THE RURAL NEW-YORKER.

this country and a band of Indians. The picture was a little obscured 
and rubbed in places, so it was hard to say just what the white man 
was handing out. It may have been a rum bottle—for that figured 
largely in the civilization of this country—but whatever it was, there 
was plenty of evidence that the trade was very satisfactory.

But now we do not need to go back into early history to find the 
scene for a striking picture or evidence of a satisfactory bargain. 
Here we have it right by our side—a picture of The R. N.-Y., and his 
friend, the American farmer, in their great act of exchanging cour¬ 
tesies of the season. No explanation needed there—the whole thing 
is in plain view, and no man can justly say that Mr. Farmer is getting 
the worst of the deal. He knows that if he doesn’t get his dollar’s 
worth out of the paper, he can have his money refunded at any time, 
and that The R. N.-Y.’s only hope for success lies in making the paper 
worth more than $1 to him. j J J 
We started our August list of premiums quite largely as an experi¬ 
ment. It was a new idea, and we felt sure it would take some little 
time to acquaint our readers with it. In fact the August scheme 
was chiefly an educator to let our friends know that we are going to 
the core of the subscription business this year. Some of these premiums 
were sent for ridiculously small clubs. For example, that Sure-Shot 
Rifle went to a man who sent only one yearly svbscription. In spite of 
these small August clubs, we have faith in this system of offering 
daily premiums, and we, therefore, make a more liberal offer than 
ever for September. It is cash that talks in these times, and 
as we desire earnest conversation with all our agents, we purpose 
to furnish the cash, and ask them to do the talking.

Now, there are the five Sweepstakes Premiums. They will be given to the agents sending the five largest clubs 
in September. The agent sending the largest club will have first choice, the second largest, second, and so on. 
To explain so that you can’t possibly get it mixed up: We pay $2 in cash to the agents sending the 
largest clubs of subscriptions each working day in September. In addition to this, an account will be kept with 
each agent, and whatever subscriptions he sends during the month will be credited to him, and on October 1 the 
agent with the largest list may take his pick of these five articles—the second, third, fourth and fifth following 
in like manner. To illustrate : John Smith sends five yearly subscriptions September 1, four on the 8th, 10 on 
the 15th, 12 on the 22nd, and 16 on the 29th. On three of these dates his clubs are the largest, and he receives $6 
On October 1 it is found that his 47 subscriptions make the largest club for the month. His first choice is the 
bicycle, and off he rides on it. We consider this

POINTS TO BE REMEMBERED 
This offer holds good for September only. 
Renewals 'and new subscriptions count the same. Two six-months’ or four 
trial subscriptions count the same as one yearly. 
The $2 cash will be mailed each night to the sender of the largest club for 
that day. 
If you work for a Sweepstakes Premium, let us know beforehand which one 
j ou want. This will save time at the end of the month. 
We will gladly send sample copies, posters and circulars to all who can use them. 
If you fall to take hold of this, you may be missing one of the best chances you 
have ever had to make some money. 
This Offer will be carried out in every detail, no matter how small 
the clubs may be.
