CHOICE BOOKS.

_Superseding all previous dates._
WATCH-WORDS of the REVOLUTION:
Give the best book for the least money possible.
1,000,000 books, profit 1 cent each—$10,000, but 1,000 books, profit
$1.00 each—$1,000 only.
Publish books, only, that DESERVE to sell—merit wins in the end.
To make $1.00 and a friend is better than $5.00 profit.
“Push things” and “Fight it out on this line.”—U. S. Grant.
TERMS, FREIGHT, POSTAGE, ETC.
Prices Include cost of prepaying transportation by mail or express,
unless “at store” is specified. Formerly, prices were at store, always,
cost of transportation being added. The change is one of convenience
rather than of increase or of decrease, but on many books there is a
substantial reduction in price.
Stockholders or Bondholders of the Alden Publishing Co. are allowed a
_reduction_ from Catalogue prices of the amount indicated by the figures
in parenthesis; for instance: Alden’s Manifold Cyclopedia, per volume,
cloth 60c. (20c.) means 40 cents net to Stockholders. To avoid possible
misunderstanding, orders at _Stockholders’ prices must invariably_ be
accompanied by remittance, and by _Coupon_ or a _Certificate_ which is
supplied to Stockholders for that purpose. Terms for Stock will be found
elsewhere under the head of “Co-operative Publishing;” terms for Bonds
will be seen by copy of the Bond itself elsewhere printed.

Co-operative Publishing.
The Alden Publishing Co. was organized June 1888 with a view, on the
part of its promoters, to consolidating and strengthening various
interests which had previously been allied, but independent, and of
introducing to the fullest practicable extent the principle of
_co-operation_ for the _benefit of buyers_ of books. The amount of
capital paid up Feb. 4, 1889, was $61,167.00. A dividend of _five per
cent._ was paid Dec. 20, 1888. The business is recently growing very
rapidly, and the prospects are extremely encouraging.
The Alden Publishing Co.
The Company was incorporated June, 1888; authorized capital $500,000:
shares $1.00 each. The capital stock of the Company is sold at par for
cash, in lots of not less than five shares, and is _NOT_ assessible, and
there is absolutely no liability to stockholders whose shares are fully
paid for, under any circumstances, other than the liability for salaries
of employes, which is common to, we believe, all of the States, and is
practically no liability, salaries being paid weekly or fortnightly.
_All dividends_ will be paid _in cash_, but each Stockholder will be
allowed the privilege of taking instead of cash any books sold by the
Company to the amount of the dividend, at special reduced prices to
stockholders, which makes the dividend _equivalent to about 16 per
cent_. _Prices to Stockholders_ are the regular prices _reduced_ by the
amount indicated by the figures in parenthesis immediately following the
Catalogue price.
Stockholders have the privilege of purchasing at any time any books sold
by the Company at a small advance upon the cost, this privilege being
limited in amount to a sum not exceeding, in any one year, the par value
of the Stock owned by the purchaser. For prices to stockholders, see
catalogue.
Some limitation is, obviously, necessary; otherwise any one at enmity
with the enterprise, might, on an investment of $10.00, purchase an
unlimited quantity of books at reduced prices, and undersell us with our
own customers. The privilege is open to Stockholders immediately upon
investment being made.
What lover of good books can not afford to take at least _ten shares_?
How many friends might, with advantage, take a hundred, or more shares?
A million dollars capital would not suffice to manufacture the books our
patrons are urgently calling for: we are doing now an immense business
for the amount of our capital, which business will be increased as our
resources are enlarged.
76 Per Cent. Annual Dividends!
_The Literary Revolution_ has never assumed to furnish books at a price
below what would permit a fair profit, nor has it ever solicited
investments on the basis of expectation of fabulous returns. The facts
are simple, and the opportunities offered are based on common sense. If
you invest $10.00 you have reasonable expectation of not less than 10
per cent. annual dividend, but as a Stockholder you also have the
opportunity of purchasing with your dividend books at a price below what
they would cost one _NOT_ a Stockholder—that makes your dividend equal
to about _16 per cent_. Again, you, as a Stockholder, are allowed the
opportunity of purchasing, _if you want them_, during each year, books
at _special prices_ to an amount not greater than the par value of your
Stock which, as will be seen from the list of prices to Stockholders,
average (on our own publications) about _40 per cent._ below what the
same books would cost one not a Stockholder. In other words, you can buy
$16.00 worth of books for about $10.00, thus saving $6.00, which is
equal to 60 per cent. on your $10.00 stock, which, added to 16 per cent.
dividend, makes practically _76 per cent._ per annum on your investment.
If you own $100.00 or more Stock you have similar privileges to the
larger amount—if you don’t want so many books for your own use you can
accommodate your friends or you can sell the books at a profit.
Literary Revolution Savings-Bonds.
To meet the convenience of friends of the enterprise who hesitate to
make an investment of a character so permanent as in the Capital Stock
of the Company, a _Savings-Bond_ is now issued, payable three months,
six months or twelve months from its date, which affords every facility
given by the ownership of Stock, but pays approximately _60 per cent._
per annum, instead of 76 per cent. A copy of the Bond, elsewhere, gives
full particulars.
