TO you who are 

 quick to see a 

 good thing and 

 quicker to take 

 it — these four 



novels by Gene — 



Stratton Porter which 3,000,000 people have already bought at full 

 price are FREE. And this is why: 



I Share a Prize with You 



Mr. P. N. Doubleday of Doubleday, Page & Company- 

 has offered me $10,000 for a certain number of subscriptions 

 for COUNTRY LIFE IN AMERICA, provided I get them within a 

 few weeks. I've decided that the quickest way to get that 

 $10,000 is to divide it with the public. 



As the publisher says that I cannot cut the price of the 

 magazine, I am giving you your share in the form of these four 

 novels — the work of the most popular author living today. 



THE LITTLE COUNTRY OFFICE 



I could not afford to make you any such offer as this 

 if I were not down here in Locust Valley — a small dot 

 only put on very big maps — where rent and light and 

 heat and printing cost nearly nothing. But I'm near 

 enough to New York to drop in and pick up for my 

 customers some mighty good book things that nobody 

 else ever hears about. 



Send the coupon today without money. Get the four volumes free— and Co un y Life in America for a whole year. 



Gene Stratton Porter 



Never has there been an author so 

 beloved. The publishers, enthusiastic 

 themselves, have been overwhelmed by 

 the demand for her books. When the 

 last one was announced 150,000 people 

 demanded it before it was bound . 

 50,000 waited for the second edition be- 

 fore it was printed. 50,000 awaited a 

 third edition. Perhaps this is because to 

 Gene Stratton Porter Nature is a living 

 thing — intimate as our human neighbors 



are to us — perhaps because she really 

 understands and can tell that harmony 

 that deep down, exists between a man 

 and a woman and the great outdoors. 

 These are novels — exquisite in plot, 

 in style, in conception — but they are 

 more — they are literature, literature 

 that will live. For she has reached 

 the hearts of all the people as suddenly 

 and as powerfully as did Dickens — 

 and, like him, she will stay. 



With Country Life in America 

 for a Year 



Each month for the year you will receive this magazine — with the beauty 

 and charm of outdoor life — with invaluable information from John Bur- 

 roughs, Krnest Seton Thompson, Jack London and others, with special 

 departments on Dogs, Gardening, Decorating, etc., all perfectly printed 

 on heavy lustrous paper and magnificently illustrated, in black and colore. 



Send No Money 



Cut off and send the coupon. It will bring the four volumes — all charges pre- 

 paid on approval. At the sametime your name will be entered for Country Life 

 in America for a year. If the books are not what you expect, send them back 

 at my expense. Otherwise pay SO cents when you get them, to cover express 

 age and packing, and $1 a month for four months thereafter for the maga 

 zine. The books are FREE. 



_ I don't get the $10,000 unless I get the subscriptions within a certain 

 time — and if I don't get the $10,000 I can't give you the books, in which 

 case I will return your coupon. So you must send the coupon at 

 once. Send it today and be sure to be in time.
