should spend that time gathering the
subscriptions of your friends and
make the clipped coupons secondary
issue. Tell all your friends to save
them for you, and you yourself get all

extra time doing it; but If you should
study the matter out u little you will
see that one subscription for one year

could get in three days gathering
coupons.
Get Long Subscriptions.
In securing subscriptions on this
vote offer, do not get six months sub.

two for six months; two years, the
same as four for six months; three
years, two set; and five years counts
three sets and one over.

work means that you are putting OFF
