THERE IS SOMETHING REMARKABLE when a magazine can treble its circulation in four years. Four years ago the circulation of MCCALL'S MAGAZINE--Fashions and Literature for Ladies--was 200,000. Today the circulation is more than SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND COPIES A MONTH. Every lady who receives McCall's Magazine has paid for it in advance 50 CENTS FOR ONE YEAR. While there are six hundred thousand women who pay in advance to receive McCall's Magazine regularly we believe there are many times this number who would subscribe had they an opportunity of seeing a copy. We will send--without charge--a recent issue to every lady who asks us--a postal card will do. When you see a copy you will know why so many ladies look upon McCall's Magazine as a necessity.
