How to Be a Globe Agent
In every town with no Globe agent we seek a young man or boy to canvass the town and look after THE WEEKLY GLOBE. Where only two or three subscribers exist we desire a new Globe agent since the old one fails to send a larger club. Agents can solicit subscriptions without hindering regular work. Poster and sample copies free on application.
