SPECIAL NOTICE TO BOOK BUYERS
My attention has been called to statements made
through the public journals, by New York Gift
Sto e, which calculated to deceive: who even
presume to advertise themselves as the originators
of the Gift Book Enterprise. which was first sue
ceSsfully established, and | may say honarably
conducted by myself. This concern. who are nro-
claiming themselves, THE Oldest in the business -
are indebted TO me- not only for their first ideas of
conducting the business but for stock to commence
with, and place to commence in. Their state
ment, that this is The fifth year of their location
in New York, is also false.
1t has been thought, account of the name
connected with this New York Gift Store. that it
was branch of my Original Enterprise: but it is
not so. and L wish it distinctly Understood that L
am not IN any way responsible for their deceptive
advertisements nor for the manner in which New
YORK Glft concerns are conducted And holding
the position L do, the Originator of the Gift
Book Enterprise in the United States-having es-
tablshed it and brought it to its present high pO-
sition. by constant labor, unweared application.
and large expenditure of money deem it my du-
ty to the public and myself To expose these ore
tended Soriginators," who are attempting TO i'm
pose upon the people. L would here publicly state
that these parties have been referring, without
authority or permission, to the largest and most
widely known publishing house in the U nited
States. am in ormed by this firm, which is To-
Gated in this city, that not only have they never
given permission to this New York Gift Store to
