Grnham,s L.ady,sand Gentleman's
MAGAZINE, FOR lslA.

The January Will % iS@Aieo "a
December 10Th Ss4S.
Graham's Magazine has long enjoyed
the enviable reputation Of being The beat
periodical in the United States, both IN the
quality and number Of its establishment,
and in the tone Of its literary matter. IL
is the cheapest as we'll as the best. The
cheapness and merit Of u three.dollar ma
sazine over all others are apparent, which
has made an outlay Of ovefseven thousand
dollars greater THAI others, and an addi-
ton OF eHsrav'nss over o;her magazines
that would embellish the c~osliiest animal.
The pub'isher is, however, satisfied that
nothing but real excellence can maihtain
the high position his periodical has atain-
ed in The Udited States, aud, as the taste
improves and extends for good works,that
nothing OF a humbug order will be tolera
| ted.
The publisher does not hesitate to say,
that he defies all competition with Gra-
hams Magazine for 1914. His immense
subscription list, The merit and number Of
his contributors, the high order Of the a
! sravers enEsged, the number and variety
oil elegant plates already purchased and on
hand, aud The Immense facility which his
capital and position give him to prosecute
The wotk, render any efforts at rivalry q
matter Of ridicule. Every number Of the
wOSk issued, bears with il the evidence Of
rs t%f;umphans success, and esiabli she's the
'mpOssibiIity o. successful competition.
Every number OF Graaam's Magazine
issurdat a cost Of nearly $4O0O--:he plates
alone cost nearly half the SUN. Most Of
the pl,tes are from original American pam
tings. executed expressly tor the proprie-
TOT. To- eagravinss ior the Magazine. A
,nong the pictures painted for the volume
Tor 1914, are two by Sully, the great artist,
several by Leutzs, Chapman, lnman, Gen.
a'oe, ROihermel, Thompson, and Others of
The besl artists Of America. The cost Of
getting up embellishments in this style,
may op estimated when we state that some
OF these pictures cost $500 a piece, and
will cost US some OF them three times that
SUN 10 have them engraved and worked
:. of Tor .he edition Of Graham. But no cost
shall be spared to keep our proud position
at ths heed Of The periodicals Of the world.
