But we want more! We want everyone who might like The Little Review to hear about it. Therefore:
We want interested readers to be interested to the point of bringing in others. We want intelligent spokesmen in every city in the country to tell people about the magazine and to get their subscriptions. Anyone sending in three yearly subscriptions will be given a year’s subscription free. Or he may make a commission of 33 1-3 per cent on every subscription he gets. College girls ought to find the field a very workable one during their summer vacations. Every ten subscriptions will mean $5.00 to the energetic young woman who pursues her friends with accounts of The Little Review’s value and charm.
We are trying to make a magazine that is unacademic, enthusiastic, appreciative and critical in the real sense; that seeks and emphasizes the beauty which is truth and insists upon a larger naturalness and a nobler seriousness in art and in life. We know there is room for such a magazine and we ask you to help us in advertising it.
