Periodical Sales in Finland

By A. J. S. B.

We are just in receipt of an interesting letter from Brother Naarlo Soisalo, of our publishing house in Helsingfors, Finland, containing the following report of the sale of our Finnish paper, Aikain Vartija, during the first six months of 1910:—

	COPIES PRINTED	COPIES SOLD	VALUE
January .....	2500	1966	$58.98
February .....	1500	1234	37.02
March .......	1500	1380	41.40

This periodical sells for three cents a copy, and the subscription price is fifty cents a year. Speaking of the methods used in selling the papers, Brother Soisalo says:—

“We do not sell our periodicals on the streets, but they are sold in the cities through our agents, who do house-to-house work. We hope next time to give some interesting experiences of our workers. God has blessed our work here in Finland. We have many true book agents who have also labored.”

If there are Finnish people living in your neighborhood, to whom you would like to impart a knowledge of the third angel’s message, you may secure copies of our Finnish paper, Aikain Vartija, also our Finnish tracts, by addressing the New York branch of the Review and Herald Publishing Association, 32 Union Square, East, New York, or by addressing the publishers, as follows: Aikain Vartija, Unionsgatan 4, Helsingfors, Finland.
