SUCCESS IS EXPANSION © Too many of us think that becduse a man labors hard “and is thrifty his aim in life is to earn plenty money.’ But that is not the case with the American business ‘man, with a rare exception here and there. His object it to’ expand, improve in every way that will promote his business in- terests. That has been the attitude of L. P. Artman ever since he took over the ownership of The Citizen. Hometown folks may not have noticed his improvements, except in a measure, or his issuing as good a paper as he could have “,done in the circumstances, but it has been-evident to out- siders, particularly those in the newspaper field. In 1923, Olin W. Kennedy, then the managing editor of The Miami Herald, marveled at the type of paper Mr. -Artman was getting out at the time. Mr. Kennedy said, “Bean’t understand how you are able to do it, considering the small amount of advertising patronage you get.” «The best possible” has been Mr. Artman’s aim, and SHE fas kept up with that attitude ever since he bought, :,. the’ Citizen from T. T. Thompson and Marcy. Dagnell.

Crawford, new . S. Commissioner of Food and Drugs, who points out that. this country “has the most abundant and nutritious food supply, aid is enjoying the best health, of any na- ign in histopy.”” With thi introduction, Mr. Crawford tashes ‘ut at thefood quacks, who. tell us that our food is of poor quali- : ty and that*we- are ‘sufferingefror that they assert that “every aligease, af wile says e er and {5 Faget failure to irritability’ ahd Ghebnints eer aE by = “P4lpptrition. Then, they insist “that we can’t get well and Saervell, or look younger or live longer, unless we sup- hag sPlement our diet with their particular kind of some out-, food, usually unpalatable, or start dosing our- ssotelves with some simple vitamin or mineral mixture.” The statement ofthe new Commissioner sounds sen- sibleé.and speaks the truth. We agree with him that a vig- orous campaign of spreading the ‘truth is needed in this ~—=—"eOtiitty and that the people ought to have the facts in or- _..... der to avoid the consequences of believing all that the | quacks and advertisements assert and new medical marvels, ee ee MANAGES TO GE pee “G The highest paid executive in the United States dar: ing the year 1950 was GharlesjR.
