FOR THE AMERICAN BOY
With the announcement of an en-
larged and enlivened magazine, THE

tion for boys ten to twenty, also an-
nounces a reduction in its subscrip-
tion and single copy prices. Hereaft-
THE AMERICAN BOY will sell
for 10c. a single copy at newsstands
or for $1.00 a year and $2.00 for three
years on a subscription basis.
In announcing a change in editori-
al policy, publishers of THE AMER-
ICAN BOY assure subscribers that
the established fiction heroes who
have made the magazine so popular
with young and old alike, will con-
tinue to tell of their adventures ex-
clusively in THE AMERICAN BOY.
Included in this group are Renfrew
of the Canadian Mounted, Connie
Morgan and Old Man Mattie, pros-
pector’s; Square Jaw Davis, railroad
engineer; Johnny Caruthers, flyer;
Jim Tierney, detective; Tod Moran,
seaman; Alan Kane and Ted Dolliver,

eral rule, boys who read THE AMER-

selves display.
