NEW YORK EVENING JOURNAL

O R E W O R D —

Thirty-three years ago the New York Evening Journal was introduced to New York under its present ownership.

Improvements have been constant. The aim has been to give the public a better and still better newspaper, to make the New York Evening Journal more attractive and interesting to every member of the family.

Today, this newspaper is read by the greatest number of men and women in all income groups. It goes into the homes of the highest earning and largest spending classes, reaching the worthwhile families of New York City and its suburbs.

The New York Evening Journal, through its National and International News and Feature Services, has access to more of the very best and highest paid experts, writers, artists and contributors in every department of newspaper publishing than any evening newspaper in America outside the Hearst organization.

For the past quarter of a century the New York Evening Journal has attracted the largest readership of any evening newspaper in the United States on the sound principle of greatest service to the greatest number of men and women in every substantial walk of life.

Talent, the most expert and brilliant that money can attract, as exemplified throughout the pages of this booklet, gives you the secret of reader interest and reader confidence in the New York Evening Journal—an overwhelming public preference over one hundred per cent greater than the next largest standard size evening newspaper in New York City.

New York Evening Journal.

ARTHUR BRISBANE, Editorial Writer
New York Evening Journal

Mr. Brisbane writes editorials for the New York Evening Journal and has done so for many years. His daily editorials are one of the outstanding reasons why nearly half of all the people in Metropolitan New York, who buy any New York evening paper, buy the New York Evening Journal every day.

More than DOUBLE the circulation of next New York evening newspaper.

ACCURACY

THE FIRST LAW OF THE NEWS

“Get it First, but first get it Right”

THE SLOGAN OF

New York Evening Journal
News Gathering Staff

All through its local news staff as well as through the International News Service Staff the gospel of GET IT RIGHT is stressed and reiterated twenty-four hours in the day. The man who can’t get the habit of ACCURACY can’t stay in this organization though he be the most brilliant writer living. “Get it First but first get it Right” is at once a fearless challenge and a solemn pledge of faith.

More buy it—more read it—more like it than any other evening newspaper.

WILLIAM A. CURLEY, Editor
New York Evening Journal

One of the outstanding editors of America. Born on Manhattan Island and for many years active in newspaper work in New York City. His experience also includes editorial direction of newspapers in Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Boston. He knows the pulse of humanity and what pleases and interests the greatest number of intelligent people throughout New York City and suburbs.

EDITORIAL AND REPORTORIAL
EXECUTIVE STAFF

NEWS PICTURES
WHAT THE CAMERA’S EYE SEES

One good picture is worth ten thousand words, says an old proverb. The Evening Journal is invariably first in serving its readers with accurate, informative, illuminating and exclusive news pictures. Each picture must pass the scrutiny of the most critical staff of experts to be good enough for reproduction in the Evening Journal. New Yorkers know they get better and more interesting pictures in the Evening Journal than in any other New York newspaper.

MEANS LIFE TO THE NEWS

You may have the news beat of a century on your desk. Hold it a half hour too long—long enough for another paper to print it First—and for you it is Yesterday’s News with all the Life ebbed out of it.

The News Policy of the New York Evening Journal can be summarized in five sentences:

Give all the vital news of the moment.
Give it cleanly.
Give it accurately.
Give it interestingly.
Give it succinctly.

Back of this clean-cut, vigorous policy of news presentation is the finest reportorial and editorial talent that money can buy.

Local news printed in the New York Evening Journal is furnished by the most adequate staff of reporters and special writers retained by any evening newspaper in the city.

Telegraphic news is furnished by the International News Service—with well equipped offices not only in New York but in Washington, London, Paris, Rome, Moscow, Peking—with expert representatives all over the world. In New York City’s evening newspaper field International News Service serves the New York Evening Journal exclusively.

LARGEST AND HIGHEST PAID
LOCAL NEWS STAFF IN NEW YORK CITY

“Get it FIRST, but first get it RIGHT”—that is the slogan of the New York Evening Journal’s news-gathering staff. This newspaper employs the largest staff of men and women reporters, photographers, and news writers of any evening newspaper in America. It pays the highest salaries and this policy attracts the most capable and brilliant talent.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE
REPORTS NEWS OF THE WORLD
FOR EVENING JOURNAL
READERS

International News Service has firmly established itself as the dominant press service in the afternoon newspaper field. Its news dispatches, gathered from every corner of the universe, likewise are published in newspapers throughout the civilized world. International News Service is truly international in scope, linking the foremost nations in a comprehensive news-gathering and news-distributing chain.

