The Hf1asfss Artists f!
They are given awsy to readers
Of this paper.

They are issued in parts containing Is
masterpieces and one page of descriptive
matter about the picture and the artist.
Thelfirst of those parts is now ready
for delivery and will be mailed to any of
our readers who will cut out the coupon
on the fourth page of this paper and for
ward it to us with ten cents, either in
coin or postage stamps. To city subscri-
bers it will BE- delivered over our counter
on receipt of One Coupon and ten cents.
SucoC eding parts will be sent on re-
ceipt of Six Coupons and ten cents.
Every one who has seen the part says
that it is well worth two dollars.
We rely upon the increase of subscrip-
tions to repay us for our expense.
Therefore we ask you to give the extra
coupons this week to your friends and
have them get the first part. We know
that when they get the first they will
want all the others and will have to take
the paper regularly to get the coupons.
That is the whole idea.
This series of art pictures will be the
most complete and magnificent ever
published.
Every artist of note, through the world,
contributes his or her best work to the
series.
The engravings are of the very highest
grade of Photographic Copper half-tones,
and are perfect reproductions of the mag
nificent originals. Do not neglect to cut
out the coupon to-day and get your part
Immediately and don't forget your
friends.

Did we Steal Them ?

No, the man who suggested that we
must have stolen these Masterpieces Of
Art was mistaken; we paid good
money for them and we are Icing re-
paid by the thanks of our readers, and
by the efforts they are making to
spread our circulation. They are the
best kind of canvsssers, and are doing
their work well. Out of town readers
will forward their coupons and ten
cents and address to this office, and
we will have the part sent them by
mail from New York. Local readers
should hand in the coupons and ten
cents at this office and take the part
home with them, II possible bring a
friend along, so that he may see what
"a good thing II is.

An Art Gem.

Every one who has seen the first part
of Masterpieces from the Art Galleries
of the World" acknowledges its beauty
ami value, and they wonder how
we can afford to givelit away as we do.
They do not realize that securing more
readers, regular subscribers, is the
great aim of every publisher and that
he is willing to spend great deal of
money in doing it. This system costs
US very little more than the employ
ment Orexpensive canvassers and it is a
much mo re pleasantway. Every body
is thankiugu us for what we are doing.
Oar old subscribers feel that we are
doing a friendly act and in return they
are inducing thousands of new ones TO
start in with us. For this first part,
one coupon and ten cents is all that We
require, for further parts six coupons
aud ten cents will be asked. That
will compel the new men to take the
paper regularly every dsy. That is
the why in nutshell.

Against "PreferredD Creditors.

ALBANY, Jan. 1s-The bill which SEN
ator Cantor introduced yesterday in re-
lation to the immediate maturity of all
obligations of an insolvent man is one of
the most important measures introduced
in the legislature in years. Under the old
law creditors sometimes had to wait
months for the collection of the same,
until the paper which they held matured.
The proposed bill natures all debts Of all
kinds and characters, and places every
creditor ON an enual footing.

What We Expect You to
Do For Us.

Every LAY a coupon will be printed on
the fourth page Of this paper. For this,
FIRST, you require only one of these cOu-
pons, give the others to different friends
tOho should be readers of this poper.
Induce them to bring the coupons to the
Office and secure the first part of ''Mas-
terpieoes."
After that We are quite sure they will
take and read the paper regularly to
obtain the other parts.
If after that we cannot hold them as
regular readers, it will be our own fault.
Do not be uneasy if you do not receive
your mail order for few days. The
demand is to great that it is sometimes
impossible TO keep up with orders.
