"Mr. Story was not the originator of the idea nor did he do the work nor did he know how the requests to the artists, etc., were worded or sent until all the work was done and the answers were coming in. The work was done evenings, at home, by the one who did it in his own time. Envelopes for replies to come to Mr. Story were enclosed with each request to the artists, etc., - for politeness sake - this gave the idea that the conception and its carrying out, were Mr. Story's."--Typewritten insert.
