The Sale of Periodicals

MANY workers who have sold ten-cent magazines, even though they work only part time, have averaged twenty-five copies an hour, which gives them a net profit of $1.50 an hour for the time worked.

The best record made on the July number of Life and Health was by one canvasser who sold three thousand copies in three weeks, which gave him a net income of seventy dollars a week.

During the past few weeks, the workers in San Francisco and Oakland have sold fifty thousand copies of our ten-cent magazines.

At the Oakland (Cal.) camp-meeting, held recently, nearly three thousand copies of Liberty were sold in one day.

The Pacific Press Publishing Company will soon send out the first numbers of the new Signs of the Times Monthly, which is to be issued with favorable discounts, especially for the use of agents. This addition to our ten-cent magazines will be welcomed by the canvassers for periodicals, and will fill a definite place, which means much to them in the success of their work. We will then have the Signs of the Times Monthly, Life and Health, and Liberty for the fine army of agents which is recruiting so rapidly in the United States.
