flourishing. In fact.....sales have increased since the inter net came into our lives.<br />
Not just in the doctors waiting area, magazines<br />
are in our homes to stay. What ever your pleasure...<br />
there is a mag to your liking.<br />
From Time-to Fishing-to Cooking-to People-or to what<br />
ever you find interesting & informative or<br />
entertaining.... there is humble magazine, <br />
just for you.<br />
In 1879 congress created second class mail. Before that....<br />
The American Post Office delivered magazines for only <br />
very short distances, at a very high cost.<br />
Until the 1880's....only the upper class read magazines.<br />
With a three roll fed rotary printing press<br />
and less cost to ship the product, the magazine price <br />
war began.<br />
In 1883 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Sidney_McClure">S.S.McClure</a> dropped the price of his magazine to<br />
$.15 <br />
His reader ship shot up, and he was phenomenally <br />
successful.<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Munsey">Frank Munsey</a> lowered his magazine to 10 cents! The thin dime got<br />
thinner and soft cover books called magazines <br />
were gobbled up by the masses.<br />
Other publishers followed suit and soon the second class American's<br />
had more to read than just newsprint and tabloids, <br />
thanks to the second class mail.<br />
