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.

As Real as a Rail Spike Here's a book about the West that's different. It's a colorful story of the colorful lives of the "construction stiffs," the big-hearted, happy-go-lucky workers who build the railroads in the great Southwest. And it's the story too of a breezy, sun-colored girl named Nancy, and of fighting and adventure. It's the sort of a book that you can take home to-night and read every page with the feeling that its author knows what he is talking about. Don't miss Tumblebug Ranch By EMART KINSBURN Mr. Kinsburn is one of the writers who are making full-blooded men and women haunt the stores for the appearance of the next book to bear the famous brand "CH." If you like "Tumblebug Ranch" (and you will) you will like all the popular copyright "CH" books published by Chelsea House and selling at the low price of seventy-five cents.
