1Your Best Vacation
3YOUR happiest holiday is also the easiest, the cheapest and the most frequent. To drop the routine of everyday life, visit new places, meet new people: that is the vacation idea. And this so-excellent idea is best carried out—most readily, most often, at the least expense—through your favorite magazine.
5In the pages which follow, for example, you may go to a real old-fashioned Wild West town with C. E. Pladwell in "The Lost Frontier," may visit France with H. Bedford-Jones in "The Cibourne Trail," may voyage to South Africa with Stephen Hopkins Orcutt in "Nerve"—may take nearly a score of fine vacation trips. And they will in no sense be mere tame tourist travels, either, but voyages of discovery, replete with excitement, with novelty and colorful experience.
7And next month likewise you may travel far, wide and handsomely in these pages. In "The Fighting Love," Rosita Forbes will take you to Tripoli and the Sahara—to a great adventure and a colorful romance that you will not soon forget. And Clarence Herbert New will take you to Europe and the company of distinguished folk in his "Free Lances in Diplomacy;" and Stephen Hopkins Orcutt will offer you a fascinating cruise to the Orient in his "Tales of the Merchant Marine."
9Again H. Bedford-Jones will personally conduct you to France along with his amazing detective Clancy; once more C. E. Pladwell will take you to ride the range of the real West in "The Lost Frontier." Lemuel De Bra will escort you to darkest Chinatown and reveal its fascinating mysteries in the first of a new series, "Gar Sing Makes a Profit." Homer King Gordon will carry you off on a thrilling airplane flight in "Landlocked Wings."
11And there'll be many another delightful vacation offered you, by writers who well know their country and their people and their story-telling art—in the North Woods, in the Rockies, at sea, in the Arctic and where-not. For The Blue Book Magazine has long been noted for its stories of out-door life, and in this coming August issue there will be an especially notable collection of them.
13Five of our readers, moreover, will tell for the rest of the family the stories of their most remarkable real experiences—and they will be really remarkable stories; too.
15Vacation time? It comes every month for Blue Book Magazine readers.
