HAL COFFMAN, Artist Extraordinary
Portrays News and Sports Events
He takes the motive back of the day’s news for his text and makes his pictures preach a powerful sermon. With unerring skill he packs the “cause and effect” of a lifetime story into a single drawing. He is equally gifted in portraying the serious or humorous side of any big news or sports event. The New York Evening Journal is Coffman’s pulpit. He addresses the largest congregation of evening newspaper readers in America through the Evening Journal.
