MAGAZINE 
DOUBLEDAY. PAGE & Co. NEW YORK. 
URING each month of this year the sales of our books have been greater than the. 
corresponding month a year ago, but a more important fact is that the year’s pub- 
lications have been more substantial and lasting in character; and, after all, it is 
the work which lasts that counts. 
We have had high hopes for the fall season of 1906 and we hope that the readers of 
our magazines will look over these tities with interest. 
Any of them will be sent on approval.
