16 Try It at My Expense — Not Yours IF YOU are not a reader of MUNSEY'S MAGAZINE I want you to become one. I want you to know what it is like, and to know at my expense, if the magazine does not suit you. If it does suit you, and the price is right, you will naturally wish to pay for it. There isn't much in the theory of getting something f or nothing. MUXSEY'S Magazine is worth your knowing. It was MUNSEY'S Maga zine that led off a dozen years ago in the low price for magazines — ten cents a copy and one dollar by the year. It was the fight we had with a giant News Company monopoly that made MUNSEY'S Magazine possible, and that blazed the way for all other publishers whose magazines are issued at the price of MUNSEY'S. But this is too big and too graphic a story to be told in this advertisement. Munsey's Magazine has the bicrpfest circulation of any standard magazine in the world — much the biggest And it has made it and held it solely on its merits. In a dozen years we have not spent a dozen cents in advertising. We have no agents in the field — n<>t an agent anywhere — we have given no premiums, have clubbed with no other publications, and hare offered no inducements of any kind whatsoever. We have made a magazine for the people, giving them what they want, and giving it to them at a right price — that's all. And the people have bought it because they like it and because they could buy it at a right price. Our object in advertising now is to reach a few hundred thousand new readers — people who are not now taking M U X SE Y'S M AG AZ I N E. A Ten Thousand Dollar Magazine For Ten Cents Though there are a good many three dollar and four dollar magazines in America, there is none better than MUNSEY'S, whatever the price — not one. There is no higher grade magazine, there is none better printed or printed on better paper, and there is none better or more carefully edited none better written, and few, if any, so interesting. It costs in round numbers about ten thousand dollars a number to go to press ou MUXSEY'S MAGAZINE. That is to say, if only one copy were printed it would cost ten thousand dollars, but spreading this cost over our entire edition of 750.000 copies, the amount gets down very thin on each individual copy. When I first made this price, a dozen years ago, everybody said it was impossible— said we couldn't live — said we were bound to fail. We did live, however, and today are publishing a thousand tons of magazines a month, which is fifty car loads. This is more than three times as many magazines as were issued by all the publishers combined of the entire country when I came into the business. It is because I am so sure of the merits of MUXSEY'S MAGAZINE, and so sure it will please you. that I am now otfering to send it to you without any money in advance, and without any money at all if it does not please you. I can afford to take this chance, which, as I see it, is a very small chance, because I believe thoroughly in the ragged honesty of the people. The percentage of dishonesty among the citizens of America is far too small for consideration in a business proposition of this kind. There is no trick in this offer — no hidden scheme of any kind what ever. It is a simple, straightforward, business proposition which will cost you nothing unless you wish it to. The All-Story Magazine Also Free I will not only send you MUNSEY'S MAGAZINE, as stated above, but Will send you three months tree, in addition. THE ALL STORY MAGA ZINE a which is another of our publications. I add this other magazine for two reasons. First, that you may have the choice of two magazines, and second" the thought that you may want both. If this proposition interests you, and I hardly see how it could be made more to your interest, kindly (ill out the coupon in this advertisement and mail it to me, and you will get the magazines as stated herein.

It proved thai only the seams had to be calked, but that the cog Thomas was out of fresh water. The ships moored therefore near the Isle of Brechoii, where springs were to be found.

' Will I come, Simon' By my hilt! I shall be right glad to put my foot on tin | ; . brown earth once more.
