Man Who Vowed to Kill the Kill-Joys: Fiction House's John W. Glenister

The Fiction House story can't be told without distribution pioneer, anti-Prohibition activist, and champion swimmer John W. Glenister.
Glenister would become a noteworthy anti-Prohibition activist during this period, while also taking seriously the threat of film industry censorship that was developing at this time as well. And this was after he had become a major force in the development of the Independent Distribution system in the United States, a respected magazine executive, and a nationally famous athlete. While John W. Glenister died at the age of 63 on October 14, 1937 — less than a year before the fiction magazine publishing company he founded with John B. Kelly entered the comic book business — his larger-than-life sensibilities would remain thoroughly embedded in Fiction House for that company's lifespan. The Fiction House story can't be told without discussing the early career of #JohnWGlenister.

Tuscarawas County was not immune from the violence associated with the Era of Prohibition. The bombing of the Bowers’ home in New Philadelphia, Ohio in 1921 was one such example of that violence.
