One Million Copies

By C. H. Jones

THE announcement that we made a short time ago that a special edition of The Signs of the Times on the subject of Capital and Labor was soon to be issued seems to have touched a responsive chord in the hearts of our people everywhere. Most encouraging letters have been received from conference presidents and others, indorsing the plan and promising hearty co-operation.

One million copies seems to be the smallest number named to be circulated, and Nebraska comes first with a definite order for fifteen thousand copies. This order was given when the brethren thought that the paper was to retail at ten cents. Now that it is to be sold at five cents a copy, we trust they will double the order. Elder A. T. Robinson, the president of the conference, has sent a stirring letter to all the churches, calling them to action, and others are taking hold of the work vigorously.

In view of this, we have placed an order for paper for one million copies, and we confidently expect they will be called for. The only question in our minds is, Will this be enough? In view of the importance of the question on which this special number treats, and the intense agitation of the subject in all parts of the world, we ought to dispose of two million copies or more.

This special number is to contain twenty-four pages, including cover, and will be beautifully illustrated.

The retail price is 5 cents a copy.

5 to 24 copies to one address, 4 cents.

25 or more copies to one address, 3 cents.

No doubt there are many who would like to have the paper sent directly from the office of publication to friends. For the benefit of such the following offer is made:—

Single copies will be mailed directly from the office of publication to lists of names furnished, at the following rates:—

1 to 24 copies, 5 cents per copy

25 to 99 copies, 4 cents per copy

100 or more copies 3½ cents per copy

This price includes wrapping, addressing, and postage.

The publishers have decided to donate one half of the profits on this special number to the Foreign Mission Board, to carry the gospel to the regions beyond.

Papers will be ready to mail not later than November 12. Orders should be sent in at once.

Address your State tract society, or Signs of the Times, Oakland, Cal.
