Magazine for Blind
As a result of special presses and other apparatus developed by a blind man, persons who suffer a similar affliction are able to enjoy a monthly magazine. Its first appearance was so successful that it has now been increased to 60 pages and has national circulation, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. For the first time in their lives many blind subscribers have been able to read advertisements and other matter common to the usual publication. Heretofore most of their reading matter has been limited to books, and in some localities few of these have been obtainable. The magazine is printed in raised characters.
