The woman's World, of Chicago, is a
popular magazine that supplies at an
annual subscription price Of 20 cents
the masses living in small towns and
rural districts with reading matter, sim
liar to that OF the magazines selling at
10 cents a copy. The best known writ
ers are among our contributors. Its
high-grade character and low price have
made 1t the favorite with that element
which forms the largest percentage of
our population. AS over 10000. 900 live

Magazines as Great Dividend-Payers
The history of the magazine business
shows that enormous profits there are
in it. Munsey's Magazine shares, par
value 500, are now said to be worth
$l,2oo, paying monthly dividends of
500. Yet, Munsey's has less than one
third the circulation of the Woman's
World. The Ladies' Home Journal does
an animal business of $4,000, 900. All
well-known magazines have made and
are making fortunes. The late Mr.. p.
r. Collier, of Golfers weekly, left an
estate of over 100000. why shouldn't
the woman's World, with additional IA
%cilities, pay better than any of these
with its larger circulation and higher
advertising rate?
The larger the circulation, the higher
the adv ertising rate, Even now our ad-

In addition we are turning down about
$40, 600 undesirable advertising a month.
Our business, profitable from the start,
has grown so fast that within the past
few years we had to move several times
to larger quarters II is now housed ole in

were $50, O0O-while but $500 is neces-
sary TO meet the 9 per cent yearly div
idend on our preferred shares.
On this basis the annual profits would
be $236, 000-more than sufficient to pay
