backbone of the state
of Iowa, and may well be said to
from the better half of Iowa, both
in numbers and in quality.
The Iowa Magazine will represent
and serve Iowa people as no other
publication has been able, hitherto,
to do. The papers associating them
selves into the group which will dis
tribute the Iowa Magazine as an
additional section of their papers, re-
present the stronger county papers II
the state and collectively they pro-
vide a circulation of about 100000
No other publication will reach the
state so thoroughly as does this ma
gazine section. The Public Opinion
feels elated that it is one of the
papers on this select list because /
will thus be able TO serve its reader
more, effectively than it could other
wise do, even with the greatest o
effort in the local office.
The magazine will provide a mos
interesting body of reading matte
for every subscriber. Beginning i
