THIS present season of publishing endeavor, Fall, 1913, marks a new 

 step for DOUBLEDAY, PAGE & COMPANY in their effort to realize 

 the ideal of "Fewer and Better Books." The number of volumes scheduled 

 for this Fall is less by six than the corresponding list last year. Needless 

 to say, the standard of merit must rise with such elimination and readers 

 may depend on it that when a book is published by DOUBLEDAY, PAGE & 

 COMPANY, there is a real reason for its existence. 



STEWART EDWARD WHITE 

 Gold 



It's the epic of '49 — that time when the whole country went 

 mad, when the book-keeper left his stool, the young farmer his plow, 

 to go, he knew but vaguely where, to make a fortune. Stewart 

 Edward White draws you fascinated along with his little company 

 of four who set out from New York for Panama, and thence to fortune, 

 as they fondly hoped. A stirring romance of one of the most inter- 

 esting times in our history. Illustrated. Net $1.35. Ready Oct. 4th.

 stock's earlier story, of which over 80,000 copies have already been 

 sold. Illustrated. Net $1.25. Ready October 23rd.

The Best Stories in the World
