SELLING BOOKS BY SUBSCRIPTION.
THE AMERICAN PUBLISHING COMPANY
— OF —
HARTFORD, CONN.,
Are engaged in the publication of rare and valuable
Standard Works,
Selling them by
SUBSCRIPTION ONLY.
By this method they reach directly the whole reading public,
multiply their sales ten fold, and place the works in the hands of
thousands whose attention otherwise would not be called to them.
This enables the publishers not only to give honorable and remunerative
employment to a very large class of worthy persons acting
as agents, but to expend largely upon their books in their preparation
and publication, to illustrate them profusely and to sell
them at much lower prices than works of equal cost are sold by
the regular trade. They also are enabled by this method to maintain
an uniformity of price throughout the country, and to see
that all subscribers receive what they actually contract for.
THE AMERICAN PUBLISHING COMPANY
have universally given better books than they promised. They
look back with gratification over their list, and the unqualified praise
each volume has received from the press and the public. They
publish nothing but books worthy a place in the libraries of the
educated and the refined; and such books, by their system of
agents, they bring to the direct notice of almost every person in
the country. No recommendations are given to the public except
those sent from voluntary sources; and no unworthy means are
taken to procure them.
We Want Agents Throughout the Country.
The sale of our works is an honorable and praiseworthy employment,
and is particularly adapted to disabled Soldiers, aged
and other Clergymen having leisure hours, Teachers and Students
during vacation, &c., Invalids unable to endure hard physical labor,
Young Men who wish to travel and gather knowledge and experience
by contact with the world, and all who can bring industry,
perseverance, and a determined will to the work. Women who
can devote time to the work, often make the best of canvassers. Our
terms to agents are very liberal; we give exclusive territory to
operate in; Catalogues and Circulars sent free upon application.
