BOOK AGENTS, f
before commencing their travels with
books sold on commission, are fur
nished with printed description of the
book for which they canvass, This
description they are required to mem
origa. By little practice they can rat
tile it off so fast, that no one upon
whom an agent calls has chance to
Irchip i'm and refuse the proffered work
till the description has been given, and
name put down for volume, unless
1.-THE party knows the tricks oil the call
ing, and sternly refuses to listen. Books
sold by subscription, with rare ezcep-
tons, mean that the purchaser must
pay full price to the publishers that
produce them, and from fifty to seven
ty-dve per cent. profit to the canvasser.
Niue-tenths of these books are com
piled from other works that are pub
Iished, and sold ia the re ular trade
The same amount of means invested
in books that sell on their merits with
out the aid of canvassers would pro-
cure many more, aud give to the buyer
much greater satisfaction. Learn to
saw no to a book agent and save
money. Never buy book till you de-
sire to read it, and then have a reason
for reading it, before making the pur-
chase. The poorest collection of books
to be seen in the homes of this country
is that which has been furnished by
canvassers. The best is that which has
been carefully selected with some end
in vieg-some reason for reading each

This merchandise is appropriately
