# Fifteen Western Tales Cover (January issue, 25 cents) This is the cover of a pulp magazine featuring an action-packed Western illustration. The main story advertised is "Draw Fast or Die!" by Bryce Walton, depicted in the artwork showing a gunfight scene. A cowboy in a hat and pink shirt draws his revolver while another armed man appears on horseback in the distance, with a railroad and buildings visible in the background. A figure on a telegraph pole is also shown. The cover promises 15 stories for the 25-cent price, typical of early pulp magazine marketing aimed at readers seeking quick Western adventure narratives.
