"Whiz Bang is on sale at all leading hotels, news stands, 25 cents single copies; on trains 30 cents..."





Why was that, do you suppose?

I think the idea of highter prices on trains may have been a way to give some profit to hawkers who sold magazines and snacks to passengers. I suspect these vendors had to pay cover price to buy copies of Whiz Bang for resale. Note: this is a theory.
