LIBERAL PREMIUM 
ANNOUNCEMENT. 
GRAND CHANCES FOR AGENTS! 
Read, tills Page Carefully. 
A few weeks since we offered a number of articles as Premiums on surprisingly liberal terms. 
Our readers have shown their appreciation in a very practical manner. So much interest has 
been shown that we are emboldened to offer the following articles, confident that our friends will 
be quick to take advantage of the opportunities thus given. 
Remember that these articles are first-class in every way. They are not thrown together in a 
cheap manner as many premium articles are ; but they are as good and perfect in every way as 
any that the manufacturers furnish for a corresponding price. 
Remember, also, that they are offered at these ridiculously low figures simply and solely 
because the RURAL does not care to carry them instock and willnot SELL them. Many of them are 
practically given away as it is. 
We have only a few of these articles on hand. If an agent sees something in this list that he 
desires and can win* he should at once notify us that he proposes to try for it. We will then give him 
the first chance. If the articles should all be taken, we will at once notify those who are working for 
them. _

Other Premiums- 
Our readers will pardon us for again calling their attention to the excellent oilers 
made in our regular Premium List. We have frequently claimed that the Ruhal 
New-Yorker offers the best terms to agents of any paper in the country. This state¬ 
ment has never been contradicted, fora glance at, the Premium List will convince any 
one that a contradiction cannot he made. We compared many lists published by other 
papers with our own before making the above claim. Our list comes the nearest to 
giving “somethingfor nothing” of anything of the kind yet published. We invite 
all new readers of this paper to send for our regular Premium List, which will be 
gladly mailed upon application.
