New Subscribers.

By John Norton Loughborough

As stated in the report of our State quarterly meeting, in another column, it was decided that a special and united effort should now be made to secure subscribers to the SIGNS. The directors decided to take back numbers of the SIGNS, at cost, to circulate with other reading matter. Each copy of the SIGNS is equivalent to several tracts. Many will read the SIGNS who would not read a tract.

We shall prepare, immediately, a supplement to be inserted in the copies of the SIGNS, calling attention to the paper, and soliciting subscriptions. Let each director decide immediately how many copies of the SIGNS they can use judiciously in this manner, and make their orders for the same through their district secretaries. All orders of this kind should be made to the president, J. N. Loughborough, Oakland, Alameda county, Cal.

Since publishing No. 12, the reports on new subscribers, obtained in the different districts, stand as follows: Paid subscribers, District No. 1, none; No. 2, eight; No. 3, four; No. 4, none; No. 5, one; No. 6, none; No. 7, three; No. 8, four; No. 9, six; total, twenty-six. Trial subscribers, No. 1, none; No. 2, two; No. 3, eleven; No. 4, two; No. 5, one; No. 6, none; No. 7, one; No. 8, one; No. 9, four; total, twenty-two. If each member makes an effort to secure one or more paid or trial subscribers, this report may be much larger another issue. Try it. J. N. L.
