I Will Send You 



McClure's Magazine 



All Winter— as a Free Test 



That's right— 3 months— as a test— FREE. 



What is McClure's ? 



I want you to know it— that's why I'm mak- 

 ing this offer— the most Hberal ever made by a 

 publication too valuable to be given away. 

 You don't know a man's character by what an- 

 other says of him— and you can not know 

 McClure's by any thing I can tell you. 



Just read McClure's 3 months— at my risk 

 —let your wife read it— let the children read 

 it and I know you will agree you can not 

 afford to be without it. If you don't say so 

 at the end of 3 months— just drop a postal 

 telling me to discontinue, and telling me why 

 you don't like it. 



If you do like it, and want to receive it 

 every month— just send me $1.00 (only) for 

 the full year's subscription, after you have 

 tried it three months. Then, McClure's is 

 yours— with all its instructive articles, and 

 bright, entertaining stories. 



"The Railroads on Trial," by Ray Stan- 

 nard Baker, is the latest of McClure's great 

 dealings with vital affairs of the day which 

 concern the nation and its citizens. These 

 articles by Mr. Baker are of importance to 

 every land-owner, every producer, shipper, 

 and manufacturer; they deal with the charges 

 which have been and which are being made 

 against the railroads by the people, these 

 questions of rates and rebates we have heard 

 so much about. 



Writers for McClure's are men and women of inter- 

 national fame. A few past contributors are: Theodore 

 Rosevelt, ex-president Cleveland. Mark Twain, Gladstone, 

 Huxley, Rudyard Kipling, Tyndall, General Miles, Arch 

 Deacon Farrar, Robert Louis Stevenson, Booth Tarking- 

 ton, Nansen (the gi-eat Arctic Explorer), A. Conan Doyle, 

 Walt Whitman. Bret Harte, and others equally well 

 known. This next year you will read Jack London, Myra 

 Kelly, Booth Tarkington, William Allen White, and many 

 others equally famous and entertaining. 



McClure's gives a truthful glimpse of the real— the 

 greater world through the eyes of great mpn and women. 



McClure's entertains while it educates. It is a lit- 

 erary feast of good things.
