GRAHAM,S LADY'S x GENTLEMAN'S
MAGAZINE,
FOR la4a


FOR 1914.
TNEIE January number will he issued on De-
Il cember lOth, ls43. Grahnm's Magazine
mas long enjoyed the enviable reputation of be-
Ing the best periodical in tho United States,
poth in quality and number of cmbel shments,
md in the tone Of its literary matter. 1t is the
lheapest as well as the best. For ths year lsA3
bhe publisher has given about 100 pages more
original reading matter than any of his cotem-
sorarie-, and more original Engravings, in ad-
Riton to tho fashion plates and ooloured flowers.
The cheapncss and merit Of .h,cu-dolar magl-
line over all others, are apparent, which
sas made an outlay of over seven thousand dol
ars greater than others, and an addition Of en-
cravings over other magazines that would chi
bellish the C, etliesL Annual. The publisher is
however satisfied that nothing but real excel
ence can maintain the high position his periods
al has attaiued in the United States, and, as the
hste impr oves and extends for good works, that
othing of hunbug order will BIO tolerated.
Tho publisher docs not hesitate TO say, that lie
lefcs all competition with Graham's Magazine
pr 1874. His immense subscription list, the
hoIit and number Of his contributors, the high
rider of the engTavers engaged, the number and
.arety Of elegant patec already purchased and
In hand, and the ,mm.nse facility which his
d pita and position give him to prosecute the
NJ,
Edicule. Every numbe, Of the work issued,
Eoars with it the evidence OF ITS triumphant euc-
css, and establishes the npossibility Of success
2l competition.
