With so tremendous a sale at $1.50, what ought the sale to be at only 15 cents?

CONVENTION | with a full book-length novel published complete each issue, has hit |# anew high place in magazine making. I have been studying fora dozen or fifteen years to find a way to give the public brand-new, high-grade books at a price not to exceed 25 cents a copy. I have just now solved the problem through publishing them in my magazine—not serial publication, but as complete as if actually in book form. And in The Munsey they are printed on fine book paper, from large, clear type, and are profusely illustrated. The Munsey is jam full of good stuff. Its — novel covers only one side of it. The other side is tich in illustrations, worth-while articles, short fiction and other material—a magazine practically double the size of the average magazine.
