McCyiure’s MAGAZINE enters upon its fifth year with a circulation of 300,000 copies a mo 
It shrinks from no expense to secure the best in literature and art. As an diuaeeaaines 2a the | 
editorial policy, it may be stated that it frequently pays as high as one thousand dollars for an article or 
a story, and that between thirty and forty articles and stories costing one thousand dollars each have 
been engaged and will be published within two years in the magazine. We believe that an equal claim 
could be made by no other periodical in the world. 
In order to be foremost in the field of art, the AEE have organized oy most complete art : 
department possessed by any magazine. This is under the leadership of Mr. A. F. Jaccaci, who not | 
only draws upon the foremost artists of the world, na has a staff of engravers and specialists under his 
immediate personal supervision, so that from the moment a picture is drawn until it is printed, specialists 
have charge of every step. It is of particular importance to us that we own and operate our own print- 
ing plant; not only have we the best and newest presses, but we absolutely control every part of the 
work and processes in the pressroom, and skilled bem secir of the art department, assisted by first-
