SINCE I originated the Gift Book Enterprise.
- have repeatedly called tho attention of the
public to my large stock aud liberal offers to which
they have always warmly responded. | can now,
with more satisfaction than ever, call attention to
my largely increased inducements to purchasers.
Being very heavily engaged in publishing. | eX-
change my own publications for those Of other
houses, and am enabled to produce ALL my books
at the original cost of making, and thus CAN and
DO supply the majority of the other houses engaged
in the Gift Book trade, with their books, cheaper
than THEY can procure them from other publishers.
| can also. by my heavy purchases of Watches and
Jcwelry, for cash furnish them with their Gifts at
lower rates than they tan buy them from the
manufacturers.
Having such an advantage in buying, I can
il sure my cusOIaers better Gifts with their Books
than any other house and can give my Agents IA
larger commission. A valuable Gift will be de-
livered with each Book at the time of sale Gifts
worth $500, at the lowest wholesale prices will be
mfartially distributed with every 81, 900 worth Of
