An outstanding early issue of SUCCESS Magazine for collectors of Orison Swett Marden, J. C. Leyendecker, Golden Age illustration, American publishing history, and turn-of-the-century magazines.
Condition: Please review all photographs carefully for condition and completeness. The magazine remains complete and displays very well for its age. It shows typical age-related wear, including light edge wear, minor creasing, and gentle handling wear. The front cover has faint pencil writing/doodles in the left-center area, visible in the photographs, but the colorful Leyendecker artwork retains excellent overall eye appeal. Interior pages are clean and attractive.
