E employ thousands of Agents every year, and have good openings for a large number more, either men or women. One of our lady Agents lately reports a profit of $161.00 in ten days. One has made $34.00 in one day this spring. One has ordered one thou- sand books in the last few weeks. If you are out of employment or wish to make more than you are now making, send for one of our private Circulars. Below we give the titles of some of our books.
IMMANUEL,
Or The Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ, By ZACHARY EDDY, D. D.
LARGE OCTAVO, 756 PAGES.
This is the best book that has been published on this subject for the majority of readers. We shall be pleased to send you a Circular containing favorable notices from the leading clergymen and papers of the country.
The Laws of health in Relation to the human Form,
By DRS. BRINTON & NAPHEYS.
This work is just out and is meeting with a very large sale. It contains about 100 Recipes in relation to health and the toilet, that are invaluable to any family, and can be prepared at a trifling cost. We have Agents who are order- ing from one hundred to one thousand copies each, and it is probably as great a success as any book offered for a long time.
Old Agents who wish to make money will certainly examine this book before taking an agency for any other.
We publish three of MRS. SPENCER's books,
TRIED AND TRUE,
ORA, THE LOST WIFE,
RIGHT AND WRONG.
Nearly 50,000 of these books have been sold in a short time and they are now selling very rapidly. We have Agents who have sold one hundred copies a week this winter and spring.
Send for a Circular before Engaging for any other Book.
We have a large list of Chromos and Engravings but have no room to de- scribe them. We shall add to our stock constantly, and you can always be sure of finding a good book, Chromo or Engraving, among our list, and good terri- tory for canvassing. For particulars address
