CHIROPRACTIC
(kiro-prak-tik)
is the most natural method of remov
ing the cause of disease by spinal
adjustment.
The spinal column acts as the trunk
line for the nerves leading from the
brain to various parts of the body. A
slightly misplaced vertebra causes
pressure on nerves, thereby reducing
their energy, lowering the vitality of
the parts they supply, thus causing
disease.
Chiropractic adjustments relieve
these conditions, allowing nature to
restore health. If you have tried ev
erything else to restore health with
out success, don’t get discouraged.
Chiropractic obtains results when all
others fail.
Don’t delay. Every day you wait
makes it more difficult to remove the
cause of your trouble. Investigate
this health method at once. Consul
tation and spinal analysis free.

At Cohasset on Thursday, Dec. 9th
C. K. Blandin of St. Paul has been of great
influence in the development of Grand Rapids
and Itasca county. As president of the Dispatch
Printing company he became interested in the
Itasca Paper company. The growth of that in
stitution, the development of the industries sur
rounding it, are due to his energy and foresight.
The interests of the Itasca Paper company and
Grand Rapids are as one and Mr. Blandin has
for this community visions of what it may at
sometime become.
o o
In the Nov. 27 issue of Leslie’s Weekly was
a short story of the career of C. K. Blandin. It
is an interesting story of struggle and success.
It is reproduced herewith.
“IT ALL SEEMS LIKE A DREAM”
Twenty-nine years ago a lad of 18 founded a
newspaper, the Sanborn Sentinel, at Sanborn,
Minnesota. The “founding” consisted of select
ing a name. That important detail out of the
way, he went to St. Paul to secure equipment to
make his boyish dream a reality. In spite of
six years spent in a printing office, he did not
know just what he needed. He talked for three
days with a salesman in a type foundry and
picked out an equipment. When the time came
to pay for it, he frankly confessed that he would
have to give his note.
“But how much can you pay down?” per
sisted the salesman.

“I can’t pay anything down,” was the truth
ful answer.
Baffled, the salesman turned the boy over
to the president of the concern. The latter was
a bit nettled.
“Do you mean to say,” he demanded, “that
you have had the gall to use three days’ time of
our salesman when you had no money to pay for
your equipment?”
“Yes, sir.”
The president gasped. “Why, why—” he
stammered, “in that case, I believe I’ll let you
have it!”
C. K. Blandin was the name of the boy; today
he is publisher of the St. Paul Pioneer Press and
the St. Paul Dispatch, the two leading news
papers in the capital city of Minnesota. “But,”
^dds Mr. Blandin. “I had to borrow S4O of
the president of that concern to pay the freight
on the stuff.”
In two years he sold out and went to Wis
consin to engage in the fruit and commission
business with $2,000 in his Docket. “It took me
only eight months to lose it,” is Mr. Blandin’s
laconic comment.
He then came to the Twin Cities with $5 in
his jeans seeking a job. He naturally turned to
the newspaper offices, preferring a job in an
editorial For davs he walked the
streets unable to find an opening.

At last the Minneapolis Tribune advertised
for subscription solicitors, house-to-house can
vassers. Blandin got a job on a commission. His
back was to the wall, he had to fight, for his
life depended on it. In two years he was assis
tant circulation manager of the Tribune. Then
he went to St. Paul as circulation manager for
the Pioneer Press. This paper had only 5,000
St. Paul subscribers at that time.

the Pioneer Press. But Blandin went with the
assets of the firm, becoming business manager,
eventually general manager. When Mr. George
Thompson, the publisher, died, Blandin became
publisher in his own right.
