PUBLISH BIBLES, COMMENTARIES, SINGING BOOKS, HYMN BOOKS, DICTIONARIES, BIOGRAPHIES, GIFT BOOKS, ETC.,
Making some four hundred volumes, besides a great variety of other works in the departments of Biblical Literature, Experimental and Practical Religion, etc., etc., etc. Also more than twelve hundred bound volumes of
SABBATH – SCHOOL LIBRARY BOOKS
THE LARGEST LIST PRINTED IN THIS COUNTRY
Besides multitudes of Question Books, Hymn Books, Picture Books, Catechisms, Cards, and Tracts, adapted to children of all ranks and ages. They are ordered and prized by schools of all denominations. Then we have a large list of other works, beautifully illustrated, for gift-books for children and youth, which are equal to any in the land.
Shall Methodists use Methodist books and periodicals, or purchase of other denominations?
The Charge that our Sabbath-school books are dearer than those of the American Sunday-School Union is not true, if we except their ten dollar and smaller libraries, which they sell at more than double their library price when ordered from their General Catalogue. Be not deceived.
Agents. – All the traveling ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church who are in full connection are regularly authorized agents of the Methodist Book Concern. Preachers on trial in the conferences, and local preachers employed to fill vacant appointments, who act as agents for periodicals and purchase of books, are requested to forward the cash with their orders, or, if they wish an account opened, to send a recommendation from the presiding elder of the district. A little reflection will show the propriety of this, as the brethren referred to are generally entire strangers to the Book Agents. Presiding elders will please furnish a list of those they feel willing to recommend at an early period after the session of their conference.
Discounts to Preachers. – On General Catalogue and Tract Books we all 30 per cent, for cash, and 20 per cent on time.
Bibles, 20 per cent for chas, and 12 ½ per cent on time.
Books on Sale from other publishers, from 10 to 20 per cent on time, and from 20 to 30 per cent for cash.
Sunday-school Books. – No discount is allowed preachers on these books, except on cash bills of $50 and upward, when we will allow 10 per cent.
