The Two Dollar Magazine contained 64 pa

Twenty-four inore engravings, twenty six
more articles, and thirty-six more pages,
nearly double the Quantity. The lowest club
price of the Two 'Dollar Magazine is $1,25;
lowest club price of Lady's Book $l,t7, only
42 cents difference in the price, which is three
and a half cents on each number, and for that
um (three and a half cents), you receive
twenty-six more articles, twenty-four more
engravings, and thirty-six more pages month
ly certainly a very cheap three and a half
cents Worth. This view of the case has
probably never before been presented, but it ia
