Interest in the War Extra

BROTHER D. W. REAVIS, circulating manager of the periodical department of the Review and Herald, hands us the following encouraging report regarding the circulation of the War Extra of the REVIEW. This report shows the readiness of our people to step into every providential opening for giving the people the truth for these last days:—
“On August 13 the REVIEW made announcement of the publication of a War Extra. Before this announcement reached all parts of the United States, our people near the publishing house, who received early copies of the REVIEW carrying the announcement of the Extra, began to send in their orders for the Extra. By August 18,orders were reaching us from near-by places. On August 26, in only eight days, 685,000 Extras had been ordered, and the mails are now bringing in orders for an average of 50,000 copies a day.
“Never before in the history of this denomination has any of our publishing houses received during one week’s time so many orders for any paper published. Even the Ingathering issues of the Signs and the REVIEW never had so many copies ordered in so short a time.
“Indications are favorable for the interest to continue in the circulation of this Extra. Another week’s work will doubtless swell the number to a million copies.”
