Personal from the Editor - Herbert W Armstrong - March 1966

Herbert W Armstrong

THIS IS the second edition of The PLAIN TRUTH with full color inside, as well as the front cover. Of course our first full-color number had not come off the press when I wrote the personal column for the February issue. This is my first opportunity to tell you. I personally picked off the big press the very first copy of that first full-color PLAIN TRUTH, had it specially run through the bindery to be stapled, trimmed, and made complete. And I was disappointed! In big-scale color printing - 740,000 copies that issue - we are just beginners. We still have things to learn, technically. None of us at the Ambassador College Press (Pasadena plant) was satisfied with the color. Our editorial staff was not well pleased. Yet, paradoxically, we all thought it WAS THE BEST ISSUE SO FAR! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
