If the boys of ten or fifteen years ago could have secured such thoroughly good adventure stories, of such great length, at five cents per copy, the =Brave and Bold Weekly=, had it been published then, would have had ten times its present large circulation. You see, in those days, stories of the quality of those now published in the =Brave and Bold Weekly= were bound in cloth covers or else published little by little in boys’ serial papers, under which circumstances each story was paid for at the rate of one dollar or more.
