An extremely rare occurrence for the publishers of a magazine is to find
themselves embarrassed by the obligation imposed by the degree and
quality of prosperity that has attended AINSLEE'S during the past year.
Such prosperity brings with it an obligation in a very real sense, for
it means that in what has actually been accomplished in the past, there
is implied a promise to the public and to the literary world, of a
continued development toward what is best and most wholesome in fiction,
poetry and essays. Here are some of the more familiar names:
JACK LONDON, EDGAR SALTUS,
E. F. BENSON, CHAS. BATTELL LOOMIS,
JUSTUS MILES FORMAN, BARONESS VON HUTTEN,
JOHN D. BARRY, JOSEPHINE DIXON,
J. J. BELL, BLISS CARMAN,
GERTRUDE ATHERTON, ARTHUR STRINGER,
E. NESBIT, FRANK D. SHERMAN,
HAROLD MACGRATH, ELLA WHEELER WILCOX,
RICHARD LE GALLIENNE, ARTHUR KETCHUM,
O. HENRY, EDMUND VANCE COOKE,
POULTNEY BIGELOW, S. E. KISER,
ELIZABETH DUER, JOHN VANCE CHENEY,
GUY WETMORE CARRYL, JOHN B. TABB,
JOSEPH C. LINCOLN, CLINTON SCOLLARD,
MRS. BURTON HARRISON, And Others.
It will thus be seen that in 1904 there will be plenty of quality to go
along with the greatest quantity of reading matter to be found in any
other magazine published at any price.
During the coming year special attention will be paid to the cover
designs of AINSLEE'S. Such well-known artists as =Henry Hutt=, =Edward
Penfield=, =A. B. Wenzell=, =Thomas Mitchell Pierce=, =Harrison Fisher=,
and others, will contribute to help the magazine to a pleasing and
appropriate outside appearance. Don't fail to read AINSLEE'S. You may
safely recommend it to your friends as well.
