“The St. Nicholas is a monthly magazine or book, for it is more of a book than anything else. It has a low price and a high quality. It contains continued stories and many others. It has prize contests every month. Verses and pictures for smaller children. I like the St. Nicholas because it has good reading and plenty of it. There is enough to last from one month to the next unless you read day and night, which a person feels like doing. The St. Nicholas contains things to work for. It has the St. Nicholas League and it gives badges to every member. Boys and girls all over the United States take St. Nicholas. It is a good Christmas gift. I got it for Christmas.

More stories, more articles, more pictures, more rhymes
More delightful competitions in prose, verse, drawing, and photography
