The Temperance “Instructor” for 1913

BEGAN its annual campaign against the liquor traffic — the great national home crusher — on the twenty-seventh day of January with the first mailing of over 20,000 copies, one week before the date of issue — only part supply for the skirmish-lines. Orders are just beginning to come in for the base supplies.

A band of Instructor Temperance Volunteers made a short, initial effort with the new issue in Washington, D. C., and promptly pronounced it an easy seller. One member sold 23 copies in a short time. Another member, at another time, working alone, sold 16 papers in about an hour.

There is an unusual demand for sample copies coming from various temperance organizations. A minister in Pennsylvania wired for sample copies of the new number. A number of State secretaries of the W. C. T. U. are asking for samples, also for methods of circulation. We quote the following from one of these:—

“I should like to know full particulars about getting large quantities of your Temperance Instructor. The campaign is going on here now, and our time is short. So it is very essential that we get the Temperance Instructor as soon as possible. How soon can we get it?”

One of our tract society secretaries upon receiving a sample copy immediately sent back the message, “It is a beauty.”

Everything bids fair for a good, prosperous year with the Temperance Instructor. Now is the time to send in orders and to begin work while the number is fresh and the spring temperance campaigns are on.

Prices

The usual prices will prevail; namely, 5 to 40 copies, one order, one address, 5 cents a copy; 50 or more copies, 4 cents a copy. Send all orders to the conference tract societies.
