6 THE LEWIS LECTURES 



also explains our co-operative plan for supply- 

 ing books at cost. The publishing house which 

 issues this volume is not owned by any capi- 

 talist. It is owned by 1,900 socialist working 

 people, each of whom has subscribed ten dol- 

 lars to help publish more socialist books. No 

 dividends are paid ; the advantage to the stock- 

 holder is that instead of paying fifty cents for 

 a book like this one he pays twenty-five cents 

 if he calls at our office for it, or thirty cents if 

 it is mailed to him. More stockholders are 

 needed to provide the capital for publishing 

 more books, and readers of this book are urged 

 to co-operate with us to the extent of buying 

 a share at ten dollars. We do not care to sell 

 more than one share to one subscriber, but any 

 one having more than ten dollars to invest can 

 get four per cent interest on it and have the 

 money returned to him at any time on thirty 

 days' notice. These terms are better than are 

 offered by Chicago banks, and the lender has 

 the satisfaction of knowing that his money is 

 used for the interests of the working class and 

 not against them.
