W.E. (William Ely) Hill (1887-1962) was known for his masterful black and white Sunday page, “Among Us Mortals,” sometimes referred to as the Hill Page.

From this October 17, 1954 edition, titled “The Night Shift” some quotes:

“The 11 P. M. dog walkers, led by a yawner who didn’t want to come out, but the wife made him, because Margot needed the exercise.”

“Scrublady tidying up the office during the night hours. She’s telling another scrublady how much she enjoyed lovable James Stewart in ‘Rear Window.’”
