Appleton magazine

It was published by D. Appleton & Co. beginning in the year 1900. Obviously named for it's publisher this slightly ego-satisfying periodical ran for less than a decade. Issues are understabdably rare. It retailed for 15 cents; that's about $3.00 in todays dollars.

It was Mr. Appletons second atempt at printed gratification via an eponymus logo. His first attempt, "Appleton's Journal" was Printed 1869 – Dec-1881 in the UK. It actually ran as a weekly 3-Apr-1869 – 26-Jun-1876 after which it became a monthly.
