THAT is part of a letter the Editor of the Woman's Home Companion received from a reader. It is but one of four thousand letters very much . like it. To be exact, 4,100 letters came (and more are coming daily) in imme diate response to an announcement in the February Companion of a service to families of soldiers who seek news of boys in France. A second announcement and de scription of this, remarkable service is in the March Companion. Four thousand appealing letters filled with heart breaking true stories too intimate and sacred to quote here pleading for information about four thousand big strapping American boys in France. Stop and think that over for a moment. What sort of ;umj magazine is this that brings such words from its readers as those quoted above? What must be the attitude toward this magazine that mothers and young wives and girl sweet hearts will confide in it in this manner? Confidence. That is it. A confidence that is bred of long and sincere service. When the Companion described this new service, its readers knew that the service would be rendered. And they respond ed in numbers really re markable, considering the In the March Issue of the Woman's Home Companion Roland Phillip describes the search in France for soldiers, killed, wounded, sick, missing, or not heard from. This search is being carried on by the American Red Cross Bureau of Communication of which Mr. Phillips, the Companion's contributor, is a member. Read "Perhaps I Can Help You" in the March Companion limited list of American boys not. heard from. The Companion is proud of having more-than-a-million readers but it is far more proud of what created and holds those readers. It is a worth-while feeling to have evidence that, in the hearts of these more than a million women, other maga zines can not replace the Com panion any more than your host of acquaintances can re place your one real friend. The Companion has the same confidence in its readers that its readers have in it. That should mean some thing to you, too that con fidence which more than a million women readers place in the Woman's Home Com- panion. And that confidence which the Woman's Home Companion places in its readers.
