large amounts had better send drafts, hut
notes will answer if drag's cannot be pro
cured. Wa think we can show how much cheaper
it is to take the Lady's Book at Three Dol
lars than any other magazine at Two Dollars.
We will take a late number of both. The
Two Dollar Magazine contained 36 articles,
the Lady's Book t2.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained 32 en
gravings, the Lady's Book Sd.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained C-J pa
ges, the Lady's Book 100. .
Twenty-four mora engravings, twenty six
more article, and lhiilytU more pages,
nearly double the quantity. The lowest club
price of the Two Dollar 'Magazino is $1,25;
lowest club price of Lady's Book $l,ti7, only
42 cents difference in the'price, which is three
and a half cents on each number, and for that
sum (three anil 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 is
a true statement, which any lady can con
vince herself of by comparing the'two main
lines. TERMS, CASH IV ADVANCE.
