It’s a Business Proposition
And a Good One to Enter Into as You
Have All to Gain and Nothing to Lose
COULD YOU ASK FOR ANYTHING BETTER?
This is the Opportunity of a Life Time
Owing to the fact that nearly all of the schools and colleges have closed for the summer, and so many of them seem to
feel they haven't a fair chance, we are going to hold that part of the proposition over until fall, but the co-operative part of the
contest will go on just the same, that is if you send in enough subscriptions to win one of the valuable prizes outlined below, we
will be only too glad to give you an order for the prize at once.
Remember, this is not a chance proposition, but one where you have only to secure a certain number of subscriptions in
order to win. So you see you are not taking any chances whatsoever. If you have not entered the contest be sure and do so
right away, for it is FREE and this is the one best thing now on the boards; and if you let this slip by you will be the looser,
for you have all to gain and nothing to lose. There is no limit to the time that you may use to win one of the prizes, so
you see you will have plenty of time in which to work and secure the amount of subscriptions necessary to win any one of the
prizes.
HERE IS A PARTIAL LIST.
Prizes to be given according to the number of full $2.00 one year sub
scriptions you send in. If there is any thing you want and it is not in
cluded in this list, write us about it and we will see that you have an op

The Golden Age for June 16, 1910.
When The Golden Age decided to put on a contest the first thing the
management took into consideration was that a contest where some win
and others have no chance was decidedly unfair to all concerned for it
was practically a game of chance. The Golden Age has decided to run
■ the contest on a co-operative plan, whereby every one not only has the
same equal chance to win but the more subscriptions you send in the
I better prizes you will receive for the efforts you put forth.
PRICE OF GOLDEN AGE.
Price.
One year subscriptions to Golden Age $ 2.00
Two year subscriptions to Golden Age 4.00
Three year subscriptions to Golden Age 6.00
Four year subscriptions to Golden Age 8.00
Five year subscriptions to Golden Age 10.00
Ten year subscriptions to Golden Age... 20.00
>
Ministers’ rate is $1.50 per year but these subscriptions count only in
proportion to the regular rate.
We know that a great many of our friends are wondering how we
can offer such excellent prizes when it is possible that we may not get
enough out of the contest to pay for them. Every magazine of practically
any standing either offers premiums or does something of this kind to in
crease their circulation. The more circulation you have the greater ad
vertising you will carry. Consequently, we want every single subscrip
tion possible.
