Notes

IF at all possible, please order your magazines through, and arrange for territory with, your tract society. If you must order direct, send cash with order.
OUR Life and Health agent, 73 years of age, Mrs. Gilman Phillips, of Portland, Maine, who sold 1,000 copies of the September number, has just sent in her order for the last 200 copies of her 1,000 order of the October number. Think of it,—73 years old, and selling 1,000 copies of Life and Health each month!
CHILDREN as well as old people successfully handle Life and Health, and many of them are working with it. “Enclosed find fifty cents, for which please send ten copies of Life and Health. I am a little girl six years old. I sold a number of Life and Health in Montreal. Had some regular subscribers there. My mama is writing this letter for me. Please send as soon as possible, and oblige your little agent, Eleanor May Hanna.”
W. B. DIMON, a student in South Lancaster Academy, writes: “I have sold about one hundred ninety dollars’ worth of your books this summer, and about three hundred copies of Life and Health, fifty of Liberty, and a few copies of the Protestant Magazine. I have enjoyed my work with these periodicals very much. Am now back in South Lancaster Academy at my studies. I had the best success with the magazines in the business portions of the cities, but perhaps I did not know how to interest people in other portions of the towns and cities.”
SHOWING what can be done by recanvassing the same territory, we quote from a letter just received concerning the sale of Life and Health. “I work so few hours a week that my record is not anything at all unusual. I think I sell, on an average, 30 copies an hour, but of course this is in regular territory. I have been canvassing the same ground over each month since a year ago in July. I like the work very much, and the hours I spend at it are very pleasant ones. I was out this week, and worked two small towns near here, and two of us sold 300 papers in two days. Only worked seven hours at it.”
