...pair of shears is visible when the Henry Romeike clipping crew is at work full blast in its Manhattan loft. About 60 young women sit at benches, expertly scanning the 1,900 dailies and 5,000 weeklies which have been sorted from great stacks of mail bags. (Newspaper subscriptions are a bureau's largest expense excepting labor.) Pasted on a wall before each girl's eyes is a typewritten list of clients and subjects most difficult to remember.

...Cleveland department stores last week offered the "Ballyhoo" scarf (with "Ballyhoo" clip), made with a crazy quilt design like the magazine's cover border. Also there are a Ballyhoo dress, necktie, cuff links, rings, night club (in Manhattan), song, game, birthday card, convalescent card, saloon (in Havana, formerly the American Bar), a statuet of Gandhi with a copy of Ballyhoo under his arm. Except for the game, all the other enterprises are independent of the publication which takes its royalties in the form of free advertising...
