AMERICAN BOY MAGAZINE
COMPANION TO THOUSANDS
Hundreds of thousands of boys
and young men read The American
Boy magazine every month and con
sider it more as a living companion
than as a magazine.
"It’s as much a buddy to me as my
neighborhood chum,” writes one
high school senior. “The American
Boy seems to understand a boy’s
problems and considers them in such
a sympathetic and helpful way. It
gives advice and entertaining read
ing on every subject in which a
young fellow is interested. It is
particularly helpful in sports. I
made our school basketball team be
cause of playing tips I read in The
American Boy.”
Many famous athletes in all sports
credit much of their success to help
ful suggestions received from sports
articles carried in The American Boy
magazine. Virtually every issue of
fers advice from a famous coach or
player. Football, basketball, track,
tennis, in fact every major sport is
covered in fiction and fact articles.
Teachers, librarians, parents and
leaders of boys clubs also recommend
The American Boy enthusiastically.
They have foun d that as a general
rule regular readers of The American
Boy advance more rapidly and de
velop more worthwhile characteris
tics than do boys who do not read It.
Trained writers and artists, fam
ous coaches and athletes, explorers,
scientists and men successful In bus
iness and industry Join with an ex
perienced staff to produce in The
American Boy, the sort of reading
matter boys like best.
The American Boy sells on most
newsstands at 15c a copy. Subscrip
tion prices are $1.50 for one year or
$3.00 for three years. Foreign rates
50c a year extra. To subscribe sim
ply send your name, address and re
