A journal whose friends give such 

 evidence of their support during the 

 first year of its existence can look to- 

 ward the future with confidence. Our 

 Promotion campaigns for EVOLUTION 

 will be made in proportion to the funds 

 provided by readers. For every dollar 

 contributed at least twenty copies of 

 EVOLUTION will go out into the 

 world. We hope that there will be such 

 a response on the occasion of our an- 

 niversary this month, that the field of 

 usefulness for the coming year will be 

 multiplied manifold. 



WHY NOT JOIN US? 



Wouldn't you like to join us in this 

 enterprise of enlightenment? Our im- 

 mediate business is publishing this jour- 

 nal, EVOLUTION, and selling books. 

 Later we shall develop a Lyceum Bureau 

 for touring natural science lecturers. 



Additional capital is needed to push 

 circulation campaign for EVOLUTION. 

 For this purpose Evolution Publishing 



Corporation offers its $10 shares of pre- 

 ferred stock, and gives one $10 share 

 of common, voting stock with every 

 block of five shares subscribed this 

 month. 



It is expected to make the business 

 pay, but shareholders are not invited 

 with the promise that they will "get 

 rich," but because of their interest in 

 furthering this educational work. 



Checks should be made payable to 

 EVOLUTION PUBLISHING COR- 

 PORATION, and you should specify 

 whether payment is in full, or whether 

 it should apply on a larger block of 

 stock to be held until balance is paid.
