 gladly subscribe to it if it were only brought 

 to their notice, and its claims presented. 

 When making an exhibit, please send for 

 our Colored Posters and sample copies, and 

 get up a club. In this way you will not 

 only pay yourself for the trouble, but also 

 aid the pursuit, and its defense all over the 

 country.
