| BATTLE, DOROTHY AND OTHERS, CONTRIBUTORS. GOOD STORIES MAGAZINE, September 1938. Augusta, Maine: Vickery and Hill Publishing Company, 1938. First appearance in print of these works. GOOD STORIES was one of several magazines published in Augusta, Maine, which was for over 70 years (from 1869 to 1942) the center of the mail order publishing industry. These magazines - with low annual subscription rates of only 25c - were produced primarily as a way of advertising to rural and small town women. The owners of the three major publishing companies, E. C. Allen, P.O Vickery, John F. Hill (who was also a Governor of Maine), and William H. Gannett, all became very wealthy men. This issue dates from the later years when the mail order advertising industry was beginning to decline, due to changes in the postal regulations, the remoteness of Augusta, the increasing prevalence of the automobile, and so is much less common than the earlier issues (at one point circulation of these magazines as a group reached 3 million). While the ostensible feature of each issue was the storie and tips on home-making, these publications are probably now of most interest to social historians, both for the advertisements and for the insights into women's lives at the time. A significant amount of space was devoted to the reader's chat section, and these letters from readers are probably the most interesting - although usually determinedly upbeat, both the hardships and loneliness of American housewives shines through these letters with their tips on home-making and appeals for penpals. The international news column is a snapshot of events around the world on the eve of the 2nd world war: Jewish physicians losing their right to practice medicine in Germany and Austria, Mussolini declaring Italians 'Aryans' etc. Among the advertisements in this issue are those for premiums for subscriptions to the magazine, needlework patterns and a 'modern woman's remedy when troubled by delay.' Large format, measuring 13 by 9 inches, newsprint paper, stapled. The cover includes a full page illustration by H. I. Dyer for one of the stories in the issues (in black and white with red touches and a red frame); other black and white illustrations, all signed by the artists, in the interior. 16 pp. Very good condition overall, with the expected fraility - a small address stamped in the corner of the front cover.

| LEWIS, ARVILLA M. AND OTHERS, CONTRIBUTORS. GOOD STORIES MAGAZINE, February 1938. Augusta, Maine: Vickery and Hill Publishing Company, 1938. First appearance in print of these works.

While the ostensible feature of each issue was the storie and tips on home-making, these publications are probably now of most interest to social historians, both for the advertisements and for the insights into women's lives at the time. A significant amount of space was devoted to the reader's chat section, and these letters from readers are probably the most interesting - although usually determinedly upbeat, both the hardships and loneliness of American housewives shines through these letters with their tips on home-making and appeals for penpals. As an example, one letter from a reader talks about the death of her 10 year old son and how keeping busy is the best way to forget your troubles, while another, after extolling the beauty of the parks in her small town on the Wabash River in Indiana adds the information that 'There are no colored people in our town. We realize that colored people are God's people as well as the white folks are but we believe that God never intended the two races to mix in marriage and they usually do if they live in the same place. So our town has ruled that no colored people may live here.' and follows that extraordinary paragraph with sewing and pie-making hints. The international news column is a snapshot of atrocities around the world on the eve of the 2nd world war: battles in the Spanish Civil War continuing, 12,000 Haitians massacred in the Domenican Republic, a British rearmament project, etc. Among the advertisements in this issue is one for the book Married Love by Marie Stopes, another showing the prizes you can win if you sell seed packets at just 10c each, and a Find the Chinese Twins contest on the rear cover. Large format, measuring 13 by 9 inches, newsprint paper, stapled. The cover includes a full page illustration by H. I. Dyer for one of the stories in the issues (in black and white with red touches and a red frame); other black and white illustrations, all signed by the artists, in the interior. 20 pp. Good condition, with the expected fraility - a small address stamped in the corner of the front cover, there are some edgetears, including one at the lower staple.
