Selling the Temperance Number

By Editor

OVER half of the first edition of fifty-five thousand copies of the Temperance number of the Youth's Instructor were ordered within a week of its appearance. Orders for five hundred to one thousand copies are received almost daily. Thursday of last week we received a telegram ordering two thousand copies. Inasmuch as this issue is so planned that it will sell the entire year, you need not be afraid to order in heavy quantities. One thousand copies will cost you but thirty dollars. In order to get your money back, you need to sell only three hundred copies at the regular price. If you sell the other seven hundred copies, you clear seventy dollars. If you want to give them away, you lose nothing. You would better sell them, however, as free literature is never appreciated as much as that which is purchased.
