THE NEW DEPARTMENT
Although we have opened our new department, “Out of Doors,” a little later than was intended, we believe that it will meet with favor among our readers. We hope, too, that, in the future, it will grow in size as well as in interest.
TO CONTRIBUTORS
The publishers of Youth desire to state that for a time, hereafter, they will be unable to examine manuscripts submitted for publication, except those to be entered in the Prize Competition. Full particulars in regard to this offer will be found in one of the advertising pages of this issue.
50c. FOR TWENTY-FIVE NAMES
Anyone who will send us the names and addresses of twenty-five of his friends, boys or girls, and fifty cents additional, will receive a year’s subscription to Youth. The magazine will be sent to any desired address. This is a very easy way for any person, young or old, to obtain a year’s subscription. We wish the twenty-five names for the sole purpose of distributing sample copies of Youth. They will be put to no other use, so that no one need have any hesitation in sending the list.
AN EASY WAY TO EARN MONEY
In order to increase the circulation of Youth as rapidly as possible, we have decided to make some exceptional inducements to boys and girls to obtain subscriptions. The work can be done after school hours, and on Saturdays and holidays. The arrangement we make for doing the canvassing renders the work very agreeable, and the commission offered is so large that it cannot fail to be an inducement.
To such of our readers as would like to earn a considerable sum of money with little effort, we suggest that they send us their names and addresses, and we will at once forward full particulars.
SPECIAL SUBSCRIPTION OFFER
In order to make it a substantial object for our subscribers to interest themselves in extending the circulation of Youth, we have decided to make the following special offer:
For every new subscription sent us we will send, free of all cost, one of any of the books named in the accompanying list. These books are the latest and best stories of the most popular writers for boys and girls. They are beautifully illustrated and handsomely bound. The regular price of each book is $1.25. This is an exceptional opportunity for any one to add to his library with little effort, and we trust that a very large number of our subscribers will quickly avail themselves of this special offer. This, of course, does not apply to those taking advantage of our other subscription offers.
