Only two or three other screen writers, besides Twist, came from reading departments. Off-hand I can name only Dalton Trumbo and Marian Dix—and there are scores of readers in Hollywood. John Twist was a forgotten man, like the rest, for nearly eight years. He'd been wanting to fiction and ‘plays, and he thought the reading de tment might be an “in.” He soon found out, however. He turned to that other maxim of the writing craft: “If you want to write—write. In spare time he wrote pulp fiction, and plays. Two of his plays had encouraging tryouts, this side of Broadway. But for the movies—he was a reader. He must have been an exceptional reader, at that. day when the screen was loud with gang bullets, he suggested that “Little Women” might make a good movie.

Sometimes he caught hell for it—but one day Cliff Reid, a producer who'll gamble on talent, sent for him. He had just seen one of John's “synopses.” Cliff saw the green grass on his own side of the fence. He put John Twist to writing. Twist's belt assignment to date is on Reid’s “The Great Man Votes.” This is an old magazine story (1926) that Reid stumbled on three years ago—his pet discovery. And so it worked out for John Twist. read. . .." E “If you want to write— The Ritzes are still with us. . . .

The milk will be clean, pure, and safe from contamination. Special milk ns will serve the larg: »s, rushing the precious fluid at express speed direct from cows to customers. In no other land do con- sumers enjoy such a wonderful milk distribu- tion system as we have in this country. In Iurope, milkmen still dip milk from their cans into the open containers of householders. Only neration ago, our own milk sup- initary and the source of much Jacteria in milk took a staggering death toll among babies. Since then a mar- velous change has come about. Today the dairying industry is almost a miracle of cleanliness and rigid sanitation. In the mod- ern dairy, every piece of equipment is taken apart, scrubbed, and completely sterilized twice eve ay—an eight-hour job. This serupulous care saves the lives of thousands of babies every year. i g Besides making this important food safe for babies and grown-ups, the milk industry has conducted a widespread educational campaign, through advertising, to make bet- ter known the great health value of drinking milk. As a result, the public now consumes one-third more milk per capita. The use of cheese and other milk products has also been sharply increased by advertising. The dairy- in~ industry now provides farmers with one- {'fth of their total income, and is actually the bicgest industry in the United States. development of the country’s milk is an educational story. It illustrates the progress in food merchandising, which has improved the quality of almost every- thing you serve on your table. It is interest- ing to see how important a part advertising plays in stimulating this progress. Every housewife over forty remembers the old-fashioned grocery store where her mother bought the family food, much of it scooped out of open bins and barrels, where it was exposed to dirt and smells. The cat in the cracker barrel was no fairy tale in those days, but the flies really got first chance at eyerything. All this is changed now. Modern food stores are models of cJeanliness. Their neatly arranged counters and shelves are lined with attractive packages, cans, and bot- tles of well-prepared foods. Not only are these processed foods clean and attractive. They also save many weary hours of kitchen labor for every housewife. Perfectly baked bread wrapped in wax paj fresh ground coffee in cans, ready-cooked breakfast foods, mixed pancake flour, canned fruits and vegetables of every conceivable variety. A total of 125,000,000 tons of pack- aged and processed foods was produced in this country in 1985. A ton for every nmn woman, and child! This great change has been brought about by modern merchandising methods. The demands of up-to-date merchandising reach back into the food factories and con- trol the processing and packaging. Advertis- ing is the most compelling force in the whole system, forcing manufacturers to devote every resource to giving the consumer better” values in quallty, safety, and convenience. Advertising is the housewife’'s friend and helpmate. Copyright 1938, Advertis ng Federation of Amerws |