Approximately 60,000 miles of leased wire, used and controlled by International News Service, distributes its news reports to the Evening Journal alone in New York and to more than 500 other daily newspapers in the United States. By cable and radio International News Service dispatches are sent to sixteen foreign nations in both hemispheres. Editors of the leading newspapers in Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Japan, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, Brazil, Chile, Argentina and numerous other countries place the same reliance upon the International News Service reports as do the editors of leading American afternoon dailies.

International News Service is operated under the able General Managership of Frank Mason, former chief of the Paris Bureau.

Collection and preparation of its news reports is in the hands of a highly trained staff of editors and correspondents. This staff is directed by Barry Faris, General News Manager, who has had more than a dozen years’ experience in press association work and knows thoroughly every detail of the service.

George R. Holmes heads a large staff at Washington. Holmes, himself, is an outstanding authority on news from the National capital, a keen observer, a vivid writer. William K. Hutchinson, Kenneth Clark, George Durno, Lawrence Sullivan and William S. Neal are members of the Washington corps whose achievements have made them widely known to newspaper editors and readers throughout the United States.

Copeland C. Burg, in Chicago, Ellis H. Martin in San Francisco and other staff men in all the leading cities in the United States get the news for International News Service and write it in individualistic style for New York Evening Journal readers.

The International News Service Foreign Staff is a large one. Harry K. Reynolds, Director of Foreign Service, with headquarters in New York, was formerly Manager of the London bureau, and he knows intimately every phase of the foreign service. Harry R. Flory, Manager in London; Frederic K. Abbott, Manager in Paris, and Otto D. Tolischus, Manager in Berlin, not only have done noteworthy work in covering the big news stories themselves, but direct a network of correspondents in their respective territories that literally covers the world for International News Service. Edward L. Deuss in Moscow, Guglielmo Emanuel in Rome and Harold Ballou in Madrid are capable members of the foreign staff who know their fields thoroughly. Correspondents are maintained as well in China, Japan, the Philippines, various South American countries and elsewhere at strategic points for news coverage.

International News Service correspondents at home and abroad have only one rule to guide them. That is to get the news and get it right. Generally, as well, they get it FIRST for New York Evening Journal readers.

TWO DAYS IN ADVANCE!

The story of three men in the Arctic.

Above them the cold, gray sky, washed by an impenetrable fog.

Around them only crashing icebergs, each second grinding out a new variety of the age-old Arctic death threat.

One man injured, unable to continue.

Then the story of the dying man who consigned himself to an icy grave that his mates might save themselves. And the story of the two men who, faced with this dilemma, left their pal to die, alone with his thoughts. Leering icebergs grinding out the death march.

This is the story of Dr. Finn Malmgren and Captains Marianno and Zappi.

It first became known to the world when the New York Evening Journal printed International News Service dispatches via Moscow on Friday, July 13, 1928. The Evening Journal’s headlines then read:

“MALMGREN DESERTED BY MATES;
NOT DEAD WHEN ABANDONED”

It wasn’t until Sunday, July 15, that other New York papers printed the gripping story the Evening Journal had given New York on Friday, July 13.

The Evening Journal is always ACCURATE

“JUST KIDS”

SAFETY CLUB

he “Just Kids” Safety Club idea was originated by Ad Carter, the Evening Journal’s famous cartoonist and creator of the daily comic strip entitled “Just Kids.”

Each boy and girl cut the application blank from the Evening Journal, filled it in, giving name, address, age, proposed by parent or adult and endorsed by boy or girl friend.

The sole purpose of this constructive work was to prevent accidents, save lives, make “Kids” more careful.

Every club member was cautioned to: “Remember to look up and down before crossing the street.”

A total of 413,743 applications to the “Just Kids” Safety Club were received and every member obtained a “Just Kids” Safety Club button.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3.

LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
