A complete issue · 196 pages · 1919
This pulp magazine issue contains four serialized stories: "Crosses of Steel" by Rex Parson (chapters I–VI), "Everything but the Truth" by Edgar Franklin (part II), "The Single Track" by Douglas Grant (part III), and an untitled serial by John Frederick (part III). One complete novelette, "The Imbeswebow" by Francis James, is included. Eight short stories appear, including "A Romance in Redemption" by William Dudley Pelley, "Pete's Polite Perhaps" by Charles Wesley Sanders, and "The Race of Little Giants" by Gibbs Huntly. Generic details remain obscured by OCR degradation, though subjects appear to range across adventure, romance, and mystery themes typical of period pulp fiction. The issue also contains substantial advertising sections featuring household furnishings, educational correspondence courses, and employment opportunities.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
