AUQITE STOVE=MATS 



We first offered this article for 

 sale in November, of last year ; 

 and since tliat time we have dis- 

 posed of about 150 gross, or over 

 30,000. Very many ol our readers 

 are already supplied, and appreci- 

 ate the blessing they have lieen to 

 them. They are, in fact, a house- 

 hold .necessity. Probal)ly many 

 of those first sent out now need re- 

 placing with new ones, or per- 

 haps an extra one would not come amiss during the 

 fruit-canning season, especially wlien it will cost 

 you nothing. Certainlj' you could make no worse 

 use of it than to present it to a neighbor who has 

 not yet learned of its value. If your subscription 

 is in arrears we will require that you pay all arrears 

 and a year in advance in order to secure this pre- 

 miuT). If you secure a new subscription to send 

 along with yours you may offer su(;h person Gi.,ean- 

 INGS till the end of 1894 from the time you take the 

 subscription for $1.00, and we will give you another 

 stove-mat for securing the name and sending it 

 along with yours together with SS.OO to cover both 

 subscriptions.
