Samuel James Campbell

[3] He operated several farms that raised Angus cattle and owned the Kable News Company of Mount Morris, Illinois, a national distributor of magazines.

Campbell subsequently studied at Beloit College through 1913,[6] and received a Bachelor of Arts in economics from Stanford University in 1914.

[7] Campbell's "Kable News Co." was listed as distributor of thirty three comic titles during the United States Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency's investigation into a possible connection between comic books and juvenile delinquency.

In 1955 Pettibone arranged to have Campbell invited to a stag dinner at the White House where he met President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

He was invited again in 1957 for a dinner (indefinitely postponed) to be given in honor of President René Coty of France.
