M. Stanfeld, Sof 1853 Wells Alley,
N. w. again calls attention Of the
patrons Of The Planet to give him
your subscription for The Richmond
Planet and save him and yourself
some undue expense. $500 per year
instead of $2.69 as you now pay for
it by the copy Then think of the
cost to the Agent, through sunshine
and rain and snow and the soles
that are worn out during twelve
months service. Uncle Sam will do
it all and render you more efficient
service for $500. Your Agent will
highly appreciate this kindness.
Muzzle not the OK that treadeth out
