Arrangements have now been completed for the turningof the Pulp and Paper Magazine into a weeklypublication, this forward step to be made on the firstof January, 1917.
Four years ago the present publishers of the Pulpand Paper Magazine purchased that Journal from theBigger & Wilson Company. It was then a small sizedpaper, published once a month. The first step takenby the new publishers was to enlarge its size to thepresent dimensions and publish it twice a month. Nowa second forward step has been taken and the publicationwill shortly appear as a weekly.
No better evidence of the prosperity and progressmade by the pulp and paper industry can be giventhan that furnished by the Pulp and Paper Magazine.It has grown in size, in circulation, in influence, andin usefulness, and today is the official organ of thetechnical section of the Pulp and Paper Association,and occupies a commanding place among the Pulpand Paper Publications on the Continent. Under theleadership of the Pulp and Paper Magazine the CanadianPulp and Paper Association was formed, theForest Products Laboratory at McGill Universitycreated, and the Technical Section of the Pulp andPaper Association made a possibility.
Much of the success which has come to the Pulpand Paper Magazine must be attributed to the twoeditors who have given it their best services, namelyMr. A. G. McIntyre and Mr. Roy Campbell. As editorsof the Pulp and Paper Magazine, they both have donemuch to further the best interests of the industry, andthose associated with it.
Arrangements have been completed whereby ProfessorJ. Newell Stephenson, now head of the ForestryDepartment of the University of Maine at Orono, willtake over the editorship of the Pulp and Paper Magazinewhen it launches on its career as a weekly. Somefacts regarding the new editor appear elsewhere inthis issue.
A somewhat serious crisis has arisen here in the relationshipbetween the newspaper publishers and thenews print manufacturers. A few days ago a meetingof the Canadian Press Association was held in Toronto
