Wood's Household Magazine.— Two years ago New- 
burgh crave birth to her sixth publication by S. S. Wood. 16 
was first Issued OS a prospectus of a general book agency 
business, and has since been twice re-Christened— flrst to 
*' Wood's Household Advocate," then to " Wood's House- 
hold Magazine)" its present title. The first number was in 
a small eight-page form ;it ten cents a year. It has since 
been enlarged four times, with subscription prices twenty- 
five cents, fifty cents, seventy-five cents, and one dollar. 
AVe learn that the hack numbers arc all soon to be repub- 
lished in the present Magazine form. The success of Mr. 
Wood's enterprise is one of (lie marvels of periodical liter- 
ature in these United States. From comparatively nothing 
it has grown to he one of the most extensive and important 
concerns of the kind in the country. The circulation of the 
IIovsetiold Magazine is. we believe, exceeded but by one 
monthly in the country— Harper's. It is largely taken in 
every one of the thirty-six States, in all the Territories, in 
Mexico, Canada, Europe, etc., etc. 
We attribute Mr. Wood's success largely to his attractive 
and novel way of getting before the people. The following 
card from the July number of his Magazine will illus- 
trate: 
"A Partner Wanted either with on Witiiovt Cap- 
ital.— The business includes publishing and printing offices, 
and 'WOOD'S HOUSEHOLD MAGAZINE ' (formerly Ad- 
vocate), which has an edition ofover one hundred thousand 
copies, and is the largest and best dollar monthly in the 
world! Ko individual of the male persuasion need apply, 
ns I am a bachelor. For full particulars address S. S. 
WOOD, P. O. Building, Newhurgh, X. V. Post-masters 
and News-dealers throughout the United States are fur- 
nished with Specimen Copies." 
Now to the best of our knowledge and belief, the lady 
who secures tins partnership will be very fortunate indeed. 
We are personally acquainted with Mr. WOOD, and know 
him lo be an industrious and strictly temperate young man, 
etc. "Go iu!" glrte.—Jfetolwrgh Daily Journal.
