Notes:

Cover title.

"'The Black Cat' is devoted exclusively to original, unusual, fascinating stories - every number is complete in itself. It publishes no serials, translations, borrowings, or stealings. It pays nothing for the name or reputation of a writer, but the highest price on record for 'Stories that are Stories,' and it pays not according to length, but according to strength."--Page 1.

"5 cents a copy. 50 cents a year"--Page 1.

Preliminary pages (i-iv) and closing pages (vi-xviii) feature advertisements.

Pages 43-46 contain information about the Black Cat Story Tournament.
