On your way home tonight—or before you board that train —or set sail on that voyage —stop at the nearest newsstand, dig up a quarter, and exchange it for the December 20th issue of P(\)pular Magazine. So far as reading goes, there are, we may say, two classes of pecple: those who like stories of swift action and adventure in near and remote corners of the world; and those who don't like such stories, either in familiar surroundings or anywhere else. To those in the first class, Popular Mag- azine will prove a sure bet— for it contains exactly the kind of stories they are looking for. To those in the second class, we still say “Buy Popular Magazine.” For them we predict the astonishing discovery not only that they do like the kind of stories described above—but that they have been missing a wonderful source of relaxation and fun. dered effects, First Floor—Saks Also in December 20th Popular “Tommy Snaps the Handcuffs,” by Roy W.
