Stories

Notes: Seeks feedback on what readers like and don't like in the magazine.
Notes: Tie-in to the Professor Quiz radio program (CBS, 1936-1941; ABC, 1941-1948), including a photo of the host, Dr. Craig Earl.
Notes: This ad for the magazine is a parody of the contemporary advertisements for Lucky Strike cigarettes, with their catch phrase, "So round, so firm, so fully packed." Just as "L.S./M.F.T." was an abbreviation for "Lucky Strike means fine tobacco," MAMFR was explained as "Miss America means finer reading."
