books through the middlemen (who
must be paid for their services) in
stead of from us direct; and lis a
large expenditure for advertising will
also continue to be necessary in find
ing out new customers, we must con-
tinue to hold to our present retail
prices, in order that we may meet
these enormous expenses for adver-
Using and for commissions to mid
dlemen.
But because we are thus compelled
to tax book buyers generally with
these heavy expenses, there is no oc-
casion why we should continue this
heavy tax upon you Individually if
you choose to unite with us in avoid
ing it.

ABOUT OUR OTHER PUBLICATIONS.

laneous publications is now compare
lively limited, and as our entire man.
ufacturing resources will in all prob
ability be for months to come taxed
to the utmost by the manufacture of
the Library of Universal knowledge
alone, we cannot undertake to make
an offer similar to the above upon the
books covered by our miscellaneous
list, except to the extent of our stock
in hand. Until our supply is ex-
hausted we will accept in connection
with an order for the Cyclopedia,

of our miscellaneous books at the
same rate of discount Zone third)
from our list prices, but in all cases
we shall require that orders for mis-
cellaneous books under these terms
shall be accompanied by the cash,
as these books can be delivered at
once, and cash orders will certainly
soon exhaust our supply.
Any remittance received for mis-
cellaneous books,t the supply of which
may have by that time been exhaust
ed, will either be returned promptly, |
