THE WORK AND THE WORKERS

By Editor

We can still start a few more Protestant subscriptions with the July or “Rome and Mexico” number.

Half-leather bound volumes of Life and Health, gilt stamp on back, for the years 1909 to 1913, only $1.75 each.

Mr. C. Houston Gondiss, editor of the Forecast Magazine, issued in behalf of “pure food,” writes: “I am deeply interested in your publication Life and Health, and have been reading it with great interest.”

A Mississippi friend writes: “The June Protestant Magazine received. After reading this number I showed it to several, and as a result am sending you $3.00 herewith for 5 subscriptions, as per order blank inclosed.”

Mrs. C. E. Halliday, of California, has just sent in a rush order for 1,000 copies of the current issue of Liberty, to be sold at Long Beach and other points. Her sales have averaged from 1,000 to 3,000 copies per month.

A friend of ex-Gov. Wm. Sulzer, of New York, has just ordered the last 100 copies of the June Protestant Magazine we had on hand. Only 60 copies are left now. So please do not ask us to begin your subscriptions with the June number.

Referring to the July Protestant Magazine, Elder G. F. Watson, president of the Southwestern Union Conference, says: “Some way it strikes me as being one of the best issues ever published. This number should arouse the American people, and it would if placed in the hands of the reading public.”

A business man connected with the Cadillac Motor Car Company, of Detroit, has just sent us his check for $5.00 for 125 copies of the February or “Protestant Mass Meeting” number of the Protestant Magazine, containing Rev. R. H. McKim’s great speech, “Why We Are Protestants.” A few copies left, at 20 for $1.00, or 50 for $2.00.

The special “subscription receipt books” for those taking subscriptions for Life and Health, Liberty, and the Protestant Magazine, contain a double guaranty to protect our authorized solicitors—one from the tract society secretary and the other from the publishers. They may be obtained free of charge, but ONLY FROM YOUR TRACT SOCIETY.

The circulation manager offers this brief “Suggestive General Canvass,” guaranteed to sell any number of Life and Health: “Good morning. I have brought you the [name month] number of Life and Health, the National Health Magazine, published in Washington, D. C. The most popular health and temperance magazine published. It will tell you HOW TO KEEP WELL, HOW TO GET WELL, HOW TO TREAT COMMON DISEASES AT HOME WITHOUT DRUGS, and HOW TO SLEEP, COOK, EAT, AND DRESS FOR HEALTH. It is read by some 200,000 persons each month. The price is only 10 cents a copy. This article [naming, and pointing to page] and that one are worth many times the price of this one number. Yes, ten cents. Thank you. May I bring you the next number? No, it is not sold at the news stands. All right [smilingly]. Good morning.”
