New Weekly
What is in a name? "$25,000" say the Chicago Tribune and its lusty offspring The News (Manhattan). The public is offered $25,000 for a name. Afterwards the public is expected to buy it back many times over in nickels on the newsstand.
Announcing the publication of a new weekly with fiction, photos, fashions, patterns, fun, editorials, special articles, cartoons, and illustrations, the above newspapers offered $20,000, $4,000, and $1,000 in prizes for a name and a slogan.
The fertile minded readers of the two newspapers came forward with a multitude of suggestions:
TODAY--As Wise as Yesterday and as Fresh as Tomorrow.
THE COMET--A Weekly Trail Blazer of American Thought.
ZEST--A Magazine of the World's Brightest Ideas.
DASH--For the Whole Family.
THE NORTH AMERICAN LEADER--The World's Greatest Weekly.
ACME--The Highest Point in Magazines.
THE ERA--Dedicated to the Golden Now.
THE AUGUSTAN--The Magazine of the Age.
