BUPVimmi TO THE BUBAi fJEW-YOBKER. 
IMPORTANT 
TO ALL READERS AND AGENTS. 
It has been decided that in Clubs of FIVE or OVER we will mail The Rural New-Yorker from 
now until January 1st, 1688, for 
$ 1 . 50 . 
That is. Fifty Cents Commission will be allowed for every yearly subscriber. After January 1st, 
1887, the Rural New-Yorker will be mailed One Year in Clubs of five or over for $1.50 until further 
notice. For single subscriptions the price will be as hitherto, invariably $2.00 per year. In Clubs 
of less than five, as well as for larger Clubs, the Premium List should be consulted. 
We beg to say that the following Premium List has been made up, with the kindly aid of our ad¬ 
vertising patrons, so as to allow, in the articles offered from ONE TO TWO DOLLARS FOR EACH 
SUBSCRIPTION SENT. We have spared neither pains nor expense to induce our friends to work 
for the Rural New-Yorker during the present subscription season. 
BEGIKTOW! 
We will send Specimen Copies to any names or list of names forwarded 
to this office as often as desired, in order to aid our friends in 
obtaining subscribers. 
Meanwhile we shall exert our best endeavors to make the Rural better than ever. 
RURAL NEW-YORKER, 34 PARK ROW NEW YORK. 
AND AGENTS. 
The attention of all our readers and agents is called to the 
above announcement. With the view of inducing our friends 
to exert themselves in the “RURAL’S” behalf, we have done all 
in our power (limited only by prudence) to present a list of arti¬ 
cles which will pay them adequately for their work. In so far as 
we may judge, a more liberally scaled premium list has never 
been presented by any trustworthy journal. 
To those who prefer a cash compensation, we have to announce 
that, as above stated, in clubs of live, or over, the price of the 
“RURAL NEW-YORKER” will be, until further notice, $1.50. 
Respectfully and earnestly soliciting the support which our 
friends may deem the “RURAL” worthy of, they may rest as¬ 
sured that nothing can moderate our desire to increase its influ¬ 
ence, and to make it in every way more worthy of their confi¬ 
dence and regard. 
INSTRUCTIONS. 
Send for all tlie specimen copies and posters desired. A good way is to hand 
several specimens to those who may wish to subscribe (or have us, at our expense, 
mail them) and then, allowing a few days for examination, call upon them and solicit 
their subscriptions. Commence the work at once. Commencing early insures success. 
The Rural values the entire confidence of its readers, and therefore has no inter¬ 
est whatever in the sale of anything except the R. N.-Y. If you wish to purchase 
any premium found in the List, apply to the manufacturers, kindly mentioning the 
Rural. 
The smaller premiums are given for procuring new subscribers—in other words 
for increasing our circulation. It will be apparent to all fair-minded readers that we 
can not afford to pay for individual renewals of subscriptions. We assume that, 
knowing the paper, no such inducement should be required. When, however, they 
are willing to exert themselves in our behalf by sending us new subscribers, or by 
makiug up clubs, whether new or old, then our club-rates or premium list is 
AVAILABLE. 
You can send for a Premium for each subscriber as the names are sent to this office, 
or complete the list, and then select as may be preferred. 
Old and new subscribers, we repeat, count in clubs of five or over, and they may 
be sent from differed post-offices. 
Money, sent by letter, almost always reaches us safely. Still unless registered, 
we can not assume any risk. 
Premiums are sent at the expense of the agent, unless otherwise noted, either by 
mail or express as desired. This Premium List will be operative until June 1st, 1887. 
The following premium list is the most liberal we have ever offered, in fact, 
we consider it the most liberal list ever offered by any paper in this country. We 
do not like to ask our friends to work for us for less money than they could make 
working for themselves. We are a little proud of the fact that every one of our 
subscribers is like a personal friend, and we know that the majority of them will 
gladly say a “good word” in the “ Rural’s” behalf. We do not like to see 
people work for nothing ; we object to doing it ourselves, and we will not ask 
others to do it. We wish to make a business arrangement with every one of our 
friends. We want to extend our circulation, and we want the help of every per¬ 
son who sees the Rural New-Yorker. We propose to pay for this help, and a 
study of this List will show the amount of pay we offer. If any person can obtain 
surer returns by canvassing for any other paper, we desire to be told of it. Start 
now, and you can offer the paper for the rest of this year, and the whole of next, 
for one price. We will gladly answer all questions, and keep all supplied with 
posters and specimens. 
Our readers should understand that these premiums are given for new sub¬ 
scriptions, and not to new subscribers. The “Rural” is well worth the sub¬ 
scription j>rice. In times past new subscribers have demanded premiums for their 
own single subscriptions. That there may be no misunderstanding during this 
campaign, we will state that the premiums will be given only to those who are 
already subscribers, or to regular agents. Any new subscriber will be entitled to 
commissions for any subscriptions he may send after his subscription has 
been received, The premiums are not given because we think something ad¬ 
ditional is needed to make the “Rural” worth its price. We give the various 
articles named in our list, simply as payment for services rendered. Those 
who work for us, and spend their time and energies in helping to extend the cir¬ 
culation of the “ Rural,” deserve to be rewarded, the same as if they engaged 
in any other work. 
We have just had printed a new and beautiful poster. It is 
handsome enough to hang anyw here. We want to have one 
hanging in every house, eve ry store, every post-office, every grange 
every shop, every stable, and every barn. You cannot pos sibly put 
up too many of them. Place them in every spot where farmers 
congregate. Keep them befo re the public. We will gladly send 
copies to all who apply. Send for the full account of our Free Seed 
Distribution. Join in the RU RAL campaign for 1880-7. Begin nowl
