A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS 



Arc expended every year by the American people for their periodical literature, with very little idea of 

 economy in the transaction, such as business wisdom dictates in the wholesale purchase of other commodities. 

 The above offers give the individual purchaser the advantages of wholesale rates, with no agents or middlemen 

 of any kind — the subscriber getting the whole advantage. The list given above is only an example of what we 

 are prepared to offer to all who include THE CONTINENT in their lists. If you are going to take any of the 

 periodicals named, or any others, submit your list for our estimate. It will defy competition. 



As to THE CONTINENT itself, the New-York Observer says: "It ranks in literary merit and artistic 

 quality with the best and oldest-established magazines in the country • " and the poet Whittier said, in renew- 

 ing his subscription : " It has more than fulfilled its promises ; I cannot do without it." THE CONTINENT 

 has been lavish of promises, and has fulfilled every one. ft will fulfill these. We are glad to answer inquiries. 

 Let us know what you want. Specimen copy sent on application. 



Subscriptions to THE CONTINENT and other periodicals may begin with any number of either. Be sure 

 and state wtien you want each to begin. Remit by draft or money order. The NEW POSTAL NOTES are 

 just out, and will be found very convenient in remitting odd sums of money. The above figures arc "odd" 

 enough ; that is. because they are figured down to the lowest cent for your advantage.
