This issue of The Frontier features four authors presenting stories in the Western and adventure pulp genres. The cover advertises "Thrilling Stories of Six-gun Days—Cowboy Days & Pirate Days," with fiction contributions from Don McGrew, J. E. Grinstead, Robert V. Carr, and Anthony M. Rud. While the OCR transcription of the story texts themselves is too corrupted to reliably convey specific plot details, the magazine's advertising and promotional material indicates it is marketed toward male readers interested in action narratives. The publication, issued monthly, costs $3.00 per year and is distributed from Garden City, New York by Doubleday Page & Co. The journal's back matter contains extensive classified employment advertising and product promotions typical of 1920s popular magazines.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
