Three-fourths of Your Christmas Shopping Done in Five Minutes TO-DAY!
Why not, this year, dispense with all last minute shopping and give yourself the luxury of a leisurely unharassed (and unharassing) merry Christmas, incidentally giving your friends what they will like above all things.
We are not making extravagant claims for Harpers Magazine as the perfect universal Christmas gift. Several on your list, frankly, won't be interested in it.
Ingeborg, the new laundress will doubtless get more real comfort out of a serviceable blouse; the baby is a little young for some of the articles — especially Rebecca West; and Fido would only worry it and make a mess. BUT, the great majority will find more to amuse and enliven them in 12 monthly visits of Harpers than in any other gift you could present.
Your father will find food for thought in the unconventional, clear sighted discussions on American life by Duncan Aikman, Charles Merz, Bertrand Russell. Aunt Valerie, that lady of dazzling clothes and sparkling conversation, confesses that like all of the smart people she knows, she is finding the new Harpers indispensable for the sophisticated, enquiring mind.
For Kenneth, one of the younger intellectuals, it is the obvious choice. Likewise, for Honoria. These two follow, with lively comment, the stories of Christopher Morley, Aldous Huxley, Van Loon, and the poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay.
Moreover, there are countless features which are absorbing to all; Dr. Fosdick's monthly department, "Religion and life," the finest fiction from America and England, points of view from and about Europe, and brilliant biography and history.
Fill in the coupon below, return it to us, and the major part of your Christmas gifts are purchased and wrapped — to be delivered with a gay Christmas card at the proper time. Moreover, for every gift subscription over one, we will give a holiday price of $3.00 — instead of the regular yearly rate of $4.00.

The New Harpers Magazine is Established!
From the moment its vivid cover first appeared, the new Harpers has been phenomenally successful. As the first number — September — disappeared with gratifying rapidity from the newsstands, hundreds of letters, spontaneous and enthusiastic, flooded the editorial offices.
Then the October number appeared — and the November, more than fulfilling the bright promise of September, and the letters began to say, "You've done it! You're getting out numbers each one better than the last."
Meanwhile the newsstands sales and new subscriptions continue to mount. And in all circles where educated Americans gather, where talk is spirited and fearless, Harpers Magazine is once more acclaimed as the leading magazine of American thought.
