45th Anniversary Issue - A Personal Message From The Plain Truth's Founder and Editor - Herbert W Armstrong - February 1979

Herbert W Armstrong

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - Forty-five years - and still ahead of our time! Seven years ago I wrote on this "Personal" page: "Suppose you had the urge and the ambition to start a new, mass-circulation magazine-but you had no money, no facilities or resources of any kind to get it published, no means of gaining subscribers. "But further, suppose you had the conviction, because it was going to make the truth (God's Word) plain, that neither advertising should be sold, nor subscription price put on it. Further, suppose you had the conviction that it should be a magazine with exceptionally fine quality - not only in its reading content, but in its physical appearance." I think that if you told this urge to the publisher of a national magazine, he would shake his head in derision, perhaps call you a fool, and say, "IT CAN'T BE DONE!" - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
