THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



March, 1909 



$1,000 For Thinking 



Publishers, like other people (we speak 

 for ourselves), get into ruts, and that is bad 

 for progress. 



Our books and magazines go to perhaps 

 a half million of the brightest people in the 

 United States, and you, dear sir or madam, 

 who are doing us the favor of reading this 

 announcement, are of the elect. Will you 

 give us some suggestions and plans based 

 on experience ? 



We have four selling problems (besides a 

 few we won't bother you about). They are: 



I To make known and to interest people 



in all our Book Publications. 

 II To make known and to interest new 

 people in The World's Work. 

 Ill To make known and to interest new 



people in Country Life in America. 

 IV To make known and to interest new 

 people in The Garden Magazine. 

 When we think of the number of persons 

 who might be concerned if they could only 

 be brought to know of them, we are 

 appalled at the extent of the work we have 

 not yet done. 



Question : 



How to extend the sale and influence of 

 items I, II, III, IV. We want some well- 

 worked-out plans to accomplish these things. 

 To be valuable, the suggestions must be 

 practical, and should not require an 

 expense of $2.00 to get back $1.00. 



For this service we offer: 



Four prizes under each of the four heads, 

 as follows: 



for the best suggestion 

 $25 for the second-best suggestion 

 $15 for the third-best suggestion 

 $10 for the fourth-best suggestion 

 No limit to the number of suggestions, 

 and one person may win a prize in one or 

 more divisions. If you can take any active 

 part in the working out of the plan, 

 so much the better. 



Rules are Simple 



1st. Each plan must be written on a sepa- 

 rate sheet, and headed under the 

 proper subject, i. e. : 

 I. Book Plans 

 II. The World's Work 

 III. Country Life in America 

 IV. Garden Magazine-Farming 



2d. All plans must be in our hands by 

 March 8th, and conciseness of state- 

 ments will count. 



3d. The publishers will be the judges. If 

 no good suggestions, no prizes. If 

 more than 16 good ideas are received, 

 we will pay for them. 



4th. Suggestions which may not be used 

 returned only if stamps are enclosed; 

 the payment of a prize gives us full 

 right to use the plan without further 

 payment. 

 5th. Awards will be published in the May 

 issues. 

 If you want any more particulars, write 

 and ask for them. Book catalogues on 

 request.
