Where the June “Life and Health” Went

The following list shows the circulation, by States and countries, of the June number of Life and Health. The figures inside the parentheses indicate the number of copies of the May edition circulated in the States named. The circulation for April will be found on page 2 (third column) of the REVIEW for June 10, 1909.

In these lists are included the regular subscribers and the number of copies sold by agents, in each State. It should also be remembered that often a company of agents from one State sells thousands of copies in a neighboring State. Again, the records of several of the States were cut down materially by the absence of their best agents who attended the General Conference. Note Indiana, for instance, which circulated the second highest number of the May number.

Which States will lead in the circulation of the July number? Orders for over 10,000 copies of this beautiful number were received before June 17. And this is hardly a beginning.

(1) California, 6,136 copies (5,247); (2) Illinois, 4,345 (2,498); (3) Pennsylvania, 3,952 (676); (4) Massachusetts, 3,274 (1,117); (5) New York, 3,073 (1,144); (6) Nebraska, 3,032 (925); (7) Washington, 2,902 (1,118); (8) Maryland, 2,574 (2,171); (9) Georgia, 2,404 (3,889); (10) Ohio, 1,996 (464); (11) Michigan, 1,952 (775); (12) Tennessee, 1,855 (1,349); (13) Iowa, 1,702 (1,677); (14) Wisconsin, 1,659 (377); (15) Texas, 1,619 (213); (16) New Jersey, 1,548 (125); (17) District of Columbia, 1,405 (285); (18) Idaho, 1,371 (264); (19) Kentucky, 1,021 (571); (20) Oregon, 942 (558); (21) Colorado, 938 (254); (22) Canada, 887 (535); (23) Virginia, 883 (96); (24) Minnesota, 867 (703); (25) Missouri, 830 (160); (26) Oklahoma, 737 (866); (27) West Virginia, 690 (67); (28) Indiana, 687 (4,437); (29) Maine, 635 (328); (30) Louisiana, 515 (305); (31) Vermont, 414 (36); (32) Connecticut, 411 (81); (33) Kansas, 398 (479); (34) North Dakota, 392 (152); (35) Arkansas, 168 (78); (36) New Hampshire, 152 (129); (37) North Carolina, 151 (25); (38) New Mexico, 143 (16); (39) Arizona, 142 (11); (40) Mississippi, 127 (27); (41) South Dakota, 104 (45); (42) Delaware, 102 (2); (43) Alabama, 92 (172); (44) Montana, 66 (57); (45) Florida, 61 (73); (46) Nevada, 57 (63); (47) South Carolina, 51 (6); (48) Utah, 50 (58); (49) Wyoming, 48 (8); (50) Hawaiian Territory, 13 (—); (51) Rhode Island, 10 (210); (52) Panama, 6; (53) Mexico, 5; (54) Cuba, 5.

It is encouraging, indeed, to note that the June circulation shows a substantial gain in forty-one of the States, nine only showing any loss. These forty-one States circulated 59,467 copies of the June number, as compared with 35,218 copies of the May issue, a gain of 24,249 copies, or an average gain of 591 copies for each State. The entire May edition (40,000 copies) was exhausted May 6. The June edition (60,000 copies) was sold by June 6.
