NOTICE TO THE PATRONS OF THE
REGISTER.


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 accomplishing this
end, such as insulting the people of the
county by sending our paper to persons
not subscribers with a 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
subscribers and others can help us best
by working among their neighbors, we
have decided to Offer them the follow
Ing inducement to do so. In our advcr-
tisipg 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 substantial style. They are
books that ought to be in every library.
We offer as n premium for one new
subscriber any OF the books In that list
whose price does not exceed forty cents.
Under this offer will be found tho Acme
Library Of Modern Classics; Acme
Library o: Standard Biography, second
and third series; the Koran of Moham-
med, Pilgrims Progress; Arabian
Nights, Robinson Crusoc, Munchau.
sens Travels and Gullivcr's Travels IN
one volume, Esop's Fables, Millions
Pootical Works, Works of Dante,
Works of Vigril, IIomcr's Had, Hon.
ers Odyssey, Arnold's Light of Asia,
and others. Any Of the fifty cent works
in the list can be obtained under the Of
fer by paying the extra ten cents in cash.
For tUo new subscribers we offer
any of the publications where price does
not exceed one dollar.
For three new subscribers any whose
price does not exceed dollar and a
half. Under this head come Macaulay's
History of England i'm three volumes.
Works of Flavins Josephus, Plutarchs
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. next, we will
give the large type edition of Chambers
celebrated Encyclopedia, in ten vol
umcs, 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. If 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.
4. johnson at the Vergennes post-ofiice
to receive subscriptions under this offer.
Remember that these books are all

may be examined at this office and al
them Mrs. G. l.. Johnson's, Vergennes
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 20 dollar and
half before their publication by the
American Book Exchange.
Show this offer to your sons and
daughters, and 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
jeweIry, and we trust our patrons
will agree with us.
All the publications of the American
Book Exchange for sale at the Register
office, or furnished on short notice.
