Four unnumbered pages near the end of the (unpaginated) advertising section, headed “To the Readers of the Puritan,” comprise an editorial in which Frank A. Munsey explains why he is “consolidating” THE PURITAN with THE JUNIOR MUNSEY as of the April issue. He claims The Puritan makes a good profit and has “an edition” of 155,000 (compared though to 660,000 for MUNSEY"S) but does not get enough advertising to continue, because of prejudice on the part of most advertisers on appearing in multiple magazines from a single publisher. Also, it is “a class publication” intended for women, and Munsey does not like such limitations. Now he will have just THE ARGOSY for adults and JUNIOR MUNSEY “for all the people.” (These pages appear in the ad section in the online site, but apparently were an insert in the middle of the issue in the original, per the cover.)
