THE PHILISTINE

ELBERT HUBBARD, Editor, East Aurora, N. Y. Subscription, One Dollar Per Year

Folks who do not know how to take THE PHILISTINE had better not.-Ali Baba.

If THE PHILISTINE Cost Five Dollars a copy, I would buy every number. Because from its pages I have gotten ideas-or at least have been made to think ideas-that have netted me thousands of dollars, and have bettered my whole life. And from every issue of THE PHILISTINE I get something; what is mine I take, and what is not mine, I do not have to take. A. SCHILLING. San Francisco, Cal., June 16, 1906.

Elbert Hubbard is one of the three greatest writers in the world to-day. He uses as many words as Shakespeare. He has ease, facility, poise, reserve, sympathy, insight, wit, and best of all

sense. He is big enough and great enough to laugh at himself; his enemies he regards as friends who misunderstand him, and his avowed friends cannot turn his head by flattery.-FRANK PUTNAM, Editor National Magazine.
