40 the Ladies Of TIE United states.


Il being now conceded that GoDEY's LADY's
[ Book, stands at the head Of American Magazines,
it becomes the duty Of the publisher to show every
Lady what amount Of reading, and how many use
ful embellishments she will receive for So.
/ Be not deceived by new beginners, who promise
everything and perform nothing. Now is about the
season when the country will be delUged by pros
pectuses-msking all kinds of promises. The La
dys Book has been published by the present pro-
prietor for Is years-Hnd he is well known 10 the
public, and publishers throughout the United States.
His promises are always kept which is not the case
with all other Magazines for instance in every No.
he publishes a oolored Fashion plate, and gives 90
pages Of reading matter, and sometimes more
There is not another magazine published that does
this-sometmes with them the plates are colored,
and again they are not-some months 60 pages, and
others as. The reason is obvious, the coloring Of
our fashion plates alone, We say thing Of the how
ers and cottages costs US over g 900 in one year.
To emit this is certainly a saving butt It just to
subscribers. Isithonorable! We cannot practice
\ such deception. Wewere the first to give fashion
plates, we have hosts Of mitators who boast won
derfully; We have no need to bolster up the Lady 5
own Book by such means Paris fashions as pub
lshed in Paris-the ladies Of this country dare not
wear; they are altered by one Of our most fashion,
able dress-makers to suit the more refined taste Of
American Ladies.
/ Compare our reading matter with any other mag
azine, see which contains the most solid as well as
pleasing reading Our object is to elevate the ie-
male mind, to give it tone, and to enable women to
( take that place in the community to which their
worth entities them.
