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.

Farrow, La Fayette, Alabama Mellin's Food-A Milk Modifier The baby takes his food eagerly with apparent relish and retains every feeding. The baby is comfortable and happy between feedings; his day naps are restful and his sleep at night natural in every respect. The baby eliminates waste matter with a regularity and of a character to indicate good digestion. His assimilation is normal for he gains in weight each week, shows evidence of increasing strength and other unmistakable signs of progress in building tissue, muscle and bone. Such a baby is a most delightful member of the household and his splendid condition is due to good parentage, sensible care and food that is exactly adapted to his needs. Mellin's Food and milk will furnish the food he likes as well as the food that will nourish every part of his wonderfully constructed body.
