TERMS. . . Three Dollars a Year, Twenty five Cents a Copy. Three Dollars and a Half to Foreign Subscribers. Checks on Local Banks in U. S. Will be Accepted at Par. Bank Notes May Quite Safely be Remitted When Placed Between Paste-Board or Heavy Paper. Magazines are not sent after the expiration of subscriptions.
WE have added two sets of very handsome and very interesting books to those from which premiums may be selected by subscribers to The International, and the revised list with these additions will be found on advertising pages IV and V, at the beginning of this number.
The fall is the time for taking subscriptions, and this fall ought to be a particularly good one for this purpose, as we are at last really to have a return of business prosperity. Many families during the last two or three years have discontinued their subscriptions to various periodicals, and with the return of good times will be ready to consider the claims of The International. Each one of our readers must know some such cases, and if they will furnish us with the names and addresses of such we will take great pleasure in furnishing sample copies free.
Any young people who would like to get up clubs of subscribers to this magazine can earn very useful and valuable premiums for themselves by so doing. For instance, for a club of twenty-five subscribers, we will give the promoter the best grade of bicycle—what is known as a $100 wheel—and each one of the twenty-five subscribers will have the privilege of selecting 83 worth of books. It surely ought to be easy to make up clubs on such terms. We also offer promoters such premiums as tuition in vocal or instrumental music, etc., etc. Write us what you would like to work for.
That the International Register is appreciated as a most practical and commendable invention is made apparent by the many references to it which are now appearing from time to time in the leading newspapers of our largest cities.
The stream of foreign bound travel, as shown by the International Register, begins about April 1st, and gradually increases week by week, until in June it reaches its high water mark for the year. It then falls off very suddenly, and by the end of August it may be said that outward bound steamers are carrying few other than regular travellers. But, fortunately for the steamship lines, just at the time when the outward bound stream stops, the return stream sets in strongly. In this way, from the opening of the touring season till its close, each one of the great passenger ships is sure of a heavy passenger list at least one way on a round trip.
