The big December issue is crammed with tales written by the foremost boys’ authors in the country, and splendidly illustrated by famous artists. Dig up a couple of dimes right now and let your boy go to the nearest news-stand for a copy of this won- derful December issue. - He'll revel in its stories of mystery and adven- ture; he'll thrill with its Christmas tales; chuckle and roar over its amusing yarns packed with wholesome laughs. Everything in this big Decem- ber issue is just what your boy likes best.

AERICANBoy *The Biggest, Brightest, Best Magezine for Boys in All the Werld® gives your son more than good reading and good fun., It gives him the companionship of the fine men and boys that people its stories. It takes him through adventures in commerce and industry and public service—“Boys Who Used Their Brains,” in the December issue, is a splendid example. It puts life and interest into history—you’ll see it yourself in “Inland Treasure” and “Privateers of ’76”; it initiates him into the secrets of nature, as in “Trailing a Broken-tooth Beaver,” by the great naturalist, the late Enos A. Mills—another feature of this December issue. It guides his activities in giving him worth-while “dos” that combine inge- nuity, perseverance and fun; for instance, “Build an Ice-Boat and Scoot!” explained with photos and diagrams.
