OUR OFFER FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS OTHER THAN YOUR OWN. If, in addition to sending your own subscrip- tion to Tue ILLustraTED Homer Guest for one year, for which you will receive a dollars worth of books free, you will also get ene of your friends or neighbors to subscribe, we will give you an addi- tional dollar's worth of books for so doing. In other words, if you will send us 70 cents for your own subscription and one other, we will give you any twenty books in our list, or two dollars’ worth. If you will send us $1.05 for your own sub- scription and two others, we will give you any thirty books in our list, or three dollars’ worth, and soon forany number. We will give you @ dollar's worth of books for every subscriber you send us at 35 cents. Fornine subscribers you can secure ninety of the ninety-eight books in the list. Ifyou have spare time at your disposal you can make our offer a source of great profitto yourself by securing the books in this way and then selling them, for they sell very readily at their regular retail price, ten cents each, and you can therefore make one dollar clear profit on every subscription you secure. But you must remember that when we give you a dollar's worth of books for getting us a subscriber we do not also give the subscriber a dollar’s worth of books. The sub- scriber receives the paper only for one year; you receive the dollars worth of books. When you send your own subscription at 35 cents you receive year. When you send some oné else’s subscription you also receive a dollar's worth of books, but ‘the person whose subscription you send receives only the paper for one year. Therefore when you ask others to subscribe you must not promise or make any mention of the books, but show and get subscriptions for the paper only. Each sub- scription, to entitle you to a dollar’s worth of books, must be at the full price, 35 cents and not at the club price, 25 cents. If you wish you can take subscriptions at 25 cents, and make up the difference of ten cents on each out of your own pocket, and this you can well afford to do, as you,get a dollar's worth of books free for every subscriber you send us. But we think you will have no difficulty in getting a number of sub- seribers at 35 cents each, for the paper is well worth it, and people everywhere are glad to sub- scribe when shown a copy and asked to doso, and certainly never before was such liberal pay offered for getting subscribers to any publication. But whether you secure other subscribers or our offer and send AT LEAST YOUR OWN SUBSCRIPTION. It is no ordinary offer that we make you. In- deed, it is an offer the liberality of which was never before equalled. For thirty-five cents we will send you our splendid paper, THE ILLUSTRATED Home Guest, for one year, andin addition we will also send you, absolutely free and post-paid, @ dol- lar’s worth of books, namely, any ten that you may select from those enumerated and described upon the folowing pages.
