<p>oh, you know what Mel? I suddenly had a light-bulb moment. Your comment here is quite consistent with the trend well established in the 60s-90's where the November issues always had a tendency to have something extra, special, or "first", and the Nov's were always/usually thicker during this era than the rest of a calendar-member year. </p>
<p>Somewhere I saw it said that this was very intentional, as Nov (along w/ July) was renewal time, and they always wanted to re-impress members…</p>

<p>Somewhere I saw it said that this was very intentional, as Nov (along w/ July) was renewal time, and they always wanted to re-impress members at ... decision time. This was during the time when you received the whole year's back-issues all at once, if you were joining in mid-year for instance.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Of course, none of this was applicable after the newsstand availability commenced, though, I notice certain Nov. issues throughout the latter 2000's and 2010's are thicker than the other 11, esp. June-Sept's, which have gotten quite thin and "bony" this past several years...</p>

<p>Scott,</p>
<p>Russ Faryniak asked if this was the first instance of color being used in the <em>Nat Geo</em>. Apparently he deleted his question leaving Mel's and my responses orphaned.</p>

<p>Russ,</p>
<p>As Mel has said, colorization, while not the norm, was in use for several years before 1915. Another two examples are the March and October 1914 issues that have a few color (or colorized) photographs among the many black and white ones.</p>

<p>Russ,</p>
<p>Check out November 1910.</p>
<p>The November issue was a favorite for colorization, i.e. 1911, 1912, etc.</p>
