Horatio Alger is to boys what Charles Dickens is to grown-ups. His work is just as popular to-day as it was years ago. The books have a quality, the value of which is beyond computation. There are legions of boys of foreign parents who are being helped along the road to true Americanism by reading these books which are so peculiarly American in tone that the reader cannot fail to absorb some of the spirit of fair play and clean living which is so characteristically American. In this list will be included certain books by Edward Stratemeyer, Oliver Optic, and other authors who wrote the Alger type of stories, which are equal in interest and wholesomeness with those written by the famous author after which this great line of books for boys is named. _ALL TITLES ALWAYS IN PRINT_ 1--Driven From Home By Horatio Alger, Jr. 2--A Cousin’s Conspiracy By Horatio Alger, Jr. 3--Ned Newton By Horatio Alger, Jr. 4--Andy Gordon By Horatio Alger, Jr. 5--Tony, the Tramp By Horatio Alger, Jr. 6--The Five Hundred Dollar Check By Horatio Alger, Jr. 7--Helping Himself By Horatio Alger, Jr. 8--Making His Way By Horatio Alger, Jr. 9--Try and Trust By Horatio Alger, Jr. 10--Only an Irish Boy By Horatio Alger, Jr. 11--Jed, the Poorhouse Boy By Horatio Alger, Jr. 12--Chester Rand By Horatio Alger, Jr. 13--Grit, the Young Boatman of Pine Point By Horatio Alger, Jr. 14--Joe’s Luck By Horatio Alger, Jr. 15--From Farm Boy to Senator By Horatio Alger, Jr. 16--The Young Outlaw By Horatio Alger, Jr. 17--Jack’s Ward By Horatio Alger, Jr. 18--Dean Dunham By Horatio Alger, Jr. 19--In a New World By Horatio Alger, Jr. 20--Both Sides of the Continent By Horatio Alger, Jr.
