1. Previously to this date, (Sept. 1876), our offers of Premiums have applied to new subscriptions only. Hereafter, in awarding Premiums, we shall make no distinction between new subscriptions and renewals.

2. Premiums are offered for procuring subscriptions—not for subscribing. But the applicant's own subscription or renewal, when he procures one or more other names to send with it, will, of course, be counted.

3. The full subscription price (one dollar and sixty cents) must be paid for each name. No premium is given for subscriptions supplied at club rates.

4. The money must always be sent, with the names, direct to the Publisher. No premium is given for subscriptions sent through agents. No name is entered on our books until the money is received.

5. Do not wait to make up your whole list before sending. Send the first two names, stating that they are to be placed to your credit for a premium, and add more as you get them.

6. Bear in mind that we do not give a premium or open an account for less than two subscriptions (one of which, however, may be your own); but, after the account is opened, you may add one subscription at a time if you choose—never omitting to state in your letter that it is to go to your credit for a premium.

7. Write the name and address of each subscriber plainly, and always state whether a renewal or a new name; and when you call for your premium, be sure to give your own name and address so plainly that it cannot be mistaken.

8. Date your letters carefully, and state in them always the exact amount of money sent, and the form in which it is sent—whether in Bank-bills, Check or Postal-order. It is a good plan to keep a copy of your letter.

9. If you do not receive the magazine promptly in response to your remittance, or if you do not promptly receive any premium that you may have ordered, notify us immediately, stating always the date of your previous letter. Wait a sufficient time for ordinary delays of the mail—but no longer.
