For Conference Between the Magazine and its Readers.
Let us be mutually helpful. In this, the initial number of Bob Taylor’s Magazine, one of the dominant thoughts in our minds is that of friendly reciprocity. You would not have subscribed to this periodical, we take it, were you not friendly to it and to its editor.
We wish not merely to amuse you, but to help you; and we wish you to help us, that, through us, you may help your own people, your own state and section and the whole country. To this end we invite, for the use of this department, communications on all subjects of unusual interest and importance, such as:
Prose and poetry of sentiment, fact and fancy.
Forgotten or unpublished bits of history and tradition.
Anecdotes of famous men and women, and of quaint and curious occurrences.
The best short stories and tales you have heard or read, if unusual or unfamiliar.
Suggestions for the special benefit of Bob Taylor’s Magazine, how it may be improved, what it should contain, what it should omit.
Write us these things that all may profit by something of transcendent interest to each.
Also ask questions of interest and importance on any subject. If we can answer them, we will do so; and if we can’t answer them, we will invite our readers to do so.
