(1) THE COVER WAS A "NORMAN ROCKWELL" PAINTING*WHICH THE ROCKWELL COLLECTORS LATER SOUGHT FOR THEIR COLLECTIONS. (2) MOST OF THE BACK COVERS HAD A SUNKIST ORANGE JUICE AD(WHICH WAS ALSO A FAVORITE OF CERTAIN COLLECTORS. (3) IT WAS "WARTIME" AND MANY PEOPLE RECYCLED THEIR PAPER/MAGAZINES THROUGH "PAPER DRIVES" HELD WEEKLY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.  THE COLLECTORS...I.E. THE "NORMAN ROCKWELL" COLLECTORS AND THE "SUNKIST ORANGE" AD COLLECTORS OFTEN TORE THEIR COLLECTIBLE COVERS FROM THE MAGAZINE AND THEN DISCARDED THE REMAINDER OF MAGAZINE WHILE THE "ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS" MEMBERS THOUGHT THE "ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS" ARTICLE WAS AN EXCELLENT "TWELVE STEP TOOL"  THEY TORE OUT THE ARTICLE AND WOULD CARRY IT WITH THEM RATHER THAN HAVE TO LUG THE ENTIRE MAGAZINE AROUND(AA WAS LATER GIVEN PERMISSION TO "REPRINT" THIS "FAMED" JACK ALEXANDER ARTICLE AND THIS WAS  SENT OUT WITH ALL CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE NEW YORK OFFICE TO PEOPLE INQUIRING ABOUT AA.(I ALSO HAVE ONE OF THE ORIGINAL PAMPHLETS IF INTERESTED) SO PERHAPS YOU CAN SEE HOW COME THERE ARE NOT THAT MANY THAT HAVE SURVIVED IN COMPARISON TO HOW MANY WERE PRINTED... THIS ARTICLE VIRTUALLY  PUT "ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS" ON THE MAP OR IF YOU PREFER BEFORE THE EYES OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC. IT IS/WAS SO SIGNIFICANT THAT IT IS MENTIONED IN ALMOST EVERY HISTORY OF AA'S EARLY BEGINNINGS AND SUCH HISTORY WOULD NOT BE COMPLETE WITHOUT IT. . ... .
