MCCLURE'S

"Having conceived the idea of investigating and describing from an
unbiased standpoint the dangerous tendencies in American life," says the
_Norfolk Dispatch_, "Mr. McClure enlisted the service of an
editorial staff consisting of Ida M. Tarbell, probably the most talented
woman writer of history that this country has produced; of Ray Stannard
Baker, whose reputation for the clear and popular presentation of
difficult topics of a scientific and abstract nature is world-wide; and
of Lincoln Steffens, a man who stands at the head either of the class of
literary men who possess a nose for news or of newspaper men who have a
turn for literature."

In 1905 all of these well-known writers will continue with McClure's.
Ida M. Tarbell will contribute an extraordinary character sketch of John
D. Rockefeller; Ray Stannard Baker, more of his authoritative labor
articles, and Lincoln Steffens, the political stories of Rhode Island,
Montana, and other states. Samuel Hopkins Adams, a new member of the
staff, will write on Modern Surgery, Tuberculosis, Typhoid Fever, and
Pneumonia.

The _New York World_ says that "the fiction of McClure's is of the
brightness readers expect and always find." In 1905 there will be at
least six stories in every number, by Stewart Edward White, George
Madden Martin, Myra Kelly, Josephine Daskam Bacon, Mary Raymond Shipman
Andrews, Henry Wallace Phillips, O. Henry, Alice Brown, Eugene Wood,
Marion Hill, Alice Hegan Rice, Rex E. Beach, Mary Stewart Cutting, and
others.

Edwin LeFevre, author of the "Wall Street Stories," will soon have a
serial in McClure
