SPECIAL NOTICE 
Space will not permit us at this time 
to enumerate all the books we can furnish, 
or even to speak of the merits of any of 
them ; and hence we make the following

their own selections. 
Our books are furnished us by the old

our subscribers and agents can send for 
a catalogue, which will be furnished free

list may be chosen and ordered 
from us at the list price, by 
counting every subscriber 50 
cts. on the price of the book 
ordered. For instance ; if you

2- your credit, it will entitle you to 
^ $10 worth of books. The post¬ 
age is extra in all cases, and 
must be forwarded with the 
order.

friends to make their selection
