10, 1851, and we are now delivering
the same in the various styles of

reprint, in large type, of the last
(1SS0) London edition of Chambers
Encyclopedia, with copious addi-
tioEs (about 10000 topics) by Amer
lean editors, the whole combined
under one alphabetical arrangement,
with such illustrations as are neces-
sary to elucidate the text. 1t gives
an amount of matter about 10 per
cent. more than Appleton's Cyclic
p@dia (priee, in cloth, $4,000, and
20 per cent. more than Johnson's

Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1881-08-20

These electrotype plates which we
have manufactured will readily print
100, 900 copies, and then by slight re-
pairing will print from SO, 900 to 100
coo additional copies, but to make
our estimate absolutely safe we will
assume that it will be necessary to
manufacture a new set of electro
type plates after 10000 copies have
been printed. Thus we must add to
the above cost of manufacture Of
one set of the books $3.50, an addi-
tional 81 as the proportionate cost
of the plates for each set of 10 vol
umes. A further item must also be
added to cover expenses of office,
handling, shipping, etc., which ex-
periencS leads us to estimate below
so cts. per set, but as we must do
at least safe business we will add,
instead, for this item another ST.,
making the total cost of manufac-
ture and handling the 10 octave
volumes of the Library OF Unlyer-
sal knowledge $7.96.
Thus you see that if we sell copy
of this great Encyclopedias even at
the net price of $40, we still have
net profit of over 81. AS we have
already sold about. Ia, 900 sets in ad-
vance of completion, we think it
very safe to estimate land we have
heard of neither friend nor enemy
who make an estimate lower that
we shall sell, as fast as we can man
ufacture them, at least 100 900 sets,
and allowing our figures above CIV
en- to be correct, we have the COM
Portable sum of 100000 to cover
contingencies, and dividends to our
stockholders.
AS some of our friends may ques-
ton whether our estimates above
given are perfectly safe; and as we
have heard of some instances where
the accuracy of figures previously
given by us has been disputed by our
enemies, we will say that the cost Of
the paper is put at cents per
pound, the cost of press work at ST.
20 per thousand impressions, and
the cost OF binding at 164 cents per
volume.
THE PRACTICAL POINT.
We now come to the practical
point in which you are interested
how you may get the books you
want at the lowest possible cost.
It is evident that it can only be
done by your doing away, so far as
you are concerned, with our i'm
mense expenditure for advertising,
and with the commissions which we
or you are compelled to pay the mid
dleman, if you buy through the mid
dlemen.
Another extremely important
point in enabling us to afford the
lowest possible price is that we re-
ceiye quick returns for the invest
ments we have made.
You readily see that we have in
vested about 100000, cash, before
we are able to offer you a complete
set of the Library of Universal
knowledge at any price. We must
sell great many thousand sets be-
fore we can even get back the money

from us the unnecessary expenses of

ed, the books would have cost them
only $568, 642.39, being almost SO per
cent less that the SSS6, 901 S5 which
they have paid for them, and our
net proceeds would have been none
the less.
A BETTER ILLUSTRATIONS.
The above figures show clearly
the possibility of great reduction
from our prices heretofore given
without diminishing our net in
come, but they do not necessarily
show that it is possible for US to
manufacture and sell books at such
prices without loss to us. AS we
have never made pretense of pub
fishing books from charitable and
philanthropic motives, and do not
wish our friends to think we are do
ing business at a loss, we will give a
conclusive and interesting illustra-
tion of how we can afford these low
prices.
LIBRARY. OF UNIVERSAL KNOWL-
EDGE.
After labor of nearly two years
by an able corps of American editors
and writer's, for whose services we
have paid nearly 100000, we have
within the brief period Of less than
ten months made electrotype plates
for the Library of Universal Knowl-
edge at a further cost of nearly $780,
600, making a total investmtnt on
this work of about 100000. This

The Harrisburg Telegraph Of the 23rd
inst, relates the following uncommon oc-
currence Fourth street was in ferment of
excitement yesterday afternoon, or rather
that portion between Market and Walnut
streets. The cause of this racket, as learned
from pretty good authority, reads about
thus Some time ago State street tin
smith did some work for a Fourth street
gentleman, and was requested to cell on the
following Saturday and receive his pay. He
wanted the money sooner, however, and he
called for it on Tuesday and Wednesday,
and again on Thursday and anon on Friday,
each time being told to come on Saturday.
He didn't call for it on Saturday, but waited
for some time, when he went for the money
again, and again was he put off. He then
grew importuDate in his demands ard on
every and all occasions whereat he had an
opportunity-public or private-he produc-
ed the bill and asked its payment. Yester-
day morning the timer sent his little son to
the gentleman's Office with the bill, and he
was told to call to-day and it would be paid.
The lad left, but soon after returned with
the bill pinned fast to his coat front so that
every body could read it. He passed through
several apartments Of the Office in which
the debtor is employed and was finally fired
out as an interloper. Shortly afterwards
the youth was observed parading up and
down the vicinity of the Office attired in his
fathers high plug hat and carrying the pa
rental cane. On the plug "dicer" was
placard which informed a wondering public
that the boy was collector of bad debts
and below was given the name of the debtor,
to which was affixed the initials of the
youthful collectors older brother. He pa
raded until he got tired and then took up
position opposite the office, and every time
the gentleman made his appearance the
youth pointedly and persistently propound-
ed the conundrum: When are you going
to pay that bill :" Some things grow mo-
totonous, and this was the shape things
took in this case The gentleman sought
Alderman Jackson's Office and brought suit
for libel, and the tinsmith was arrested.
The case was set down for this afternoon at
four O'Clock. Judge Pearson has often held
that exposing man to contempt or ridiculs
of the community in which he lives is libel,
and it is on this that the suit is based.
