" I Was So Impressed With The Use Of Photographs That I Began To Promote The Idea Of Photographing The Great Changes That Were Taking Place In America. Practically All Of The Pictures In My Magazine Were Of People, And Some Of Them Were Used In A Comic Manner. I Never Saw Anything Of The Main Streets Of Little Towns With Big Signs, 'Store For Rent,' And No Shots Of Rusting Coal Cars And Idle Tipples And Smokeless Smokestacks Along The Roads I Drove On My Way Back To West Virginia To Visit My People. I Decided If I Couldn't Make A Movie, I Would Collect News Photographs And Do A Picture Book In The Form Of A Newsreel With Large Captions At The Top And Concise News Photographs Alongside The Big Pictures."
