TWO EASY WAYS

TO GET

“The Great Round World.”

* * * * *

=Send in your school-books—­the ones you are no longer using.= A great many boys and girls cannot buy new books, and are very glad to get the used copies at a lower price.  A list of prices that will be allowed is given in Number 4 of great Round world.

=Get two other subscribers.= We will send free, for one year, the great Round world to any boy or girl who will send in two other subscriptions, with the amount ($5.00).

=Subscription Price, per Year, $2.50.=

* * * * *

    As A
    =special inducement=

    for our subscribers to interest others in “The Great Round
    World,” we will give to each subscriber who sends us $2.50 to
    pay for a year’s subscription to a new name, a copy of

    =Rand, McNally & Co.=
      =1897 Atlas of the World.=

    =160 pages of colored maps from new plates, size 11 1/2 x 14
    inches, printed on special paper with marginal index, and well
    worth its regular price — — — — $2.50.=

Every one has some sort of an atlas, doubtless, but an old atlas is no better than an old directory; countries do not move away, as do people, but they do change and our knowledge of them increases, and this atlas, made in 1897 from =new= plates, is perfect and up to date and covers every point on

    =The Great Round World.=

Those not subscribers should secure the subscription of a friend and remit $5 to cover it and their own.  A copy of the atlas will be sent to either address.

It is said that the unfortunate Princess Charlotte of Belgium is to be taken over to Mexico, in the hope that a visit to the scenes of her former happiness may restore her reason.
