“The Youth’s Instructor”

By Editor

ENLARGED and IMPROVED

SPECIAL ISSUE NOW READY

Beginning with January, 1908, the “Instructor” enters upon its fifty-sixth year. In order to increase its usefulness, to make more room for its various departments, to permit the introduction of some new features, and to give it a more popular size, the “Instructor” will be made a sixteen-page weekly. The size of the page will be reduced to eight and one-half by twelve and one-half inches. An engraved first-page cover design will give it a more attractive appearance, and the extra number of pages will increase the contents more than one-fourth. These improvements, and the extra cost of producing the paper, make necessary a slight change in price, the new rate being $1.00 a year. We believe all will admit that the price will still be low, and we are sure that our subscribers will feel more than repaid for the extra cost by the improvements and additional reading which the “Instructor” will contain.

OLD SUBSCRIBERS

Any subscriber now on our list may renew for one year, previous to Jan. 1, 1908, at the present price, 75 cents a year.

CLUB RATES FOR 1908

Yearly clubs of five or more copies to one name and address will be supplied at 65 cents each.

SPECIAL OFFER

For four annual subscriptions, one of which may be the sender’s, we will mail free a copy of that beautiful book, “My Garden Neighbors.” It is an illustrated volume of 256 pages, and contains true and really thrilling stories of many interesting experiences the author had with various birds and animals in the vicinity of his home. It also shows how to learn the names of the more common American birds, and how to study their habits, etc. Every boy and girl will prize such a book, and it will teach them to be kind to birds and animals. The regular price is $1.00. Or, we will send “My Garden Neighbors” and the “Instructor” one year to any new subscriber for $1.50. In either case the book and paper may be sent to different persons if desired.
