The July “Life and Health” Now Ready for Delivery

By Editor

“THE best seller of the season,” was the comment of an experienced agent when he had examined the July issue. To see it is to believe it.

Over 65,000 copies of the June number were ordered before June 10. We are printing 60,000 copies as the first edition of the July number. We predict a very large sale for this beautiful number. An artistic boating scene, photographed from life, appears on the front cover-page. This cover design is the most beautiful one that has ever adorned this our national magazine of health. Its appearance alone will help to sell thousands of copies.

Scores of new agents are entering the field with Life and Health. Two ladies (beginners) who have just gone to Boston, are selling large quantities of this magazine. Others are at work in Chicago, Washington, San Francisco,—in nearly all the great cities,—and report good success in their work.

You Can Sell the July Number

You can do all that beginners can do, and perhaps more. Send five cents for sample copy, or, better, twenty-five cents for five. If you are new in this work, ask for leaflet, “How to Sell Our Magazines.” If interested in earning a scholarship, ask for leaflet, “How to Earn a Scholarship.” Don’t try to tell your customers all there is in the magazine. Read carefully the sales points outlined in the leaflet first mentioned. Read the magazine itself, picking out those strong features that appeal to you most. When you are filled with information, start out with a good number of magazines, and, in simple, straightforward language, tell your customers what you have, and how much good it has done you. Strike out and begin to work. Adopt “Learning by doing” as your motto. What if you do make some failures? The man who never does anything is the only man who never makes mistakes. Sell this number on the merits of its appearance, and on the value of three or four articles. Many will buy it for just one article, even as you and I buy magazines at the news stands.

Address Your Tract Society

If at all possible, please order your magazines through, and arrange for territory with, your tract society.

If you must order direct, send cash with order. Try 25 copies for $1.

Same Prices Until Further Notice

Single copies, 10 cents; 5 to 20 copies, 5 cents each; 25 to 400 copies, 4 cents; 500 to 800 copies, 3½ cents; 1,000 or more, 3 cents.
