THE THIRTY-SECOND VOLUME OF
THE
American Missionary,
ENLARGED AND IMPROVED.
SUBSCRIPTION DEPARTMENT.
Besides giving news from the Institutions and Churches aided by the Association among the Freedmen in the South, the Indian tribes, the Chinese on the Pacific Coast, and the Negroes in Western Africa, it will be the vehicle of important views on all matters affecting the races among which it labors, and will give a monthly summary of current events relating to their welfare and progress.
We publish 25,000 copies per month, and shall be glad to increase the number indefinitely, knowing from experience that to be informed of our work is to sympathize with, and desire to aid it.
The Subscription Price will be, as formerly, Fifty Cents a Year, in Advance. We also offer to send One Hundred copies to one address, for distribution in Churches or to clubs of subscribers, for $30., with the added privilege of a Life Membership to such person as shall be designated.The Magazine will be sent gratuitously, if preferred, to the persons indicated on Page 92.Donations and subscriptions should be sent to
H.W.HUBBARD, Ass’t Treas.,
56 READE STREET, NEW YORK.
ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT.
A limited space in our Magazine is devoted to Advertisements, for which our low rates and large circulation make its pages specially valuable.Our readers are among the best in the country, having an established character for integrity and thrift that constitute them valued customers in all departments of business.
To Advertisers using display type and Cuts, who are accustomed to the “RULES” of the best Newspapers, requiring “DOUBLE RATES” for these “LUXURIES,” our wide pages, fine paper, and superior printing, with no extra charge for cuts, are advantages readily appreciated, and which add greatly to the appearance and effect of business announcements.
We are, thus far, gratified with the success of this department, and solicit orders from all who have unexceptionable wares to advertise.
Advertisements must be received by the TENTH of the month, in order to secure insertion in the following number. All communications in relation to advertising should be addressed to
J.H.DENISON, Adv’g Agent,
56 READE STREET, NEW YORK.
Transcriber’s Notes:
Punctuation and spelling were changed only where the error appears to be a printing error.The punctuation changes are too numerous to list; the others are as follows:
The original text at the bottom of page 115 was unreadable, and extended to read “...soldiers?”, as that was the logical conclusion of the sentence.
“T Life Members” changed to “To Life Members” on page 126.
What appears to be “5 Rue Serebe, Paris” on page 128 was changed to “5 Rue Scribe, Paris”, as that is the correct address for The Demorest.
