Publisher’s Note

Very few of our readers have any idea of the task that the growing popularity of the S. & S. novel imposes upon us.

We don’t refer to the mere manual labor of manufacturing, but to the vast expenditure of time, money and energy necessary to keep the quality of our lines up to the high standard that we have educated our readers to demand.

In order that the S. & S. novel may continue to be all that we claim for it, we have invaded cloth-book fields and have made arrangements with several well-known publishers to print exclusive editions of books by famous authors—books about whose great merit there is not a single doubt.

The S. & S. novel has prospered mightily and for that reason we can well afford to give our readers that literature that is acceptable to every man and woman who seeks mental relaxation after a hard day’s work at the office, store or factory.

The S. & S. novels are great popular educators, reaching, as they do, every city and hamlet in this vast country of ours, instilling a desire to read in thousands of persons who would have cared nothing for literature if they had not become aware of the wholesome, unalloyed pleasure that the S. & S. novels afford.

Please send for our complete catalogue showing the S. & S. 2700.

“ALGER”

What a pleasant sound the name of Horatio Alger, Jr., has to boys who read clean, wholesome stories of adventure!

His name on a book means that it is a “good one”; that the money invested in it is well invested.

Street & Smith publish the most complete list of his works in their famous S. & S. novels—it contains nearly all of them.

If you want your boys to read helpful books, buy the “Algers” in the Medal and New Medal Libraries.
