GIFTS TO PURCHASERS OF BOOKS AT THE ORIGINAL AND THE ONLY GIFT BOOK ENTERPRISE, ESTABLISHED IN 1854. HEAD QUARTERS FOR THE UNITED STATES. AT THE PUBLISHING HOUSE OF G. G. EVANS, No. 439 Cheiitnut Street, PHILADELPHIA, PA. No Connection with N. Y. Gift Book Stores. (CARD.) SINCE I originated the Gift Book Enterprise, I have repeatedly called the attention of the public to my large stock and liberal offers, to which they have always warmly responded. I can now, with more satisfaction than ever, call attention to my largely increased inducements to purchasers. Being very heavily engaged in publishing, I exchange my own publications for those of other publishers, and am enabled to procure all my books at the original cost of making, and thus can supply the majority of the other houses engaged in the book trade, with their books cheaper than they can procure them from the publishers. I can also, by my heavy purchases of watches and jewelry, furnish dealers at lower rates than they can buy them from the manufacturers. Having such an advantage in buying, I can assure to my customers better gifts with their books than any other house, and can give to my agents a larger commission. A valuable gilt will be delivered with each book at the time of sale. Gifts worth $500, at the lowest wholesale prices, will be impartially distributed with every $1,000 worth of books sold. Send for a catalogue, containing a most valuable collection of standard productions in Literature, including Histories, Biographies, Geography, Travels, Adventures, the Arts and Sciences, with all the favorite works of Fiction and Romance, in every department of Literature, classified as described below, which will be mailed free to any address, and if you don’t wish to order books at present, preserve it as a valuable book for reference, as it contains a list of all the desirable books in print, and will cost you nothing. Particular attention is requested to the list of mv publications, which contains a large number of deservedly popular works, by various authors, aud among which are all of T. S.
