The News of the Month 



The Fall Issues of Country Life in America for November ist and November 15th represent one of the 

 most delightful seasons of the whole year, and all readers of the GARDEN MAGAZINE are advised to get and read these 

 numbers. 25c. at the news-stands. $4.00 a year. 



Late Deliveries of the Magazines. The Post Office Department is trying out a new plan of handling 

 magazines by fast freight instead of fast mail trains. It may be that the delivery of your magazine will be a little 

 delayed. We are mailing as early as possible, and hope that there will be no appreciable delay. 



Mrs. Humphry Ward's New Novel is issued October 26th. We think it the best she has ever written, and 

 many critics have so expressed themselves. The title of the new book is "The Case of Richard Meynell." 



The World's Work and the New Binding. You don't have to hold the book open by main force. It is 

 not wired together by a staple, but lies open in the hand like a well bound book. It is a vastly interesting magazine made 

 for live people who do things. 



The Children's Library of Work and Play is our great fall success. It has taken several years to prepare 

 this set, and it has been welcomed by the best authorities because it develops the hand as well as the brain of young 

 people — a wonderful and entertaining working out of the manual training principle. A full description on request. Ask 

 for the Library of Work and Play pamphlet. It is in itself very interesting. 



The New Magazine Subscription Bureau. Since we moved to Garden City we have opened a depart- 

 ment for the handling of subscriptions for all magazines, in club with or without our own publications. This is for the 

 convenience of our 200,000 customers, so that a reader can send the order for all his magazines to us and they will be filled 

 at the lowest prices obtainable anywhere and transferred to the other publishers within twenty-four hours after receipt. 

 We have issued a catalogue for your convenience; a postal will bring it. 



The Country Life Press is open to visitors. 



over the building and grounds. 



You will be made welcome and a guide provided to show you 



An Aeroplane Mail. During the week of September 25-October 1, we sent mail via aeroplane from the Avia- 

 tion Field of the Garden City Estates. This is the first air route ever established by the U. S. Post Office and each letter 

 was marked Aeroplane Route Number 1. We try to keep up to time in Garden City.
