This August 1914 issue of The Argosy includes a full-length novel, "Nobody Knows Saw Pose" by J. Earl Clauson; a complete novelette, "As Simiebing Nemes" by Simeon Russ; and nine short stories by various authors including Max Rittenberg ("The Porta of Weed"), W. Robert Foran ("The Kesper of the Pass"), and E. Allen Phillips ("Auto Intoneathon"). Genre affiliations remain unclear due to OCR noise obscuring story titles and plot details. The issue also advertises Zane Grey's Western novel "The Last of the Duanes," forthcoming in September. The remainder of the publication consists of period advertisements for consumer goods, employment opportunities, and patent services.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
