Top-Notch Magazine, June 1, 1926
June 1, 1926 Issue — Content Description This advertising-heavy pulp magazine issue primarily contains promotional materials rather than fiction. The front matter consists entirely of advertisements: Cooke Engineering School promotes its home correspondence course in electrical work, offering training for jobs paying $70–$200 weekly, with testimonials from graduates earning $400–$500 monthly. Additional ads include "The Book of Etiquette" by Laura Alston Brown, Topkis Brothers underwear, and several book reviews from Chelsea House publishers. The reviews discuss adventure and mystery titles: "The Cruise of the Colleen Baum" by Frank Carruthers (a sea adventure featuring a man shanghaied aboard a schooner), "Wanda of the White Sage" by Roy Ulrich (romance and adventure), "Mr. Chang of Scotland Yard" by A. E. Apple (detective fiction), "Back of Beyond" by Ethel and James Dorrance (Yukon crime mystery), and "The Wagon Boss" by Emart Kinsburn (Western fiction). Further advertisements promote Aladdin mail-order homes and Coyne electrical school. No traditional story content appears in the provided OCR material.
