MAGAZINE,

TaTlE January number will lie issued on De-
n cember 10Th, 1913. Graham's Magazine
has long enjoyed the enviablc reputation Of be.
ing the best periodical in the United States
both i'll quality end numl er OF cnbellis lments
and in the tone of its literary matter. 1t is the
cheapest as well as the best. For the wear Is 10
the publisher has given about 100 pages more
original reading matter than any of his cotcm-
porarics, and more original Engravings in adj
dition to the fashion plates and coloured flowers.
The chcapness and merit OLA three-dolar maya
zine over all others, are apparent, which
has made an outlay Of over seven thousand dol
lars greater than others, and an addition of en-
cravings over other magazines that would en-
bellish the ccstlicst Annual. The publisher is
| however satisfied that nothing but real excel
| lence can maintain the high position his period
cal has attaiucd in the United States, and, as tn
taste improves and extends for good works, the
! nothing ola humbug order will he tolerated
| The publ shcr does not hesitate to saw that
deies all competition with Graham's Magaz
| for 1914. His immense subscription list
| merit and number Of his contributors, the
| order OF the englavers engaged the nun be
variety of elegant plates already purchased and
on hand, and the immense facility which his
ctptal and position give him to prosecute the
work, render any efforts ut rivalry matter of
ridicnle Every number of the work issued,
bears with it the evidence of ITS triumphant sue
cess, and establishes the impossbty of success
full competition.
Every number of Graham's Magazine is issued
at a cost Of nearly S4O00--the plates alone cost
nearly half the sum. Most of tie plates are from
FROM original P9LN7LN GS,
Executed expressly for the proprietor, for en-
cravings for the Magazine. Among the pictures
painted for the volume fol 1874, are two by |
Suly, the great artist, several by Leutze, Chnp-
man, innan, Conarroe, Rothernel, Thompson |
and others OF the best artists of America. The |
cost OF getting mp embellishments in this STYLE, |
may be estimated when we state that some OF
these pictures cost $500 piece, and will cost us
some of them three times that sum to have them
engraved and worked off for the edition of"G IA
ham But no cost shall be spared to keep our
proud position sat the head Of The periodical; of
the world
