ton told liel
One of our subscribers complains because we make
better terms to subscribers than to old. This, my
friend, is on the same principle that man lays out
money in advertising, or pays all profits to get the
to spread the gospel abroad to those who have
taken reform paper. We give the G. W. and the
book for 75c-37Hc each, to subscribers. Now we
can't afford to do chat to every sub. the list
so would put subscription price at 38c All
publishers pay commission to agents. This knocks
off profits But can't do this to al-else couldn't
have agentsl-and the loss Of few commissions
few flstyear subs. leaves the cost, and the regu-
lars' keep us in bread and butter.
