Nick matched his wits against those of the criminal and won out—but how he did so will hold your undivided interest. If your dealer cannot supply this book immediately, he will get it for you. STREET & SMITH CORPORATION 79 Seventh Avenue New York City Everybody Knows Horatio Alger But does everybody know that nearly all of his celebrated books may be had in paper covers at a most modest price? It would seem so, from the orders for the Alger books that are just rolling in. If you want to give your boy friends a big treat, ask any news dealer to sell you a few of the Alger books he has in stock. Big value in these days of high prices. STREET & SMITH CORPORATION 79 Seventh Avenue New York City A REQUEST Conditions due to the war have made it very difficult for us to keep in print all of the books listed in our catalogues. We still have about fifteen hundred different titles that we are in a position to supply. These represent the best books in our line. We could not afford, in the circumstances, to reprint any of the less popular works. We aim to keep in stock the works of such authors as Bertha Clay, Charles Garvice, May Agnes Fleming, Nicholas Carter, Mary J. Holmes, Mrs. Harriet Lewis, Horatio Alger, and the other famous authors who are represented in our line by ten or more titles. Therefore, if your dealer cannot supply you with exactly the book you want, you are almost sure to find in his stock another title by the same author, which you have not read. In short, we are asking you to take what your dealer can supply, rather than to insist upon just what you want. You won’t lose anything by such substitution, because the books by the authors named are very uniform in quality. In ordering Street & Smith novels by mail, it is advisable to make a choice of at least two titles for each book wanted, so as to give us an opportunity to substitute for titles that are now out of print. STREET & SMITH CORPORATION, 79-89 Seventh Avenue, New York City.
