of this unique forlll were careiully studied.

The publishers have heen moret ha n p le as ed w it h t he p os si bi li ties of the magaz ine form. Thisweek the standard six-column' pagc s iz e h as b ee n temporarily

restored for one reason-thed emand o f s ev er al l ar ge a dv er tisers for greater space from

It is believed that th e convenient page-size wil l be restored

at a later d at e. T hi s will be conditional upon the wil lingness ofa number of other sub urb anpapers to conform. so that largeradvertisers may find it worththei r wh ile to des ign specia l copyfo r the magaz ine size.
