THE NATURALISTS' COMPANION. 
JUST ZiiOOK:! 
THE 
Naturalists’ Companion 
On account (>f tLe large amount 
of job work on hand, we cannot of¬ 
fer premiums for the month of No¬ 
vember, but instead have reduced 
our subscription rate for the month 
to the price of 25 cents. Why, 
just think of it, reader, you spend as 
much as that for candy and such 
other truck every month,and besides 
when you buy such stuff it disap¬ 
pears within a half an hour and then 
you are no better off* than you were 
before you bought it, whereas if 
you would send us the trilling sum 
of 25 cents you would have some¬ 
thing coming the whole year. 
Something to instruct and interest 
you all these long winter evenings. 
Subscribe immediately, for you will 
not receive another paper until we 
have your name on our list. Lead¬ 
er, show this paper to your young 
friend naturalists that they may 
avail themselves of the opportunity 
to get so good a paper for so small 
an amount of money, they will 
thank you for it. Please do not 
send us any more of those infernal 
postage stamps, we have (mough of 
them already to stock a freight 
house. Jlist place a 25 cent piece 
in the center of your letter and in¬ 
close in a well-directed envelope 
and we will guarantee its safe ar¬ 
rival, or better still send by postal 
note. For the month of November 
we will send twoyearly subscriptions 
for 45 cents; three subs, for 65 cents 
or ffve subs, for one dollar. Let us 
see the name of every one of the 
2000 young people who receive a 
copy of this issue on our sub. list 
at the end ot the month.
