FOUR GREAT SPECIAL NUMBERS 



SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, and DECEMBER. 1908 



A second great enlargement and improvement. With the June issue The 

 Guide to Nature commenced its second era (of three months) with so many improvements 

 as to surprise delightfully every patron. Beginning with the September number there is 

 another decided advance, and the numbers for September, October, November, and Decem- 

 ber will eclipse all previous efforts in value and interest to readers. 



There is to be a new and beautiful cover, and many other mechanical improvements. 

 We have in hand and there are promised a large number of interesting articles and expressive 

 photographs. Several new features which we are not yet free to announce are in prepara- 

 tion. The September number will surprise and delight. 



It has taken a few months to ''find ourselves." But we can tolerate the delay in the 

 satisfaction that we are doing the "finding." It takes a little time to get under full head- 

 way. By the September issue we shall have had that time. 



The magazine just as it is in June, July, and August is of higher grade than any other 

 nature magazine ever published. It fits the present increasing interest. We have full con- 

 fidence that those who know the magazine agree with that statement. 



Neither the Prospectus nor any form of announcement can fully portray the merits of 

 the magazine. We ask a fair trial and your hearty co-operation. Let the magazine speak 

 for itself, and let us have the benefit of your suggestion and criticisms. 



Single copy — 15c. One year — $1.50. Less than one year at single-copy rates, with 

 the exception that, to new subscribers only, is offered a four months' trial for 50c.
