MR. ROCKEFELLER’S SECOND ARTICLE 
We believe that there has not been printed 
in many years an article so interesting, as Mr. 
John D. Rockefeller’s second chapter in his 
Reminiscences in the November Number of 
The World’s Work. It tells of some of his early 
friends. Mr. Rockefeller attributes the success 
that he made in early life to the fact that he 
had many stanch friends. He has much to 
say, also, of his recreations, and of forestry, 
of which he has been a practical student for 
thirty years or more. ‘This article is the second 
in the series of Recollections which Mr. Rocke- 
feller is contributing to The Worlds Work. 
MAGAZINE LIBRARY AND COUNTRY LIFE 
IN AMERICA 
THE 
As the season for subscribing to magazines 
is now just beginning, we hope that the readers 
of The Garden Magazine will be interested in a 
plan which we have just completed for a year’s 
reading, covering what we consider to be four 
of the finest magazines in four distinct fields. 
The price has been made possible because the 
four periodicals entered into a partnership for 
securing subscriptions, and so reduced the 
expense proportionately. Here it is: 
Country Life in America -4.00 
The Worlds Work 3.00 
Everybody's Magazine I.50| ALL FOR 
The Delineator I.00 $5.50 
$0.50 
The magazines may be sent to separate 
addresses if desired, but a family who will take 
advantage of this offer will have a plentiful 
supply of good reading for a whole year, cover- 
ing some six thousand pages and several thou- 
sand illustrations of the best sort. 
THE ADVERTISERS’ ALMANAC 
For some months we have been publishing a 
little monthly pamphlet under the above title, 
and sending it to our advertising friends. 
Greatly to our surprise and pleasure, we are 
receiving hundreds of letters of congratulation 
and appreciation, brought out by this pamphlet. 
We have tried to make it valuable and interest- 
ing to everybody who has to do with advertising, 
and should any reader of The Garden Magazine 
connected with or interested in advertising, 
TATE

“To business that we love we rise betime 
And go to’t with delight.”—A xtomy and Cleopatra 
desire it we should be glad to send it with our 
compliments. It will not interest, and is not 
made for anyone who is not engaged or asso- 
ciated with the advertising business. 
COUNTRY LIFE IN AMERICA FOR NOVEMBER 
Perhaps we are not the best judges—and we 
should be more modest, yet we think that 
this magazine is increasingly beautiful, practi- 
Cover for the November number

LOOK AT THE ADVERTISEMENTS 
By Frances 
It is no doubt superfluous to mention it, but 
perhaps our readers do not fully realize that 
in the advertising pages of our magazines, The 
Garden Magazine, Country Lije in America, 
and The World’s Work, one may do all (or 
almost all) one’s Christmas shopping from one’s 
desk. These magazines contain each month 
over a thousand separate announcements, 
including a most interesting array of articles 
—and many of them unique, and the mer- 
chants represented are reliable.
