VOGU 
Will Raise its Price 
to $5 
The present rate of $4 
holds good until February 15th 
Owing to the tremendous increase in 
the cost of paper, labor and materials, 
Vogue—rather than lower its stand¬ 
ard of production in the slightest degree 
—will raise its price on February 15th, 
from $4 a year to $5. 
Vogue is not an extravagance as 
mere fiction magazines are. It is an 
economy, rather. Its advance fash¬ 
ion information and authoritative 
advice insure you against “clothes 
mistakes” and save you many times 
its subscription price. 
$4 invested in Vogue 
a tiny fraction of your loss on 
a single ill-chosen hat or gown 
will save you $400 
The gown you buy and never wear 
is the really expensive gown. 
Gloves, boots, hats, that miss being 
exactly what you want are the ones 
that cost more than you can afford. 
Consider, then, that for $4 — and 
$4 surely is a tiny fraction of your 
loss on a single ill - chosen hat 
or gown — you may have before 
you throughout the whole year 
this world-wide fashion authority, 
thereby insuring the correctness of 
your gowning and saving you from 
costly mistakes. 
24 Issues for $4 
$4 Now — 
$5 Later 
T o take advan¬ 
tage of this Last 
Chance Offer to se¬ 
cure Vogue at $4 a 
year, your order 
must be in the mail 
by midnight of Feb¬ 
ruary 15th: after 
that date, Vogue 
will cost you $5. 
Don’t bothertosend 
money now, unless 
you wish. Just fill 
in and send in the 
coupon. A bill will 
be sent you in due 
course.

Vogue’s service cannot he compressed into one copy a month—its time¬ 
liness, its speed, and its determination to give the last authentic word 
DEM A ND that it be published semi-monthly. 
A 
Even at the $5 rate. Vogue, giving 24 issues a year, is the least 
costly of the better magazines. While the price of other ..** 
“ class” magazines ranges from $3 to $5 for 12 issues, y** 
you spend for Vogue only $2.50 for 12 issues—$5 for . o^ 
24 copies. But if you take advantage of Vogue’s y' 
Last Chance Offer (a full year at $4) you are -** 
spending at the rate of $2 for 12 issues — 
less than 17 cents a copy.
