A SAFE INVESTMENT
It is a peculiarity about readers of
that wonderful faun and family jour-
nal, The Family Herald and Weekly
Star of Montreal, that they do not
look upon the $2.00 subscription as an
expense, but as a safe investment
which yields thein huge dividends, each
year. They will tell you, and we do
not doublit it, that each issue contains
money -saving and Ina/ley-making ideas
which would pay the subscription
price over and over. Considering the
value and,
remarkable qualities;' of
that great national journal, it should
e,_ art I.t ed to fii,A a single.
home where it is not known and read
regularly.
And now, heaped •upon the ._phen-
omenal value already contained in the
journal itself, the publishers of the
Family Herald and Weekly Star are
giving free to each new subscriber
who remits in time, and to present
subscribers who .renew their subscrip-
tion for another year, a most beauti-
ful picture entitled "The Wonderful
Heroine," The reproduction of the
original masterpiece in colors has been
done to _perfection. In size the pic-
ture is 18x24 inches, on rich, heavy
paper.
The life story of the Wonderful
Heroine has been printed in booklet
form and a copy earl be obtained cost
