HENRY L. SHEPARD & CO/S PUBLICATIONS. 



OUR MAGAZINE, AMERICAN HOMES, 



Which has been before the American public for nearly four years, has been enlarged, and its 

 mechanical and literary standard so raised, that, as the ''Chicago Inter-Ocean" says, "it is really a. 

 first-class periodical at $2.00 a year."

 Circuit Rider," and "The Hoosier School-

As the "Boston Daily Advertiser" says, "There is room for a periodical which, furnished at 

 the low price of $2.00 a year, is yet first-class in character, tone, literary contents and execution ; 

 and well would it be," continues "The Advertiser," "were all the homes where the larger magazines 

 do not go, supplied with reading as good in tone and style as that in AMERICAN HOMKS." 



OUR PREMIUM. 



We have published a magnificent oil chromo, " Life's Voyage," which for beauty and as a 

 work of art will challenge competition. It is in size 14 1-2 by 22 1-2 inches, and will be mounted, 

 sized, varnished, and finished in first-class style ; and as we are determined to offer such induce- 

 ments to the people that they will subscribe for the AMERICAN HOMES in preference to any other 

 magazine or paper published, we have concluded to give this chromo framed in a polished black 

 walnut and gilt frame, with a year's subscription to the magazine, for only #3.25.
