International Magazine No. 03 [circa 1910]. "The Island Of Lost Men," Part 3 (of 3). About The International Magazine: The International Magazine (subtitled "The International Tales Of Mystery") wasn't actually a magazine but was a promotional tool distributed by the International Tailoring Co. of New York and Chicago (the "International" in the title refers to the company). Three "issues" were published, containing a mixture of stories, jokes, cartoons, puzzles, etc. The name of one of the International Tailoring Co.'s retailers was preprinted on the back cover of each issue and they were then shipped to the retailer, who would mail them out to their customers. No dates or any other form of identification appears in the "issues" but they are believed to date from the early 1910s, from the style of clothing in the advertisements on the back covers and the type of airplanes depicted in the cover art of the third "issue." The main feature in each "issue" was an installment of a three-part serial by an anonymous author in which Agent John Merrill from the "Government Detective Service" is sent out from Washington, D.C. to solve a series of mysterious murders on a remote island off the Virginia coast.
