A Good Week’s Magazine Record

By A. J. S. B.

The manager of the Southern Publishing Association, Brother R. Hook, Jr., writes:— “We have just received a letter from one of our Watchman agents that will be of interest to you. Saturday evening, after the Sabbath, he sold 90 copies of the Watchman; Sunday, August 7, 210 copies; Monday, 225; Tuesday, 260; Wednesday, 225; Thursday, 200; Friday, 200. This made his total sales for the week 1,410 magazines. A card received later from this same brother, says: ‘I made a new record to-day with the Watchman. Sold 330 copies. My best day’s record before was 325 Signs Monthly, sold in Charleston, S. C., last winter.’”

It will be remembered that Miss N. Rosella Smith, a student of Union College, sold one thousand copies of Life and Health in Lincoln, Neb., during the first week in September, 1909. There are, doubtless, many other faithful agents who will be able to report records almost as high as this. We shall be glad to receive reports from these workers, that they may prove of encouragement to others to whom we pass the word along.

These efforts show that success is due not simply to the qualities of the magazines sold, but chiefly to consecrated hustle, a full day’s work, and the consciousness of being an instrument in God’s hands of quickly imparting his saving truth to the people.
