YOURS FOR ONLY $2 –
The Best in Reading Pleasure
for the next Twelve Months!
Dear Reader:
An ancient Persian poet said: “If thou hast two pennies, spend one for bread. With the other, buy hyacinths for thy soul.”
Poetry, perhaps; but hard sense as well!
To buy “hyacinths” for the soul – to nourish your mind and heart with good reading: to become informed, alert, interesting in what you say to others – is just as important as progress in your business or social life.
And it needn’t be a task! One compact little magazine – 12 times a year – will stave off mental stagnation, give you something worthwhile to think about and talk about, keep you from being bored – and boring! That magazine is The Reader’s Digest.
So here (with our compliments) are two pennies for you. We invite you to keep one as your change – and with the other penny, seal the bargain for the finest “hyacinths” you can find anywhere – the next 12 issues of The Reader’s Digest!
Just slip one penny into the pocket in the enclosed card, and mail today. We’ll send you the next twelve issues of the Digest – worth $4.00 – but we’ll send you a statement for only $2.01. Thus you get twelve issues for the price of six – and you get your change in advance!
This invitation cannot be extended again for at least two years. Therefore we urge you to act at once. Only by taking advantage of this opportunity now can you receive the next TWELVE issues of Reader’s Digest for TWO DOLLARS.
Sincerely,
[Unreadable Sign]
