Sa ikalawang isyu ng magazine na ito (August 26, 1908) unang lumabas ang caricature ni "Juan de La Cruz," na sinasabing sumasagisag sa katauhan ng isang Filipino.  Madaling naubos ang puhunan ni McCulloch-Dick na 8,000 piso, subalit bago nabangkarote ang Philippine Free Press, kinuha niya si Theo S. Rogers na maging business managers.  Ang babasahing ito ay naging isang popular political magazine sa Pilipinas matapos ang World War II.
