PREMIUMS

By S. N. Haskell

“THE WAY OF LIFE” is sold to the tract societies at $40 per hundred, when sent as freight or by express, to be used as premiums. If sent in small quantities, or singly by mail, the price is $1.00.
“The Household Manual” is sold in large quantities, at $25 per one hundred when sent as freight or by express. If sent by mail, 75 cents.
The “Child’s Poems” is furnished at $20 per one hundred. This book is designed as a premium to go with THE YOUTH’S INSTRUCTOR. There are also prizes offered to those who canvass for the INSTRUCTOR. Those obtaining ten subscribers will receive a valuable little book entitled, “The Hard Way.” Any one obtaining twenty subscribers will receive two books “The Hard Way” and “The School-boy’s Dinner.” These two books will be furnished to the tract societies in quantities, at 30 cents each.
Those obtaining fifty subscribers for the INSTRUCTOR will receive a map called, “Bird’s-eye View of Palestine.” Those who desire to canvass for prizes should state the fact to those with whom they do their business. When canvassing for prizes, the “Child’s Poems” can be used as a premium. The premium is for the subscriber, the prizes for the canvasser.

PRICES OF PERIODICALS.

In obtaining subscribers for our periodicals, the regular prices should be maintained. The HEALTH REFORMER is $1.00 per year. The REVIEW AND HERALD, $2.00; the INSTRUCTOR, 50 cents. Those canvassing under the direction of the tract societies, and in their interests, can give the premiums with the periodicals at the regular price of the periodicals. The Publishing Association charges the societies, for new subscribers thus obtained, 50 cents for the REFORMER, and 25 cents for the INSTRUCTOR. If the REVIEW is sent at the expense of the tract societies, they are charged $1.50 per year, also the same for the SIGNS.
The Way of Life is best adapted to be used as a premium for THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES, and the Manual as a premium for the REFORMER; but there is no objection to using the Manual with the SIGNS or the REVIEW, and the Way of Life with the REFORMER, if it be desired. When these premiums are used with the SIGNS, the full price for the SIGNS ($2.00) should always be paid.

PRICE OF PREMIUMS.

When the premiums are sold by themselves, not with our periodicals, the prices are as follows: The Manual, 75 cents; Way of Life, $1.00; Child’s Poems, 30 cents. The Association offers these premiums at reduced prices to favor the tract societies in their efforts to increase the circulation of our periodicals. We cannot believe that any of our tract society members will take advantage of these offers to get periodicals themselves, at half price, by changing the address in the family or by selling the premiums under price, thus injuring their sale and not accomplishing the object in view, namely, the increased circulation of our periodicals.
