respondent Of an exchange paper says:
One Of the features Of our Chicago Book
Trade, is the great Gift book Store Of Messrs.
J. 4. Colby & Co, No. lis Randolph street,
Chicago. which lius, since its establishment
some years ago, been constantly ON the increase,
and now gives employment to large force Of
clerks and assistants in the various departments
Of selling, mailing aud shipping. Other GIFT
ENTERPRISES, so callcd, have come and gone, OIL
der book concerns uf the usual class have pass.
ed out Of existence before the pressure OF the
times, but Mr. Colby seems as busy and success
full Us ever. Just nov hts windows, show cases
and shelves glitter and CLEAN with supurb "a
rie ; Of Holiday Books. The old standard
authors hare come out bravely in gold aud fine
morocco to meet the demands Of the Gift season,
which however with this house lasts the whole
year round.
There is not in Chicago to-day richer dis
play thnn Mt Colby's, where the old poets, the
novclists and drAulatis1s are in holiday attire,
waiting to elicit the smiles they arc literally
HOUND to win when the giyer By their aid asks
remembrance. Let any one send for one of Mr.
CoIby's handsome catalogues, which arc mailed
free to amy address, and sec how aud what his
promises and prices are, rs they are therein nll
set forth. He has such facilities that be can fill
any order for books rs caeaply as can be done
at New York.
Giftt2" If s1r. Colby sells his books for no
more than his neighbors, how can he give the
purchaser his chance to draw any one Of The
rich and beautiful articles of i.welry that form
the contents of one Of his elegant show cases,
a prominent ornament Of his store?
just here is tho reason, and / confess it is
satisfactory to me. Hc buys books at the East
for EEApY CASH, and could undersell his neigh

fers Ia extend bis trade aud double bis sales by
dividing this advantage with the book purchas-

at this jewelry. and almost da,1y Mr. Colby re.
ceives acknowledgements Of watches and valua-
bic gifts thet are sent by mail aud express to all
parts Of the country.
Now. what can bc faircr tsan this? Let Us
say you buy dollar volume. It is the same
price you would pay elsewhere. No matter
what il cost Mr. Colby. He is content to share
the thus paGMs M s 7aae from tsy n CENTS sao to
one hundred dollars will be given With every
book ut The time Of purchase. This is the key
to Mr. Colby's success. This it is that fills his
store with customers daily, throughout dull
season. Has not his establishment and its at
fractions special claim for the Holidays? 1t
would seem SO.
