"Town & Country"

William Randolph Hearst bought another. This time not a newspaper. It is Town and Country, an old, old denizen of the publishing field, founded in 1846. Mr. Hearst's own newspapers carried the announcement that "it is understood that the value of the magazine was held at close to $1,000,000," and added naively:

"From its very inception it has been edited for people identified with society and country life activities."

If so, it is not apparent why Mr. Hearst was interested in it.

Mr. Hearst's magazines now include:

Circulation

Cosmopolitan* 1,500,000

Good Housekeeping 1,161,512

Harper's Bazar 85,001

Motor Magazine 46,000

Motor Boating Magazine 30,000

Town and Country Magazine 22,330

*Recently augmented by the amalgamation with it of Hearst's International, which had a circulation of about 439,655.
