Scene: An animated crowd of Christmas shoppers at a juvenile book stand in one of San Francisco's large department stores. A tired looking young lady clerk, scarcely out of her teens, is behind the counter.
Attracted by a highly colored book, yellow predominating, one of the prospective customers asked, “Is this a good book for children?” Selling books was the girl’s business. You can guess her reply. That book consisted entirely of hunting, killing, and other such stories. Candidly now, does the reading of such books inspire kind thoughts, good impulses, high ideals?
OUR LITTLE FRIEND is an illustrated weekly paper. Every line of its eight pages is interesting, instructive, helpful. Its Bible lessons and moral stories, accounts of noble men and women and their good deeds, thrilling experiences of missionaries, stories of birds and animals, all combine to make this paper one of the very best to place in the hands of your children.
It will cost you but one cent, the price of a postal card, to secure a sample copy of the double holiday number with beautiful colored cover. The yearly subscription price is 60 cents—less than one and one tenth cents a week.
Order through your State tract society; or OUR LITTLE FRIEND, Mountain View, Cal.
