News from Our Eastern Branch

By I. A. FORD

We quote the following from a personal letter received from Brother J. D. Snider, the manager of our New York Branch office, which will be of interest to the readers of the REVIEW:—

“In ten days’ time, Miss Ruth Wilcox has sent us orders for more than fifteen hundred copies of ‘Armageddon.’ Miss Wilcox has sold these books in northern New England, where, until this year, our colporteurs have rather feared to go; and what is even more remarkable, she sold many of them at the rate of forty an hour. This only goes to show how willing the public are to buy these little books when once they are brought to their notice. Wherever our people have gone out with the World’s Crisis Library Prospectus and the Home Circle Library Prospectus, the reports have been very encouraging. These little books sell as well as ever.”

In another paragraph Brother Snider states that Miss Wilcox earned a scholarship in two weeks selling “Armageddon.” Such reports as this are very interesting, and should encourage many to engage in the sale of these rapid-selling books.
