Those who have made a thorough trial of all branches of the missionary work, find that one of the most efficient means of doing good is to secure subscribers for the Signs and the REVIEW. To each new subscriber the publishers will give for $2.00 the REVIEW for one year, and the beautiful picture, “Way of Life, from Paradise Lost to Paradise Restored.”
Thousands of subscribers have been obtained by means of this premium, notwithstanding the great inconvenience to the canvasser of carrying the picture without any proper protection, sometimes rolled up in a paper, and sometimes folded in a large book. This inconvenience, and the consequent loss of a picture now and then by its being soiled or torn, has greatly discouraged canvassers; and to remedy this evil we have studied to produce a canvasser's roll that would be at the same time cheap, light to carry, convenient to handle, and a perfect protection to the picture.
The roll is hollow and therefore very light. The cord by which it is carried is fastened to the black walnut ends of the roll by swivels, making it easy to open or roll up the picture without any kinking or twisting. The picture is fastened firmly to the roll with an enamel cloth some larger than the picture as a covering and protection.
When open, the enamel cloth covering hangs at the back of the picture as shown in the above cut. It is enough wider and longer than the picture to be a thorough protection when rolled up, as shown below.
When not open for examination it is rolled and held in place by a rubber band as shown in this cut. To open it the canvasser has only to move the elastic band to one end of the roll, and then, holding it by the cord, the weight of the picture will cause it to unroll, the swivels allowing it to turn simply by its weight.
CANVASSERS, TRY THEM.
To be successful you should have a complete outfit consisting of sample copies of the REVIEW, a Receipt Book, a Canvasser's Roll, and Circulars to distribute.
We are anxious to see canvassers at work, and shall furnish the complete outfit, for $1.50, post-paid. Address, REVIEW & HERALD.
