The Alden Catalogue of Choice Books, May 30, 1889

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: Aldens 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. 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. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
