NOTES FROM THE SUBSCRIPTION DEPARTMENT.
By Editor
Fifty thousand copies of the Thanksgiving SIGNS have already been sent out. Orders continue to come, and our press is running nights to enable us to fill orders promptly. A good increase in the regular subscription list has been seen during the last three weeks: Week ending Nov. 7 shows an increase of 565
Week ending Nov. 14 shows an additional increase of . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 564
Week ending Nov. 21 shows an additional increase of . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,054
Total increase in three weeks . . . . . . . 2,183 This is the result of united efforts being put forth in behalf of the circulation of our pioneer missionary paper. Some new club orders have been entered. A number of clubs have been increased in number. Besides many are taking hold nobly in securing regular readers for the paper. The following is an example of how “opportunities” are being improved: “Having received a copy of the SIGNS booklet, I improved the opportunity to take a few new subscriptions for the SIGNS, also two renewals. Enclosed find P. O. Order for $9.00, also list of names and addresses.” Words of appreciation are constantly coming: "We gladly receive and read the good old SIGNS OF THE TIMES, and also receive much benefit and encouragement from its pages. We want to help it with our mite. Please find enclosed $2.00 P. O. Order for same." The influence of our Earthquake Special number can never be known. Letters such as the following come almost daily: "I found a part of your paper, the SIGNS OF THE TIMES—'Our Earthquake Special.' If you have any of that date, I would be glad to have one. If not, send me a sample copy. I am interested in these things." Another letter shows the interest awakened by one SIGNS OF THE TIMES leaflet: "A SIGNS OF THE TIMES leaflet has been given me on which I see the SIGNS OF THE TIMES advertised. I am interested in the Third Angel's Message, and have no papers or literature thereabout. Please send me a copy, or as many copies as you can, to distribute among my neighbors, and state terms of subscription."
