MAGAZINE.
New York: V. 53 no. 1;
June 20, 1919
Pictorial wrappers;
6 7/8 x 9 1/4

This magazine was purchased

at the 2001 Pulpcon in
Dayton, Ohio for one dollar.
In twenty five years no other
Rockwell collector has seen
another. How this particular
issue has eluded Rockwell
scholars or why it is so rare,
despite being a relatively
common pulp title, is unclear.
Perhaps the circulation of this issue was low or most of the copies
were destroyed. Regardless, it must be considered one of the
scarcest of all of the over 500 magazine covers illustrated by
Norman Rockwell. Not in Moffatt.

There are no institutional holdings of this 8 page illustrated

monthly, which evolved into McCall's. In fact, all of the major
references are unclear and innacurate as to the initial date of
publication, size or even the exact title. This is likely the only
copy known and clarifies the questions of this magazine's
origin.The title McCall's unfortunately died recently after
canging its name to Rosie, which then folded due to editorial
dispute.
