In this way you secure your own home paper and an illustrated
magazine at a price that is only about a fourth of what some of the
illustrated magazines sell for. For three years The Cosmopolitan has
undisputed! claimed that it reached ihe largest clientele possessed by
any periodical, daily, weekly or monthly, in the world. It was The
Cosmopolitan which sent Julian Hawthorne to India to let the world
know the real horrors of famine and plague. It was The Cosmopol
itan which established at its own cost a great Free Correspondence
University which now has over 20,000 students on its rolls. It was
The Cosmopolitan which offered a prize of $3,000 for the best horse
less carriage and prizes for best plans for public baths, and best arrange
ment of sewer and pipe systems for cities. It was The Cosmopolitan
which 'et the presidents of great schools and universities seriously
discussing v the defects of existing educational systems. It is The
Cosmopolitan whose enterprise is always in the lead in advancing the
world's civilization.
