Flats Harm Book Trade.

"Flats and apartments damage my
business dreadfully." said publisher
"The minute family gives up its
house and takes to a fiat that same
minute it stops buying books. In the
first place, fat jewellers are cramped
for room. Having little enough space
for their furniture. let alone for books.
they naturally buy no books. In the
second place. fiat jewellers are nomads:
they move often. and your nornad hes
itates to buy a book because he knows
it will be nuisance to pack at the
next moving.
I've are all taking to flats and apart
ments, housekeeping !, in them Is SO
much easier and pleasanter. we are
all freeing ourselves of needless things
In order to have more space In our
cramped quarters. Books. We free our.
selves of first. taking I'm their place d
subscription to public library
Indeed. thanks to the fat. private
libraries In the future will be as ram
as private theaters or private chap
lains."-New York Press.
