Love stories
A Book with a famous reputation. It is safe to say that no book,
illustrating the doings of children, has ever been published that has
reached the popularity enjoyed by "HELEN'S BABIES." Brilliantly written,
Habberton records in this volume some of the cutest, wittiest and most
amusing of childish sayings, whims and pranks, all at the expense of a
bachelor uncle. The book is elaborately illustrated, which greatly
assists the reader in appreciating page by page, Habberton's
masterpiece.
We guarantee that you will not suffer from "the blues" after reading
this book.

Mirthful Books Worth Reading!
Peck's Books of Humor
No author has achieved a greater national reputation for books of
genuine humor and mirth than GEORGE W. PECK, author of "Peck's Bad Boy
and His Pa."
We are fortunate to be able to offer, within everyone's reach, three of
his latest books. The titles are
Peck's Uncle Ike,
Peck's Sunbeams,
Peck's Red-Headed Boy.
By failing to procure any one of these books you lose an opportunity to
"laugh and grow fat." When you get one you will order the others.
