SOME MORE SPECIAL OFFERS ON BOOKS. 



story of the Bible. This is a large nice new 



^^ book of TOO pages and 274 illus- 



^^^jS>^y0CJ t^k t rations. It is so plainly and 

 ^4 JV " , \ pleasantly written that grown 

 ov > people, as well as children, 



^Vt^V'ttV'V: \^ will hardly want to lay it 

 down. In the hard pas- 

 sages in the Bible, difficult 

 to understand, it makes a 

 commentary that will be 

 thankfully received by 

 some others besides children. For 3 new subscrip- 

 tions at *1.(X) each, and 15c to pay postage, the above 

 book will be sent free. 

 How to Keep Store. A nice new book of 406 

 pages. If I mistake not, there are 

 not a few among our readers who 

 will be delighted to get such a 

 book. It embodies the conclusions 

 of Thirty Years' Experience in 

 Merchandising. Eigth edition 

 printed in 1884. Any one who sells 

 goods at retail will find it a boon. 

 This book will be sent free for four 

 new subscriptions at f I.On each and 

 10c extra to pay postage. 



FABLES AND ALLEOOEIES. The most beautiful piece 

 of work in the way of a book that I have ever sold, 

 and I do not know but it is the handsomest book 1 

 ever saw. It is a large-sized book of 51:' pages, full 

 of engravings of surpassing beauty. The paper 

 and printing are probably equal to any thing in the 

 way of a book now in the market. Our readers mny 

 ask, " What are the fables and allegories about?" 

 Well, they are about you and me. As an illustra- 

 tion, in the center of the book you will find the fa- 

 ble of the lantern people which I gave on p. 34.5, 

 May 15, 1885. I copied the story, but I did not have 

 the wonderful pictures that the author has in this 



book. The book is written by the author of the 

 Story of the Bible. There is but one fault to find 

 with it; that is, it costs $2.00. However, if any of 

 you want a book worth #2.00, every cent of it, you 

 will find it in this book of fables and allegories. It 

 will make you cry, if you don't lookout; and the 

 chances are very great that you will be better after 

 you have cried. I never saw any thing in my life 

 nicer for a Christmas present; or if you want a 

 beautiful book to put on the center-table of your 

 best room, you can not find a handsomer one for the 

 money. Perhaps I am saying a good deal; but if 

 you do not agree with me after you have seen the 

 book, you can send it back and have your money 

 returned. They are so large and heavy that the 

 postage on them is .32c extra. We can sell two 

 books for .?1.~5 each; three for fl.65 each; five or 

 more, $1.60 each. The above book will be sent free 

 to the person sending 6 new subscriptions to

 tage, if sent by mail.
