Working in a two-room office over a car dealership in Honesdale, Pennsylvania, with a tiny band of co-workers, the Myerses created the first issue of the magazine they had long imagined. Printed in June 1946, the first issue ran over 20,000 copies. Sixty years later, in June 2006, the one-billionth copy of the magazine rolled off the presses, just in time for the company's 60th anniversary. Today, Highlights for Children is committed to the same values that guided the Myerses' work. Their belief that children experience fun and joy when they use their innate creativity, curiosity, thinking ability and imagination, as well as the Founders' commitment to the motto "Fun with a Purpose," can still be found on every page of Highlights magazine, and in an expanding family of products. This magazine of wholesome fun is dedicated to helping children grow in basic skills and knowledge, in creativeness, in ability to think and reason, in sensitivity to others, in high ideals and worthy ways of living – for children are the world’s most important people.
