The Progressive Farmer i& Twenty-One Years Old This Week, and if
You Are Younger Than the Paper,-Whether Boy or Girl, Young Man or
Young AVoman, Then This Letter is Intended for You.
' Are you 2 1 years old? " ; j
jsioWj i aon;t mean to' embarrass
any of the young ladies bur we don't"
believe it will embarrass : them be
cause our observation is that they
- don't mind telling their age until af
ter they pass the 21 stage. . -
But that is neither. here nor there.
We want 'our question answered."
Are you 21 years old?
You are " not? Well, ; if you are
not, then this letter is intended espe
cially for you, whether, you are boy
or girliyoung man, or; young woman.
. You see we are 21, years old. The
Progressive Farmer has a birthday
this week . , and that is its age
twenty-one. . -
And now we hate decided, dear
young friends, tnat on reaching this
stage of its career, The Progressive
Farmer must have a "celebration wor
thy of its record, and we want every
member of The Progressive Farmer
Family to help.
V Thirty thousand subscribers that
is the goal of the campaign we have
now decided to make in celebration
of our coming of age, and we have
decidedto spend mqney enough and
offer premiums -and prizes liberal
enough to leave no doubt of success.
And in winning this success, more
over, we are counting heavily on the
help of our.boys and girls, our young
men and - young women, who are
younger than the paper. We, especi
ally want you to bestir yourself in
our behalf, and we have hit upon a
plan that will certainly arouse you
to action.
It will interest you because it will
pay you and pay you handsomely.
The trouble is that we are dead
v bent on getting 30,000 subscribers
for theold Progressive Farmer, and
are willing to sink a thousand dol
lars to get them right away. "
. - So we are offering the most liberal
- subscription commissions you ever
. heard ; of just how liberal I cannot
tell you here, but I have written a
letter to your father telling all about
it, and asking him to get your help.
Nor do we stop with the commis
sion although that is big pay, and
will enable you to make good money"
-but we go further:- , x
Every working day for the thirty
days from February 14th to March
3th we are-going to give a cash
prize of $1 for the largest amount in
new subscriptions received that day
from anybody younger than the Pro
gressive Farmer that is to say, un
der. 21 years old. .
It may. be one subscriber, two sub
scribers, three subscribers, or a doz
en: you will get your full cash com
mission on all you send, and in addi
tion, another cash prize of $1 if your
collection: is the largest, of the day
sent by any one under 21.
That is all- that's the whole story,
and. now we 'want our young people
to rally to us and carry the old Pro
gressive Farmer to 30,000.
Our young, women we are count
ing especially on their help, and the
liberal commissions we offer will en
able them to make not a little pin
money.
-erf r - ' '
And our school-boys and school
girls the same liberal offer is open
to them. : Let them find out from
their schoolmates what farmers are
not subscribers and make a clean
sweep. - . . "' -
And our older farmer boys let
everybody help. Any boy or girl,
young man or young woman, can
make good money by canvassing for
new subscriptions these next 30 days
new subscriptions, remember, for
we mean subscriptions from persons
not now taking the paper, and no
commission can be allowed on orders
from families that already get it.
But we have talked enough here's
a blank all ready, see the letter we
have sent your father, find out what
neighbors are not taking the paper,
get to work, send us a club, make
your commission, and , win a prize.
We count on your help.
