爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
It was this comprehensive personal service, built up back of the magazine from the start, that gave the periodical so firm and unique a hold on its clientele. It was not the printed word that was its chief power: scores of editors who have tried to study and diagnose the appeal of the magazine from the printed page, have remained baffled at the remarkable confidence elicited from its readers. They never looked back of the magazine, and therefore failed to discover its secret. Bok went through three financial panics with the magazine, and while other periodicals severely suffered from diminished circulation at such times, The Ladies' Home Journal always held its own. Thousands of women had been directly helped by the magazine; it had not remained an inanimate printed thing, but had become a vital need in the personal lives of its readers.

白话
这本杂志成功的关键，不是文章写得多好，而是从一开始就建立了一套贴心的个人服务。很多编辑只研究杂志上的文字，却搞不懂读者为什么那么信任它，因为他们没看到杂志背后的服务。博克经历过三次经济恐慌，别的杂志发行量都大跌，这本却稳住了。因为成千上万的女性直接得到过帮助，杂志对她们来说不是印出来的纸，而是生活里离不开的东西。所以，想留住读者，光靠内容不够，得真正帮他们解决实际问题，让他们觉得你可靠、有用。
