Press aacl Personal Opinions. 



Never did the advent of a magazine for the 

 Family touch such a responsive chord, or re- 

 ceive such a hearty welcome. 



What the OtherlFeriodicals Say of it : 



The Canadian TJnney Prndiwer records its 

 opinion thus: "Thomas G.Newman & Son, 

 well known amongst hce-keepers and others, 

 as the editors anil juililishers of the Americ.\n 

 Bee JouH.VAL. ha\'cMaken in hand the publi- 

 cation of the lLi,fSTATp;D Home Journal, a 

 periodical abounding' with instructive and in- 

 teresting first-class literature. There is too 

 much poisonous literature at the present day, 

 and we congraliilato Messrs. Newman upon 

 the appearance of their Journal." 



The Bee, Hive says ; "The contents of the 

 Illustrated Home Joihinal are varied and 

 well chosen for instruction and amusement. 

 'One Hundred Yciirs a Nation,' by the Editor, 

 is an able tribute to our Nation's progi-ess. 

 Stories, current items, etc., follow— among 

 which is an interesting sketch of Washington's 

 Monument." 



Personal Opinions Concemingr it. 



Mrs. L. Harrison, fif Peoria. Ills., records her 

 opinion in this l:inguage : "Many samiile 

 copies of various publications find their wa> 

 to our desk, and soon arenestlingin the waste- 

 basket ; but when the ILLUSTRATED Home 

 Journal came, bearing the name of that well- 

 known firm (Thomas (i. Newman & Son), it met 

 a very different nn'ption. It was read and 

 re-read, and its cotilcnts well noted, and then 

 loaned to a neighbor. We wish it success, and 

 predict for it a glorious future." 



W. M. Barnum. of Angelica. N. Y., writes as 

 follows: "The IlmstratedHo.me Journal 

 unexpectedly (bnl welcomly) found its way to 

 our sanctum reienlly. It is a beautiful and 

 intcnselj- interrstinL' .lournal — well worthy of 

 Publisher Newman's zeal. May it prove a 

 success ! " 



.1. M. Shuck, of Des Moines, Iowa, records 

 his o|)inion thus: "The Illustrated Home 

 Journal is a gem of the first water— appre- 

 ciated as soon as seen." 



James A. Green, of Dayton, Ills., expresses 

 himself thus : " I am very much pleased with 

 the Illustrated Home Journal. I wish and 

 predict for it success. Interesting, instruc- 

 tive, typographically perfect, with ability and 

 enterprise at the helm, it is bound to succeed." 



J. M. Jenkins, of Wetumpka, Ala., writes : 

 "The Illustrated Home Journal is received. 

 We are all delighted with it. Success to it." 



t^~ A Sample Copy will bo sent free, upon 

 application. 



The Illustrated Home Journal is a high- 

 toned, moral and intellectual educator, inval 

 uablo in every library, and a very attractive 

 and inspiring ornament in every drawing- 

 room. 



Its stories are elevating in tone, as well as 

 charmingly thrilling and captivating : its his- 

 torical and biographical sketches are fascinat/- 

 ing and delightful : its Department for " Our 

 Young Folks" is enticing andalluring : and Its 

 miscellaneous matter leads to the higher life, 

 and the moulding of more beautiful thoughts 

 and affections. 



Header, if you receive a numl)er of the 

 Illu.str.\ted Home Journal as a sample, you 

 may know that it is sent to you expecting that 

 you will be so much pleased with it, that you 

 will subscribe for it at once. With a very little 

 effort you can get your neighbors to join you, 

 and thus get up a club, entitling you to a free 

 copy, as well as one of our valuable premiums. 

 Try it. 



Send us the Names and addresses of those 

 of your friends upon whom you desire to call 

 to get their subscriptions, and we will imme- 

 diately send them each a sample copy. In 

 t his way j'ou can readily obtain tlicm for your 

 club, for all who see the Illustkated Home 

 JoiTRNAL will desire to subscribe for it. 



The Articles offered as premiums are all 

 imrchased at lowest wholesale rates, and the 

 club raisers get the benefltof the discount. In 

 tills way wc arc able to give premiums of 

 greater value than if we gave tlieni cash. New 

 premiums ivill be enumerated in future num- 

 bers of the Illustrated Home Journal. 



Premiums are due when the names and 

 money arc here, and may be tjiken at any time. 

 You can have them right along as you earn 

 them, or wait a little and have more together, 

 and save a part of the cost of (rausi)ortatlon. 



Write your Name, Post-Ollicc, County and 

 St;ito plainly, and if your Exiiress or Fi-cight 

 odice differs from .\'our Post-ollice, give that too 

 if you order anything by Express or Freight. 



Each Order or Xetter must be complete in 

 itself, and not refer to somethlngwrittenaday 

 or a week before, for that letter may be filed 

 away with thousands of others, and very likely 

 the person ^vho reads your second letter never 

 sii\y your former one. 



Ho-w to Send Money.— As we do a Cash 

 liusiness only, nothing will be sent until we 

 receive the money. We send not hing C. O. D. 

 Money must lie sent by Bank Draft, Post-Ollice 

 or Express Money Order, or Ucgi.stered Letter.
