 WESTERN ADVERTISER! 
 
 LONDOISr, ONT. 
 
 FBOH NOf UNTIL NEW TEAR'S &BATIS. 
 
 Til K can vassiiig season lias ojK'iicd out briskly, tin* fine harvest with which Ontario 
 has b(H'n favored, iilacing the fanners in a jjood fiosition ; and, in consequence, 
 agents have less work to secure subsi^ilM'rs, and find little trouble in raising large 
 clubs. Intendingcanvassei-s should lose no time in going to work — now is the time I 
 We have hundreds of friends, ladies and gentlemen, who ivgularly, with each 
 recurring year, give us elfet^tive aid in extending our circulation, and we feel 
 gmteful for their very efficient help. Since last fall public sentiment has been 
 turned more than ever in favor ofRefoi-m, owing to the i-ecent |)olitical developmentH. 
 This fact, in addition to the steady improvement in the Western Advertiheii, gives 
 tigents a tine op))ortunity of introducing a it^liable Liberal journal into new sections. 
 All the sjwcial featur«'S of the ADVKKTrsEU will 1m; continued during the coming 
 yeai-, and, as i« the past, our b«?st attention will l)e given to present our rewlers with 
 a iii-st-class uewspajK>r, containing all the latest and most I'cliabh; news,^ Canadian 
 anil Foreign, spicv editorials, and a fund of entertaining and instructive reading 
 matter, suitable for all jwrtions of the family. This is the great secret of the 
 unparalleled success of this journal - we publish a piiper which intei-ests young and 
 old. Notwithstanding the large circulation we have already attained, we fully 
 exp(tct to add several thousand new names during the [>res<tnt cam|)aign, and, with 
 the help of our friends, we feel confident of this insult, vv ■ •" ■ ' ' ' .' i^.

TO AGENTS. 
 
 Wi' want energetic agents in all sections of this Province. No instructions 
 other tluvn contained in this circular are neetleil. There is no trouble in raising 
 clubs for this paper where it is known, and in new sections agents can easily secure 
 large clubs by a little exertion. 
 
 WE GIVE THE BALANCE OF THIS YEAR C.HATIS TO ALL NEW 
 SUliSCRIBERS. This gives canvassers a splendid chance, as even those now 
 taking other jtapers will subscribe to the ADVKlirisEU upon having this explained to 
 them. 
 
 aa^ Don't negletrt to call upon any one because he has different political 
 opinions from this journal. We have thousands of Conservative readers, who, 
 besides wishing to see both .sides of the <|uesti<)ii, admire the linn moral t(»ne anil 
 diversity of attractions which have made the Advkutiski! noted. 
 
 Frek Until New Ykak's. — We wish it distinctly understood that we give 
 the balance of this year gratis to new subsirribers only. Alta-ely changing the address 
 from one member of a family jlo another don't constitute a new mhacriher. 
 
 Old Si'itscuinKKs. — Two old names count ecpial to one new one on the 
 premium list. Old sub.scril»ers need only to l)e asked ; they all want to iH'new. 
 Wherever the Advkktiseu becomes known it is populai-. ,+ , . 
 
 FORMING CLUBS. 
 
 .•<s»'' 
 
 ■'f.'it /-i 
 
 No instructions are reiiuired. Get a copj' of the Advkktisku and commence 
 work. Clubs may be made up from as many post ottices as you wish. Forward 
 names with the cash not later than Tuesdays, and the i»ai)er will be nuailed thi- .same 
 week. We will give you credit for all names sent, and premiums will l»e forwarded 
 when ropured. Write names very distinctly. Let each name and address occupy 
 one line. Be very .careful to spell names corn-ctly and be sure of the T. O. address. 
 We don't want to know a man's townslajt «tr county (if he lives in Canada) — merely 
 his 2»ost office. • r.-."'' 
 
 jO" Always register letters, they will then be at om- 'isk. 
 
