The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1844-03-16
M ZINE,

EyIIE January number will be issued on De-
IL cember 10th, ls43. Graham's Magazine
has long enjoyed the envable reputation Of be-
ing the best period cal in the Emitted States
both in quality md number Of embcl sl.mcnts,
and in the tone of its literary matter. it is the
cheapest as well as the best. For the year 1913
the publisher has given about 100 pages more
original reading matter than any of his cotcm-
porarles, and more original Engravngs, in ad-
dition to the fashion plates and colonred flowers.
The cheapness and merit of thrce-dolar maya
zine over all others, are apparent, which
has made an outlay ofover seven thousand dol
lars greater than others, and an addition of en-
cravings over other magazines that would cm-
belsh the stliesl Annual The publisher is
however satisfied that nothing but real excel
lence can maintain the high position his periodi
cal has attaiued in the United States, and, as tn
taste impro yves and extends for good works. the
nothing of humbug order will be tolerated
The publ sher does not hesitate to say that
defics all competition with Graham's Magaz
for ls4i. His immense subscription list
merit and number of his contributors, the
order of the engravers engaged, the numbe
variety Of elegant plates already purchased and
on hand, and the immense facility which his
ca pital and position give him to prosecute the
work, render any efforts at rivalry a matter of
rdicue. Every number of the York issued,
bears with it the evidence OF its triumphant sue
cess, and establishes the impossblity of SUCCESS
full competition.
Every number of Grahams Magazine Is issued
at cost of nearly Si00O-the plates alone cost
nearly half the sum. Most OF tie plates are from
FROM ORIGINAL P.4LN'IL\ GS,
Executed expressly for the proprietor for en-
cravings for the Magazine. Among the pictures
painted for the volume ioi 1914, are two by
S,,1l,, tb,, L.- I
man, lnman, Conarroe, Rotherme, 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 cos, us
some OF them three times that sum to have them
engraved and worked off for the edition of"Gra-
ham But no cost shall be spared to keep our
proud position sat the head Of the periodical! of
