Our decision, reached reluctantly and sadly, was forced by spiraling costs which, in the complex of the current magazine industry, gave no signs of receding. Our subscribers will shortly be contacted by the Reader's Digest and the Curtis Publishing Company who have agreed to fulfill the unexpired portions of all subscription contracts. Though the reasons for the demise of the magazine are etched in the red ink of the business ledger, a magazine is, paradoxically, something other than a business. It is a living contact. No communication medium--newspaper radio station, TV channel or whatever--possesses the unique universality of a magazine. At select intervals it crosses deserts, mountains, rivers and even continents delivering its message to advocates who await it with their special pride of special choice. It gives off a glow of personality as it confides its discreet observations on worldly matters, with its own champions, as friends are confident of each other. Thus, when it must depart, it does so not unlike a human--bereft of material body but ever available in spirit. In the quarter-century of our tenure we look back on published adventures and experiments which helped cut new paths in creative journalism. It was a stunning generation for a magazine to grow up in; a period buffeted by contrasts such as our history had never before seen. Never had we known such a cruel depression and such affluence when it ended; such a destructive war and such temple-high hopes for peace; such caves of tyranny and such advances in human sovereignty; and such eruptions in manners, morals, mores and communications. And we note, as we browse nostalgically through our files, how our writers, artists and photographers always tread the rim of the event to fashion that special reaction which separates the banal from the artistic. This very month, exactly twenty-five years after we began, Harper and Bros. publishes a volume entitled FABULOUS YESTERDAY, 25 Years with CORONET, featuring the best of the magazine's efforts during its lifetime. Edited by the last editor the magazine will ever have, the book hopes to recapture the drama of the era as one magazine saw it. The era is gone and now the magazine too. But many events that happened in that period will affect events of a future period. And much of Coronet's editorial experience will affect the editorial experience of magazines yet to be published. And for that reason the memories of both can never, in our time, really fade out. --- ARTHUR STEIN, Publisher; LEWIS W. GILLENSON, Editor. This description copyright MOREMAGAZINES.
