You also know that not everybody who learns it makes use of it. This is perfectly simple, and equally true of any other language, and almost any Other study. We have sold thousands of books without the magazine, Amcrika Esperan- tisto. We have sold thousands of magazine subscriptions, with books. Careful comparison of results proves that proportionately TEN TIMES AS MANN' become real Esperantists if they take the magazine at first. It is all very simple—the magazine comes along twelve times in a year and reminds the subscriber to study, it presents additional INCENTIVES for him to perfect his knowledge of Esperanto. Yet, in the face of this overwhelming, preponderant ADVANTAGE which the magazine offers, there are many teachers and clubs which neglect to use it. gome say they must make the initial expense very light. Lighter than forty-five cents? That's the lowest clubbing price for the magazine and American Esperanto Book. Digitized by VjOOQlC These Cards Will Be Good at Any Time. Buy Five or More at .75 each.
