In order that there may be no confusion, we desire to say that the books listed above will be issued, during the respective months, in New York City and vicinity. They may not reach the readers, at a distance, promptly, on account of delays in transportation.
THE EAGLE SERIES
OF POPULAR FICTION
Principally Copyrights Elegant Colored Covers
PRICE, TEN CENTS
(Trade supplied exclusively by the American News Company and its branches.)
While the books in the New Eagle Series are undoubtedly better value, being bigger books, the stories offered to the public in this line must not be underestimated. There are over four hundred copyrighted books by the famous authors, which cannot be had in any other line. No other publisher in the world has a line that contains so many different titles, nor can any publisher ever hope to secure books that will match those in the Eagle Series in quality.
This is the pioneer line of copyrighted ten cent novels, and that it has struck popular fancy just right is proven by the fact that for ten years it has been the first choice of American readers. The only reason that we can afford to give such excellent reading at ten cents per copy, is that our unlimited capital and great organization enable us to manufacture books more cheaply and to sell more of them without expensive advertising, than any other publisher.

THE MEDAL LIBRARY
contains stories by Horatio Alger, Jr., Oliver Optic, G. A. Henty, Frank H. Converse, James Otis and a hundred others who are just as famous. Take our word for it, a boy never bought better reading matter or had a more generous list to select from than what we are now offering to you at ten cents per copy in the MEDAL LIBRARY.

The Only Book Line Devoted to Buffalo Bill’s Adventures
THE FAR WEST LIBRARY
¶ The days are past when it was unsafe for a man to go alone beyond the Mississippi River, but thousands of people like to read about the old days in which the rattle of muskets and war whoops of savages closely mingled.
¶ The Far West Library publishes stories of the West as it was, and no one who likes vigorous tales of the West can do better at any where near the price, than these splendid stories.
¶ They were all written by a friend of Mr. Cody who has had many narrow escapes in company with the famous “Buffalo Bill” and who knows that redoubtable warrior better than any other living man.
¶ Bound in exceptionally attractive covers and printed from good, clear, readable type.

We want you to become acquainted with the New Romance Library for its very name is fast becoming synonymous with first-class fiction.

Publishers Note
Notwithstanding the fact that the sales of magazines have increased tremendously during the past five or six years, the popularity of a good paper-covered novel, printed in attractive and convenient form, remains undiminished.
There are thousands of readers who do not care for magazines because the stories in them, as a rule, are short and just about the time they become interested in it, it ends and they are obliged to readjust their thoughts to a set of entirely different characters.
The S. & S. novel is long and complete and enables the reader to spend many hours of thorough enjoyment without doing any mental gymnastics. Our paper-covered books stand pre-eminent among up-to-date fiction. Every day sees a new copyrighted title added to the S. & S. lines, each one making them stronger, better and more invincible.
