TO ALL THOSE ACTIVE MEN AND WOMEN who are now, and have been, working for 
a share of the$2,ooo.oo cash to be divided on May i: We sent you “special” letters No. i 
and No. 2 by mail. This is a shorter cut across fields to reach you all with one letter! It is to 
remind you that quick, active work in these last two weeks of April will “tell the story’ for 
The Rural New-Yorker and American Gardening club raisers. Do you really appreciate 
the fact that many of these “special” premiums are actually worth more cash than the whole amount of cash for the 
subscriptions required to win them ? It is a positive and important fact that should not be overlooked. And there are 209 
of these “specials” still to be called for (of the original total of 317.) This shows that any and every club raiser may win a 
handsome prize among the “specials,” and ALSO a share of the $2,000.00 cash that is to be divided, pro rata, among all those 
who, on May 1, shall have sent in five or more new subscriptions to The Rural New-Yorker, or American Gardening, 
(subscriptions for either count in the club.) 
From now on is a good time for the work, particularly on the magazine, and in or near the towns and villages. 
If you have sent in a large club, why not increase and get more of the cash and another ‘‘special?” If you have sent in 
less than five, DO add enough to entitle you to a “special” and some of .the $2,000.00. 
If you have not started a club, there is still plenty of time, in the two weeks, to get five or more in almost any 
neighborhood. A few hours is ample in most cases. Yours sincerely, 
THE RURAL PUPLISHING COMPANY, 
April 13, 1893. . E. H. LIBBY, General Manager.
