Why did this Early Version of the Watchtower Magazine include Crosses, and what do these other Symbols on the Magazine Represent?
score:8
The Jehovahs Witness teaching of the symbol of the cross was changed about the 1930's by Joseph Rutherford. Prior to this they accepted the cross that is widely accepted in Christendom today. So the magazine would still have a cross on it as it's publication was prior to this time
Facts about Jehovahs Witnesses
As far as the symbolism on the magazine is concerned. I would at a guess say that the top left hand corner is meant to represent Christ being King. And the top right as being the guardian or defender of the Watchtower

The early members of the Bible Students as they were then called did many things in contrast of the Bible. The more they studied the Bible by examining the scriptures they realized they needed to change and stop what they were doing. They even celebrated Christmas, smoked, and the use of the Cross and the Crown as a symbol of faith on the early magazines. As they progressed in the truth of God's word, they openly and publicly explained why they stopped and the scriptures to support their actions. Today JW's have so much more of an understanding of the truth (the true Christians) because over 8 million witnesses are proclaiming that truth in all the inhabited earth. They are only organized religion truly obey the commandments of Jehovah and Jesus. I hope that answers your question.
