Aa Unparalleled oner for New Subscribe

Au Unparalleled Ofer for New Subscribers,
We want anywhere from five hun
dred TO thousand new subscribers on
our list. We want them in order to
make better paper for our patrons
and also TO pocket more money out of
our business. We might adopt one of
several methods of ccomplishing this
end, such as insulting the people of the
county by sending our paper to persons
not subscribers with q notification that
unless they take the trouble and expense
of notifying us otherwise, we shall con-
slider them as wishing to be enrolled
among our subscribers. We might send
around agents to beg unwilling parties
to take the paper. But believing that. our
subscl ibers and others can help us best
My working among their neighbors, we
nhave decided to offer them the follow
ing inducement to do SO. In our adver-
Using columns may be found the an
nouncement of the American Book Ex-
change, which comprises list of the
best standard works, all printed in
good, clear typo, on good paper, and
bound in substantia' style. They are
books that ought 10 be in every library.
We offer as premium for one new
subscriber any of the books in that Est
whose price does not exceed forty cents.
Under this offer will be found the Acme
Library of Modern Classics; Acme
Library o" Standard Biography, second
and third series the Koran of Moham-
med, P'g'im's Progress: 4 "abien
Nights, Robinson ClLsoe, Mt ,chau-
sens Travels end Gu''ver's Travels in
one volrne, Esop's Fables, Millions
Poetical Works, Works of Dante,
Works of Vigril, Homer's Iliad, HON.
ers Odyssey, Arnold's Light of Asia,
and others. Any of the fifty cent works
in the list eau be obtained under the Of
fer IVY paying the extra ten cents in cash.
For tUO new subscribers we offer
any of the publications where price does
iOb CAOCCu ObC uOlldIs
For three new subscribers any whose
price does not exceed dollar and
half. Under this head come Macaulay's
History of England in three volumes.
Works of Flavirs Josephus, Plutarch's
Lives, etc.
For larger number of subscribers
we offer the publications whose price
exceeds $3.50 at the same rate of fifty
cents for each new subscriber obtained.
Thus for twenty-five new subscribers,
if received before Jan. l next, we will
give the large type edition of Chambers
celebrated Encyclopedia, in ten vol
umes, which contains more matter than
either Appleton's or Johnson's Cyclic
pedias.
The only conditions attending this off,
er are that all the subscribers shall be
cash in advance, and that from one to
three weeks time shall be given us to
supply the books. We should perfer
to have those entitled TO the books I'M
der this offer to take them from our
office. IL sent by mail the postage will
be charged. For The convenience of
patrons in the vicinity of Vergennes, we
have made arrangements with Mrs. G.
K. johnson at the Vergennes post-of1ice
to receive subscriptions under this offer.
Remember that these books are all
complete and unabridged. Copies of
may be examined at this office and a
them Mrs. G. f. Johnson's, Vergenncs.
We believe no paper of our standing
has ever before made such liberal Of
fer for new subscriptions. The cheapest
of the books offered have never, so
far as we know, been obtainable for
less than from dollar 70 dollar and
a halt before their publication by the
American Book Exchange.
Show this offer to your sons and
daughters, aud let them add to their
libraries by getting subscriptions.
There is no neighborhood where ma
ny subscriptions might not be obtained
and we hope thus to be the means of
scattering hundreds of books through
the county.
We believe good books are better
premiums than cheap chromos or brass
jcwery, and we trust our patrons
will agree with us.
All the publications of the Anne lean
Book Exchange for sale at the Register
office, or furnished on short noticel
