THE AMERICAN,
No. 119 SOUTH FOURTH St., PHILADELPHIA.
52 CENTS FOR 52 NUMBERS FOR 52 WEEKS.
_FOOTLIGHTS_,
that weekly illustrated paper published in Philadelphia, (pity, isn’t
it?) is a clean (moderately so) paper, chock full of such uninteresting
topics as interviews with actor and actress (bless ’em); book gossip,
news from Paris and London, (dear, old Lunnon), woman’s chatter, verse
and lots more of idiocy that only spoils white paper. It sells for five
cents a copy, or $2.00 a year. It has a big circulation (and that’s no
joke) and to make that circulation bigger yet we will mail you the paper
for the cost of postage—52 cents for 52 numbers for 52 weeks. Send the 52
any old way you want, but for Heaven’s sake address your letter right, so
no other paper gets it but
FOOTLIGHTS,
Philadelphia, Pa.
The Roycroft Printing Shop announces for immediate delivery an exquisite
edition of the Song of Songs: which is Solomon’s; being a Reprint of the
text together with a Study by Mr. Elbert Hubbard.
In this edition a most peculiar and pleasant effect is wrought by casting
the Song into dramatic form. The Study is sincere, but not serious, and
has been declared by several Learned Persons, to whom the proofsheets
have been submitted, to be a Work of Art. The Volume is thought a seemly
and precious gift from any Wife to any Husband.
The book is printed by hand, with rubrications and a specially designed
title page after the manner of the Venetian, on Ruisdael handmade paper.
The type was cast to the order of the Roycroft Shop, and is cut after one
of the earliest Roman faces. Probably no more beautiful type for book
printing was ever made, and for reasons known to lovers of books, this
publication will mark an era in the art of printing in America.
_Only six hundred copies, bound in antique boards, have been made and
are offered for sale at two dollars each, net. There are also twelve
copies printed on Japan vellum throughout, but which are all sold at five
dollars each. Every copy is numbered and signed by Mr. Hubbard. The type
has been distributed and no further edition will be printed._
