Do you believe in fairies? We ask this question because if you do, you will at once be reminded that all good fairies stand ready upon the slightest provocation to lend their assistance to a good cause. When the virtuous Cinderella’s fortunes were at a low ebb the waving of the fairy wand promptly summoned to her aid a host of cheerful attendants who worked so industriously in her behalf that she immediately became a princess and lived happily ever after.
The Storytellers’ Magazine, like the good fairy is interested in the welfare of the Children, and, also like the good fairy, is waving its wand to summon a host of workers to its side. At this moment it is waving its wand directly atyou. In Fairyland, as you may have noticed, the cheerful little fairy workers respond immediately to the waving of the wand, and work most industriously without other remuneration than the thought of a brave deed well done.
In Storyland, however, the case is quite different. Besides the consciousness of duty well performed the workers receive a material compensation for their services. They not only have the honor of winning subscribers and adherents to the story tellers’ cause, but the satisfaction of a substantial recognition besides. What is your reply? Will you come and help us—for a consideration? We need an army of workers, a veritable fairy host who will make The Storytellers’ Magazine a welcomed guest in every corner of the land. If you will join forces with us in building up a great subscription list you will aid in making The Storytellers’ Magazine agreatMagazine. If you will but wave your wand we promise to wave ours.
Every one is interested in the story telling idea, and when you show that for the modest sum ofeight and three-quarter cents each monthone may not only be kept in close touch with this great movement, but enjoy a liberal education in the delightfulstories and other illustrative literature which appear in the columns of the Magazine, you will be sure to find not only a cordial welcome, but a subscriber as well.
Send us at once your name and address, and let us know what territory you will become responsible for, and we will send you the necessary instructions about getting subscribers.
Do not attempt at first to cover too much territory. It is far better to cover a small territory thoroughly than a large area half heartedly. We have in preparation a list of premiums and club combinations which can be offered in connection with the Magazine. When ready, this list will be furnished to you and will aid you in getting subscribers.
