It could hold its head proudly with other journalistic peaks of the period as Century, McClures, Harper's, Hearst's, Cosmopolitan, Scribners, Life, The American, Vanity Fair, and others. This issue has all of the things listed in blue above, along with regular departments such as Topics of The Day, Foreign comment, Science and Invention, War Time problems, Letters and Art, Religion and Social Service, Reviews, and some of the greatest ads of the time – page after page after page of full pagers meant to appeal to the higher clientele who subscribed!
