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.

It Was a Signal of Distress O N a little island off the African coast there flung an American flag, upside down, a signal of distress. Alan Ramsey, young American traveler, insisted on being put ashore with a boatload of supplies despite the desperate protests of the Portuguese skipper on whose ship Ramsey was a passenger. You will be thrilled at the adventures that befell him then when he set foot on "The Island of Pestilence." Read of them in "Fools of Treasure" An Adventure Story by W. E. Schutt This is one of the line of books that are priced at only seventyfive cents, but are offered for the first time in book form. They bear the famous mark "CH" on their jackets. That is the sign of good reading. Look for "CH" books at your dealer's to-day. Published by 75 Cents DttSEA HOUSE HUMS 75 Cents 79-89 SEVENTH AVE/. NEW YORK. CITY
