People came from near and far to gaze at it and then go back home and tell the natives about it. The statue was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. '"pODAY a magazine, Cosmopoli tan, is a giant in the land. If you were to pile up the October edition of Cosmopolitan (1,164,000 copies) one copy on another you would have a shaft of magazines extending more than four miles in the air. Beside it the Colossus of Rhodes would look like a tooth-pick. It costs almost three million dollars a year to produce the twelve num bers of Cosmopolitan that you can buy for twenty-five cents each. Every month the public pays more for the privilege of reading Cosmo politan than it pays for the single edition of any other general magazine. Unlike the great giant of antiquity, this modern giant goes out to the people instead of their coming to it. In 24,000 cities, towns and hamlets, across the length and breadth of the land, more than a million people watch and wait for the day Cosmo politan is placed on sale. The ancient Colossus attracted mul titudes because of its size and be cause it represented Hilo, the Sun God, a pppular Diety of the day. Cosmopolitan attracts millions be cause it publishes the best work of the greatest writers and the greatest artists in all the world in the best magazine that it is possible to pro- duce. This great magazine is, indeed, a giant in the land a giant in size, in excellence and in influence. Right near you there is a place where October Cosmopolitan is for sale. Get your copy quickly because this month's supply will soon be exhausted. tjHk hVZAJB 5 ton trucks would be required to carry October Cosmopolitan Vfl nil lr tmmsk It ' IH it' IB I 04" I 1 ill nPt i 11 Jl1 for the October edition of Cosmopolitan I o 5. .f. vV. -r5 . 1 j Si -Ml ft 1 The Colossus of Rhodes, from a rare old print i ' i The 100,000 words in Cosmopolitan'8 editorial section would make a good-sized book i October Cosmopolitan would make a shaft forty time as high as the Washington Monument fiJPfCTM&t ifftjr?lk M- yem9wSBSBemmmmmmmm s A) Artists in October Cosmopolitan Harriton FUher Jame Montgomery Flagg W, T.
