Description: 1918 Antique Magazine THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN Illustrated Cover Art October 5 1918 Fabulous antique Country Gentleman paper magazine. The cover art is of a beautiful young woman bundled up in a fur coat and cap, with rosy winter-cold cheeks and a beautiful gaze. It is actually a photograph, taken by William Sheweil Ellis, as noted in the lower right hand corner of the cover art. Inside, is a wealth of advertisements and stories. Advertisements like:The Wallis TractorWestclox Alarm ClocksCraig TractorsMoline Plow CompanyWinchester Guns and AmmunitionAlamo ElectricityPurina Pig Chow, andMichelin Tires, to name a few.Articles include:Potatoes at Five Cents an OunceFirst Aid to the CattlemenAll-American FertilizerWhy Farmers Make Money at a LossHow Much Will a Hen Eat? and,Growing Fags for SoldiersThere is also a "story" - the first in the series, titled "The Quest of the Snows". If you're missing the opening of this series - it's here in this issue. This is completely irresistible - thumbing through these pages unlocks the America of over 100 years ago - so fresh and bright and full of anticipation for the future! As for condition - the covers are pretty beat up, though still intact. There are rips and tears on both the front and back, and someone unfortunately, put clear tape down the spine. Otherwise, the interior is in pretty good shape. It weighs five ounces before packaging and shipping, and will come to you in a large bubble wrap mailer, between two cardboard pieces, shipped via USPS Media Mail. Thanks for the looky-loo!
