Record Orders for Ten-Cent Magazines

By Editor

Our morning's mail, Sunday, July 25, brought us orders for 9,200 copies of our ten-cent magazines, Life and Health, Liberty, the Protestant Magazine, and the Temperance number of the Youth's Instructor. This breaks all previous records. One order called for 2,000 copies, four orders for 1,000 each, and two orders for 500 each. The next day's mail brought orders for 3,000 copies; and Tuesday's mail called for 4,400 (five orders calling for 4,000 magazines). Sunday, August 1, our mail contained orders for 6,305 magazines, as follows: 4,280 copies of Life and Health, 1,765 copies of Liberty, 235 copies of the Protestant Magazine, and 25 copies of the Temperance number of the Youth's Instructor. Thus orders for 22,905 copies of our ten-cent magazines were received these four days, an average of 5,726 copies a day. Great blessing is certainly attending our periodical agents as they take these silent messengers to the homes of the people.
