Dear Friend,
Mr. Will G. Turner, the well-known publisher and managing Editor of City and Country, that
excellent 16-page monthly magazine published at Columbus Ohio has recently made an offer in
connection with his publication which should certainly be accepted by you.
City and Country has been regular published at the rate of $1.00 per year for the past event
years. Mr. Turner's is anxious to increase his already large circulation within the next three
months to 50,000 regular subscribers more.
To accomplish this, believing that every subscriber, will, as the expiration of their subscriptions,
he has devised the following plan:
Every person deserving to become a subscriber to City and Country, which, but the way, each
year four or five continued stories, thirty or forty illustrations in each issue, and a large amount
of interesting reading especially so for the ladies is requested so carefully and plainly write and
complete of this letter and sign your name at the bottom.
These notices must then be mailed by you to two of your friends or acquaintances in some
other form or locality, who are thereby requested to do just as you have done. Write two
notices and send to two of their friends, and as the work will go on and on.
After mailing the two notices the original letter which you copy from, together with a shift of
marketing paper, can about the size of a poetical card with your address plainly written on one
side and the address of the two to whom you have sent the notices on the other side, and 25
cents on postage stamps must be enclosed in a letter and mailed to Will G. Turner, Columbus,
Ohio. On the receipt on there you will be placed on the subscription list for one year, the cost
for the present month will be faithfully mailed, and also, which is the great reason why you
should accept this offer, five comfort march in pamphlet form will be sent you by mail, postpaid, which would regularly case-one dollar each if bound in cloth. Do not let this offer face, as
Mr. Turner only proposes to let this offer stand for a short time. True it requires some time and
work to copy all this twice, but you will be most handsomely rewarded for it.
