Description:
Began publishing in 1915; mid-level fan magazine on par with Movie Classic and Screenland. Cost a twenty five cents an issue up until pricing pressure from New Movie (c. 1932) incited an across-the-board price decrease to 10 cents. Merged with Charm in 1941, which would later become Glamour magazine (1959). -- Anne Helen Petersen, 2013.

He Bluffed Them All! Big Jim, who had gone away from home with a reputation as a dare-devil gun fighter, couldn't afford to go back with that reputation tarnished. But something had happened to Jim in the meantime that had ruined his skill. What that something was, and how Jim won out in spite of his handicap, is told in fascinating manner in WOODEN GUNS By George Owen Baxter Here is a Western story with the hoofbeats of galloping horses in it and the snarl of revolver shots punctuating its pages. It's as different from the usual Western story as a real cowman is different from the movie imitation. It is big and clean and vital — your kind of a story written to your taste. "Wooden Guns" is published by Chelsea House, one of the oldest and best-established firms in America specializing in clean fiction written by masters of their craft. Ask your dealer for "Wooden Guns" to-day, and at the same time ask him to show you the other Chelsea House publications that should be in your library. $2.00 Published by m house -llBLfflFK 79-89 SEVENTH AVE.^'**' NEW YORK.
