Also there weren’t so many alternatives back then for getting articles and ads out. So the release schedule probably made sense and it was possible to make some profit off magazines. (Not that much though I think.)

These days the dynamics have changed a lot. Today many ads an articles would be outdated if they were written many months before being published.
