In what year was Reader's Digest first published?

Just curious. I remember them making a big deal about their 75th anniversary a while back, but I’m not sure what year thatwas.

Off to google.com, searching for “Reader’s Digest” first published, and the first link says

Back in 1922, DeWitt and Lila Wallace published their first issue of Reader’s Digest, sold exclusively by mail and priced at 25¢. Working out of their Greenwich Village apartment, the Wallaces printed 5,000 copies with 31 carefully selected articles including “The Future of Poison Gas,” “Wanted: Motives for Motherhood” and “Advice from a President’s Physician.”

So, 1997 was their 75th anniversary.
