HIGH GLASS READERS
COSMOPOLITAN GIVES WASHING
TON RARE OPPORTUNITY.

Circulaton-just the right circulation-is
the most important question with any news
paper or magazine, and the homes of the
people are those which all publications most
desire to reach. Transient readers are de-
sirable. of course. but to become a daily or
monthly visitor in the home-to become a
part of the home life--is the highest aim Of
the progressive publisher
That's the case with The Star and it goes
daily,into very large percentage of Wash
ington homes. 1t is an institution.
1t was just this sort of circulation that
the Cosmopolitan Magazine had in mind
when 1t recently determined to quickly add
$4,000 high-class home subscribers to its
already large general circulation.
1t wasn't an easy matter at all. but Cos
mopolitan went about it in the right way.
1t resolved to arrange a proposition so gen.
uine and wholesome and attractive that the
people-the right people-would see the op-
portunity at glance. To do just the right
thing might prove expensive at the outset,
but that wasn't matter to be reckoned
with. 1t wasn't a question of immediate
profit, but of future popularity and pres
tige.
~ Cosmopolitan knew it must make an offer
quite out of the ordinary; that 1t must do
something that had not been done before,
and that 1t would be hard to surpass. 1t,
therefore, aimed high and finally succeeded
in securing the entire output for 1907 of the
las. which every one knows to be a great
general reference work.
Makes Sweeping Reduction.
1t had always been sold at a very high
price, but Cosmopolitan resolved to make
sweeping reduction without affecting the
high standard Of the work. 1t had the Gen.
fury Company prepare a very large edition,
thus bringing down the cost of individual
sets
The next step was to cut off all the big
commissions that had always been paid to
book agents selling the Century.
These two important economies, with
others. brought the price down to bedrock
only $500 for the complete work. coupled
with two years subscription to Cosmopol-
itan. the whole transaction being arranged
in convenient payments.
Thousands Of the sets were quickly dis
tributed throughout the country, but Co.'S
mopolitan decided to apportion the remain
DER or the edition among the larger cities
!; some sets to Washington, of course.
The limited allotment here was intrusted
TO woodward Lothrop for distribution
through their book department, and that de-
partment Is now a scene of busy activity
Tor Washington folk know good thing
and are quick to take advantage of it.
