  EXCELLENT BOOKS OF GENEROUS LENGTH

One of the best features about these booksis that they are all of the highest moral tone, containing nothing thatcould be objectionable to the most particular parents. Next inimportance, comes interest, with which every one of these books fairlyteems. No more vigorous or better literature for boys has ever beenpublished. New titles by high-priced authors are constantly being added,making it more and more impossible for any publisher to imitate thisline.

  LOOK FOR THE S. & S. IMPRINT

  For fifteen years the S. & S. Novel has held first place in theestimation of readers who want, first of all, good, clean, interestingfiction and _then_ a sufficient number of "_words_" to make them feelthat the book is worth what they paid for it--if not more.

  Mere "_words_" do not make a story, nor should a colored cover and heavypaper deceive the reading public into thinking that an imitation of theS. & S. Novel is as good as the original.

  Unscrupulous publishers are now trying to defraud the reading public.Taking certain of the S. & S. Novels, which are not protected bycopyright, they change the titles and authors' names, and sell books atfifteen cents, the authentic editions of which may be had in the S. & S.Edition for ten cents! Hence, a word of caution to our readers:

  _LOOK FOR THE S. & S. IMPRINT_

  It is a guarantee of quality and protects you
