MAGNIFICENT

SPECIMENS OF

MANHOOD FROM OTHER LANDS. While most travelers and domestic observers agree that America (particularly the area about Southern California) produces more extraordinary physiques than any place else in the world, other areas are fast catching up and we feel that before long the body we now consider to be better than average will be standard almost everywhere. In countries where it has been a struggle merely to exist, where a few ounces of milk were beyond the means of many families, There was little opportunity to develop the well-fed sleek American physique. But all of this is rapidly changing. The entire world is on the threshold of a peace and prosperity which even the gloomiest prophets of doom will not be able to wish away. Back-breaking labor will soon be done almost exclusively by powerful machinery, leaving human energies free for more pleasant pursuits, and we believe ever-increasing numbers of men and women will turn to physical training to help themselves to realize the most out of life.
