This is a catalog from Top-Notch Magazine, a twice-monthly pulp publication from March 1913 issued by Street & Smith. The issue contains a complete novel, When Titans Drive by Burt L. Standish, about adventures in the timber belt; novelettes including Winged in Walla Walla by Bertram Lebhar (mystery set in Washington) and Under the Taboo by Dennis H. Stovall (warning about a mine). Short stories feature varied subjects: boxing, circus life, trade, tennis rivalry, and railroad themes. Serial novels include Beyond the Law by John D. Emerson (salmon pirates on Puget Sound), Boltwood of Yale by Gilbert Patten (football), and Force Inscrutable by Johnston McCulley (warships menaced by unknown force). The issue also includes a tips section and reader correspondence. Advertisements promote watches, automobiles, correspondence courses, song publishing, taxidermy, and personal products.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
