  1,500,000 Readers! SUBJECT GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY M. J. Woulfe St. Paul, Minn. Sept 29th, 1922. Editor Whiz-Bang, Dear Sir: On September 27th our train #12 was held at Robbinsdale 37 minutes loading what is stated to have been 36,000 lbs. of mail. In order that provision be made to handle such large quantities of mail without causing unreasonable delay to trains, would you kindly furnish the following information: First, Frequency of publication of the magazine. Second, Days or dates when regularly due to be placed in the mail. Third, Approximate weight or number of copies of each issue. With this information we will consider the making of some special arrangement for bringing to the cities. It might be advantageous to set a baggage car out at Robbinsdale the day before the magazine due to be forwarded. Yours truly M. J. Woulfe The letter tells the story! If our Winter Annuals had been loaded at one time Captain Billy would have filled an entire mail train. Hereafter, Gentle Reader, your news dealer will have the Whiz Bang on the 15th of the month, and because of our enormous orders, we will, in future, mail a few truck loads every day throughout the full month, all magazines to be held at the various postoffices until the 15th for delivery. In conclusion, I thank you for your indulgence at delays in getting your Whiz Bang and your Winter Annual. The old Whiz Bang Farm has been a busy spot these past few months. Yours for fun, CAPTAIN BILLY. Title page image Captain Billy’s America’s Magazine of DECEMBER, 1921 Vol. III.
