W. A. Cosgrave
The Magazine Man
Ten years in the magazine and newspaper subscription business gives a man a pretty good idea of the best manner to get a rate on combinations, especially if he be a live, progressive man, as is W. A. Cosgrave, who is familiarly known all over Ohio as “The Magazine Man”. Starting into business as a general agent for newspapers and magazines, by persistent effort and practical methods, Mr. Cosgrave has built up a large clientele in all sections of the United States, and especially among Y. M. C. A.’s and colleges, where subscriptions are placed exclusively on the combination plan. This is by placing the order for as many different magazines and newspapers as desired with one agent. A magazine club formerly meant getting together a number of people to subscribe for one magazineto be furnished in one order at a greatly reduced price. To illustrate, McClures, Review of Reviews and Woman’s Home Companion, if subscribed for separately cost $5.50 for a year. Through the Cosgrave Agency you get these three for $3.00. This same plan applies to all the leading magazines and newspapers, and each can go to a separate address if desired.
Most subscription agencies force a combination which includes something not wanted. The Cosgrave Agency will quote a special price on any combination selected.
W. A. Cosgrave is one of McConnelsville’s best citizens, a careful, conscientious business man, whom the Herald takes pleasure in recommending to the magazine readers who may well add another periodical to their list at the same price they are now paying by placing the subscription with the Cosgrave agency.
