I believe The National Observer was a Dow-Jones publication that didn't last too long. And I'm also pretty sure that Charles Preston, the editor of The Wall Street Journal's “Pepper . . . and Salt” cartoons for over fifty years (and still going), also handled the cartoons for this publication.
Never could figure out why The Saturday Review (of Literature) bought this “blind umpire” sports cartoon, but was very glad that they did.
