Packages of Tracts.

By D. M. Carlton

The Review Office has just put up in packages four different assortments of our tracts. The smallest package, costing at retail 25 cents, contains 224 pages, in fourteen tracts, as follows:—
  1. Present Truth.
  2. Who Changed the Sabbath?
  3. Lost Time.
  4. Scripture References.
  5. Infidel Cavils.
  6. Old Moral Code.
  7. Seven Reasons.
  8. Rich Man and Lazarus.
  9. Is Man Immortal?
  10. Which Day, and Why?
  11. Is the End Near?
  12. Can We Know?
  13. The Sleep of the Dead.
  14. The Sinner’s Fate.
It will be seen that these tracts cover, in brief, the leading points of our faith.
The second package, costing 50 cents, contains 448 pages, in twenty-six tracts. In addition to the above fourteen, it has the following twelve tracts:—

  8. Departing.
  9. Elihu.
  10. Brief Thoughts.

The third package, costing 75 cents, contains 672 pages, in thirty-five tracts. In addition to all in the last package it has the following nine tracts:—
  1. Second Advent.

The fourth package, costing $1.00, contains 900 pages, in forty-five tracts, being the ten following in addition to the thirty-five in the last package:—
  1. Two Thrones.
  2. Rejected Ordinance.
  3. Redemption.
  4. First Message of Revelation 14.
  5. Second Message of Revelation 14.
  6. Third Message of Revelation 14.
  7. The End of the Wicked.
  8. Sabbaton.
  9. The Judgment.
  10. Perfection of Ten Commandments.
The above package embraces the most of our tracts, covering about all the points of our faith.
The object of putting them up in packages is that they may be more convenient for sale, or for selection by those who do not know just what they do need. In a course of lectures, such packages go off readily. Indeed, we always sell more this way than any other. First offer the 25-cent package for a few evenings. Then advertise the second package for a while. Finally, state that you have them all in a $1.00 package. Properly managed, a large number of tracts can be sold in this way.
Often persons wish an assortment of our tracts worth from 25 cents to $1.00, but leave the Office to select. Here we have them nicely put up, ready to send.
Each of the above packages has a printed list on the outside, of the tracts which it contains. They will be sent, post-paid, for the prices named above; or by freight or express, in quantities, at the regular discount on tracts. All the tent companies should have a supply. Of course the smallest package will be called for the most, but the larger ones will be needed more or less. D. M. CARLTON.
