When his wife protested that she hadn't enough room to do the washing, he moved his Webster Publishing Co. (named after Noah and Daniel) to two rat-infested rooms on the riverfront. Within three years, Webster's sales amounted to $102,000. By 1928, they had doubled. By 1931, W.P. had another idea...

...first place, four-fifths of the nation's gastric cancer victims are suitable cases, for surgery. If operated on in time, there would be high hope for the majority of them. But the surgery available in most parts of the country is not good enough: although half the patients now die, there are "islands" in this sea of mortality where only one patient out of 20 dies. Among such islands: the Mayo Clinic, University of Minnesota Hospital and Manhattan's Memorial Hospital...
