PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED 



Dawson Black. Ketail Merchant — 

 By Harold Whiteheail, author of "The 

 Busines.s Career of Peter Flint." This 

 book, just out, is one of the most 

 widely useful publications ever issued 

 by The Page Company, Boston. It 

 presents the fundamental principles 

 of modern retail merchandizing in a 

 most convincing and logical manner, 

 and if every young man would care- 

 fully read this book Starting in a busi- 

 ness career on his own account and 

 live up to its counsel, the disappoint- 

 ments and failures on every side 

 would be reduced to a minimum. 

 HnRTicfT.TURE heartily accords with 

 the advice in the chapter on Advertis- 

 ing which says that "A man can afford 

 to stop advertising when he can afford 

 to be forgotten.'' Dawson Black was 

 human; he made mistakes, "even as 

 you and I." But he bad the requisite 

 ambition and determination and over- 

 came the obstacles that confron'ed 

 him. The problems he solved are 

 those that must be solved by the aver- 

 age business man, big or little. Daw- 

 son Black was not a business machine, 

 but a genuine, lovable young chap, 

 and the account of his mistakes and 

 successes is inspiring, ap^rt from the 

 sound business lessons inculculated.

The Page Company are accustomed 

 to send out a galaxy of interesting 

 books of fiction or travel each year as 

 the vacation season comes around. 

 One of the best of this season's list is 

 "The Boy Scouts of Kendallville" by 

 Brewer Corcoran. The title indicates 

 its character. It is inspiring and is 

 issued with the approval of The Boy 

 Scouts of America. It is the story of 

 a bright young factory worker who 

 cannot enlist, because he has three de- 

 pendents, but his knowledge of wood- 

 craft and wig-wagging gained through 

 scout practice enables him to foil a 

 German plot to blow up the munitions 

 factory. The story is full of patriotic 

 manly enthusiasm well seasoned with 

 adventures stirring and tragic. The 

 boys will like it. 270 pages, illustrated; 

 price $1.50 net. 



Another book by the same publish- 

 ing house is "The Mt. Blossom Girls" 

 by Isla May Mullins. This is the 

 fourth and last in the "Blossom Shop" 

 series of stories, in which the char- 

 acters have already won coimtless 

 friends. It is a book of high ideals. 

 The romance is laid in a "settlement" 

 enterprise in an Alabama mountain 

 iron works community and ends hap- 

 pily with the ringing of wedd-'ng bells. 

 A very acceptable vacation book for 

 the girls. 338 pages, illustrated; 

 price $1 ..')0 net.
