Teacher, to Visitor: "Xow, there's an
industrious boy in the corner seat. James,
you may put your example on the black
board."
James chalks the above figures on the
board, and explains the peculiar result as
follows:
"The folks over to the CITIZEN - office
said if I'd give 'em $3.00 they'd send me
the value of $1.50 plus $2.40, an' dad an' I
decided to do it."
James was a wise boy, He learned that
$3.00 was the clubbing price at which he
could get the CITIZEN for the family and
"Wide Awake" for himself and the girls;
both for a whole year. Our readers should
know that "Wide Awake" is the famous
Boston magazine for young people (100
pages every month) and costs $2.40 alone.
But with our usual enterprise we have
arranged to offer that magazine and the
CITIZEN for a while, for $3.00. The CITIZEN
will take care of all orders, and show any
one the magazine.
