In order to place the work in the hands of such as
may not feel willing to pay the more expensive prices
OF monthly magazines the proprietor has Determined
to publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and unllustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 so per year for sin

four pages for cent

may know how TO regulate issues
The trade will be served at very liberal rates
