IMPORTANT—READ CAREFULLY
This list of books for the young has been carefully compiled from
various authoritive lists of what are regarded as the best books by the
children’s departments.of the Public Libraries of Pittsburg and Buffalo,
the list prepared by the Oregon Library Commission and the Department
of Education of Minnesota, the books recommended by the Wisconsin
Department of Public Instruction and the excellent Suggestive List of
Children’s Books compiled by Helen Theresa Kennedy formerly of the
Wisconsin Library School.
This catalog is therefore a reliable guide to books of value and
such as may be justly regarded as the treasures of juvenile literature.
Only books of tested merit, interest and literary purity find a place in
' this list. With but few exceptions all the old favorites in story, myth
rs
™ and history, together with what is best in modern literature for the
young, are included in this catalog.
ABOUT EDITIONS.
Many books are issued in different, editions. This is especially
true of standard books not protected by copyright. It need hardly be
stated that some editions of these books are practically worthless for
library purposes. In this catalog only such editions are listed as have
been approved for library use and the careful buyer should not be mis-
led by differences in prices in making comparisons. For example, such
a book as The Pilgrim’s Progress in cloth binding may be purchased at
almost any price, ranging from 25 cents upward. The edition. we fur-
nish is prepared expressly for younger readers and the details of press-
work, type and binding are in all respects suitable for library purposes
and it contains explanatory notes, etc. The same may be said of many
other standard works and we are sure the trained librarian fully realizes
the importance of suitable editions.
VALUE OF THE CATALOG.
‘This catalog is distinctive in several a particulars:
First. It classifies the books.
Second. At the left of each title is given the grade or grades for
which each book is best suited. This should be helpful in making
selections.
Third. Nearly all the books are described by short comment and
these notes are intended (without laudation), to be descriptive of their
seope and usefulness.
Fourth. The publisher’s list price and the wholesale price to li-
braries are indicated after each title. This should prove a most val-
uable feature as the purchaser of books usually is restricted to a cer-
tain amount to be expended and in making up orders from other cata-
logs it has been difficult to decide how many books could be selected.
The net prices quoted are probably lower than the books could be
purchased for elsewhere and these low prices are given to save in-
tending purchasers the trouble of submitting large lists for quotations
It is also intended that these quotations will make it unnecessary for
us, in a large measure, to give quotations on such lists as the prices
given in this catalog are the best we can give under any circumstances.
BOOKS NOT LISTED.
Our catalogs represent but a small part of the books Carried in
stock. We supply any books wanted whether in our catalog or not at
the same favorable rates. Our customers should feel no hesitancy in
placing all their orders with us for books of every kind and description,
including school or college text books of the various educational pub-
lishers.
ABOUT OUR TERMS.
The net prices quoted in this catalog are, of course, intended for
orders of some magnitude. The margin of profit being very small, it
is not expected that we shall be called upon to supply single copies at
the rates at which we are offering the books. It sometimes happens,
however, that school officers, teachers, librarians and others intersted
in educational or library work may at times want only one or more
books and naturally désire te obtain the lowest possible price. We
have decided that in such cases we shail accept orders for single copies
or in quantity at our special net prices provided a remittance sufficient
to cover the price of. the book or books is sent with the orders. If the
books are to be sent by mail or book-rate express the cost of trans-
portation must be included in the remittance. Should it happen that
more than enough is remitted to cover transportation the surplus will
be promptly returned. Small parcels of books will be sent by
express whenever possible. Large orders should be sent by freight.
Orders of books for schools and libraries will be promptly filled
without remittance accompanying same provided the orders are signed
by persons authorized to sign them. It is however, expected, in view
of the low prices at.which the books are supplied, that bills will be
paid as soon as books are received and found satisfactory.
INQUIRIES.
We are always glad to hear from our friends concerning any book
or books that may be wanted no matter when or where published. It
gives us pleasure to provide the information—promptly and intelli-
gently. We solicit your inquiries.
If more convenient, this catalog may be used to make up orders.
The books that are, wanted may be checked in the catalog and the
catalog mailed to us. When this is done we shall immediately mail
another copy of the catalog to the person sending us the order. Addi-
tional copies of this catalog for any legitimate use, will be mailed on
request.

LIBRARY SUPPLIES
Card Catalogs
We were among the first to construct
ecard catalog equipments, especially adapt-
ed to the requirements of school libraries,
and it is and has been our aim to furnish
materials that are first class in every re-
spect, and that will give complete satisfac-
tion. Our catalog cards are made from
strong linen stock that will stand the test
of long service. Our method of adjusting
the round rods to hold perforated cards in
the drawer of the cabinet saves the librar-
ian or teacher much annoyance as the rods
cannot be easily removed by children.
There are imitations of our Card Catalog
outfits at little lower prices, but these are
not cheap at any price.

For cabinets of larger capacity we fur-

specify No. 60 LOWER.
The cut shows an eight-drawer cabinet
constructed by adding three two-drawer
sections No. 60 lower to the top two-draw-
er section No 60. A library of 400 books
will require approximately a cabinet of
four drawers, which means one two-draw-
er section No. 70 and one two-drawer sec-
tion No. 60 lower. From this data it is easy
to estimate the capacity in number of
drawers required for any library by count-
ing the books and allowing for accessions.

Goon Books are to the 1 young 0
mind what the warming sun and
_the refreshing rain of spring are
to the seeds which have: lain dor-
mant in the frosts of winter. They
are more, for they may save from
that which is worse than death, as well as ~ os
bless with that which is better than life. Bed
