Ws think we cm 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 30 articlea,
the Lady's Book 62.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained 32 en
gravings, the Lady's Book on.
Th Two Dollar Magazine contained 64 pa
ges. the Lady'a Book 100.
Twenty-four more engravings, twenty six
mor articlea, ana miriy-six more pages
nearly double th quantity. . Tb lowest club
price of the Two Dollar Magazine is $1,25;
lowest club price of Lady' Book 1,07, only
42 cents difference in the price, which is three
and a half cents en each number, and for that
sum (three and a half centa), you receive
twenty-six more articles, twenty-four more
engrv.mgs. and thirty-six more page month
ly certainly a very cheap three and a half
centa' worth. This view of the case haa
probably never before been presented, but it is
a true statement, which any lady can con
vince herself of by comparing the two maga
zines.
