AId ADVERTISING RATES.

According to Printers Ink page
ad in a single issue of the leading
magazines is as follows:
"Scribner's $500, Century $3.50, Hsr-

Notwithstanding these hign
prices these magazines are full OF

shows that the advertisers are sat

"Munsey's magazine for October
contained l62 pages of advertising