 Sami'LE C(»pie!<. — We will send sample copies anl circulars to all who may 
 send for them. 
 
 Premiums Sent Fuee. — All our premiums will be sent to iigents free of 
 (charge — the smaller ones by mail, and the larger articles to the nearest express office. 
 
 Balance of Yeau Fkke. — The subscription still remains at the old price — 
 One Dollar per annum and the balance of i>rcsent year free to new subscribers, 
 whether sent singly or in clubs. 
 
 Is Advance ^inlv — We give no credit, and jtR-fer tliat our agents should 
 not do so either. ,..:■-.. 
 
 PREMIUMS. 
 
 We refer agents to our list of premiums on the opix)site page. To those who 
 prefer receiving theit reraunemtipn in cash, we will allow 25 per cent^ premium 
 on all n«w names, and 12^ \)mv cent, on old nanu's.

 ABOUT OUR PREMIUMS. 
 
 -^ 
 
 • ' Wf wish it to h(( undei'stomi that nil our pivniiunis are fully. worth the valuo 
 HtatKil. Hy buying wholesale ami iimkiii;^ favorable purchasos, we are cnablml to 
 oflVr a much \a,v^vx jMir «',oiita^(( in promiuniH than we can in cash. To those preferring 
 cash We allow 25 per cent, (on new numes), and this is very liberal, considi^ing the 
 low pri(!»! <»f our }MHMfr, and the tunisopient ease with which clubs are rais<Hl. 
 
 Skwix<» Ma('IIINK8 — Wc have again made aiTangenients with the celebrated 
 (iueiph Sewing Mmdiine V-o. to otter their excellent Machines at the same tigure as 
 last year. Of the larg(^ number sent out during last season's campaign, every one has 
 given the utmost satisfaction. Kvery Machine is warranted and the outfit comjirises 
 all the latest improvements. We nin heartily recommend this premium to agents. 
 
 NicKKLiTK SiLVKit. -No premium ever gavtf better satisfaction than our 
 Nickelite Silver goods. We have hundreds of testimonials showing the appreciation 
 in which these articles are l:eld. They wear like solid silver, btdng one metal all the 
 way through. 
 
 CuTLEisv. -Our Dinner and DesstMt Knives are all of the best quality and 
 tinish, and selected with great (;are. 
 
 Pocket Knivks. — These ariides are of the tiihst "quality in material and 
 tinish, and no doubt will be populnr premiums. , ;. 
 
 PnoTooHArHs. — Owing to many agents not Ixiing supplied with those tine 
 Photographs, in oval fra-nes, of Brown, Blake Jt McKen/ie, we have, again entered 
 them in our list, and can send them innnitdiately on rectdving order. 
 
 t'LO«'K.s. — We have also made arrangements for a large supply of Family 
 (.'locks, at remarkably low prices. For instance, we can send a clottk (which will be 
 warranted by a city Jeweller) for a club of turrr namks ! larger and letter 
 finished ones for six and eight names. 
 
 V»o\,x> Pens. — Both Fairchild's and Wilson's Gold Pens are well known, and 
 require no prais<? from us. Both tinns have re])utations to lose, and are careful to 
 issue none but flrst-eltiss goods. 
 
 Ladieh' Thimbles — Little girls now is your opjwrtunity ! An agate-headed 
 Silver Thimble will last a life time. Only three names to secure one ! 
 
 Books.— We allow agents to select pei-sonally fronj the large stock of Messrs. 
 K. A. Taylor & Co., London ; or w(! will fonvard any book ordered, as soon as it can 
 ))(! procured, if not in stock. The Sun«lay School Libraries are standing collections, 
 carefully selected, and in use in many schools at the present time. 
 
 The Be.st Piiemium.— We will send the Western Advertiser one year 
 (balance of this year free) to any one sending us three Iwna fide new names, and the 
 cash, $3. J i'^..ir:-v ■ '•.*..; ^•-,^'^ i>'^-; ''^'f"'* ,■"-.' ' ■"
