CONCERNING CLUBBING PAPERS

Last winter and this spring We
offered a number of attractive club
bing papers and magazine PROPOSE
tons in connection with subscrip-
tions to this paper A large number
took advantage of these bargains.
In order to get some started it has
been necessary for us to write diff
ferent times. So far as we know,
all who subscribed with us for club
bing papers are receiving them.
However there may be some who are
not. II there be such, we wish they
would have no hesitancy in making
the fact known to US. We want all
of our subscribers to have whatever
papers they have ordered, and will
do everything within our power to
see that they get them.
Don't be backward or modest in
the matter, and even if you have al
ready notified US, do it again. A
complaint never comes to this office
that we do not take note of it and
send it on. At certain seasons of
the year some publications receive
thousands of subscriptions day,
and there is very apt to be more or
less delay in getting them started,
which in some cases necessitates our
writing several times.
