Publisher's Blurb:	From back cover of first issue: "Many readers of our ever-popular libraries are so enthusiastic as to wish us to publish the Tip Top twice a week--or every day in the week, so as to give them more of their favorite reading. It will be readily understood that this would be inadvisable for many reasons. Mr. Burt Standish writes the Merriwell stories carefully and well, as you all know. He does not feel that he can afford to jeopardize the quality in the slightest degree by increasing the quantity. We will not permit any other publisher to supply the wants of our readers, as we are the originators of this class of refined, entertaining and instructive literature, which has attained world-wide popularity. It affords us pleasure to say to our friends that we shall soon issue other new libraries, which will be far superior to anything of similar character issued by other publishers, and certainly to be favorites with the readers of the Tip Top Weekly. The first of these new libraries will be known as the DO AND DARE WEEKLY. It will contain 32 pages, with illustrated cover, conforming in size and appearance to the Tip Top. No. 1 will be on sale February 13, 1900, and will be found at all newsdealers. The price will be 5 cents per copy. The Do and Dare Weekly will tell of the exploits and adventures of one PHIL RUSHINGTON, a lively, hustling, bright and brave American boy--a first-class all-round athelete, and a thorough gentleman in all phases of his eventful career. The author of these stories is Mr. Stanley Norris, an able writer, and one thoroughly in sympathy with the wants of our boys and girls in the line of reading. His work is bound to please. The first number is entitled--Phil Rushington; or, The Sophs of Springvale Academy, a rattling, strong story. Read about the eighteen pretty rebels from the neighboring Normal School for girls, who set up a camp on an island and defy the faculty. Read how Phil runs the gauntlet, and turns the tables on his would-be hazes. Read of Phil's 'terrible right.' In fact, read the first number and you will like it. There is no doubt about it. Our other proposed new libraries will be announced and issued as soon as 'Do and Dare' is well introduced."
Major Author(s):	The Phil Rushington stories are written by various Street & Smith staff writers under the pseudonym Stanley Norris.
Notes / Commentary:	The cover of No. 65 contains an announcement of the final issue instead of the usual illustration. No. 65 has the following announcement on the cover: "A Decided Move in the Host of 'Do and Dare'. This is the final issue of DO AND DARE, as hereafter this publication will be combined with our enlarged weekly publication COMRADES". Page 17 contained a moer detailed announcement: "While 'DO AND DARE' is a successful publication the progress of our weekly 'COMRADES' has been much more rapid than that of DO AND DARE, and it is, we believe, capable of running up to a much larger circulation than DO AND DARE could ever reasonably hope to reach, since these publications were somewhat of the same order the rivals of each other. If COMRADES were not the most successful of course we would have combined it with DO AND DARE. Our readers have decided this for themselves in favor of COMRADES. The consolidation of the two publications will at once give COMRADES a largely increased circulation and make it a leader in its class, especially since it will be considerably enlarged in size. Our readers will, therefore, hereafter find the stories of their favorite author Captain Henry Dale, U. S. A., published in COMRADES another of our popular Weeklies, with which it will now be combined. In union there is strength. DO AND DARE and COMRADES make a great combination, as all readers will be prompt to recognize. With two such noted authors as Captain Dale and Robert Steel engaged to contribute to one publication, the result is bound to be more than satisfactory. As a favor to ourselves and a compliment to the editors of COMRADES, we are going to ask you, every reader of DO AND DARE mind yourself if it will not fill, and more than fill, DO AND DARE's place with you. We certainly hope and believe so."
