Now The Georgian Is pursuing an
other advertising program, that of ex

Gerard, who reveals the Innermost se

diplomatic revelations that shed a new

stories in the Philadelphia Public Led

how timely, and how really valuabe
they are—and what a ten-strike The
Georgian has made in securing them
for publication.

Georgian does every newspaper in the

When I reflected upon the con
