I have repeatedly called the attention of the public to ■ my large stock and liberal oTTcrs, to which they have always warmly responded. I can now, with more : satisfaction than ever, call attention to my largely I increased inducements to purchasers. Being very heavily engaged -in publishing, I exchange my own publications for these of other publishers, and am enabled to procure alt my books at the original cost of • making, and thus can supply the majority of the othI er houses engagedin the book trade, with their books cheaper than they can procure them from the publishers. I can also, by my heavy purchases of watch■cs and jewelry, furnish dealers at lower rates than they.can buy them ftom the manufacturers, I Having such an advantage in buying, I can assure i to my customers better gifts with their books than any other house, and can give to my agents a larger , commission.
