HOW ISIT , DONE ? A rather remarkable literary combination - nation has been brought to the attention of the reading public by a great New York Publishing house. It consists in this : Such standard works as Balzac's "Human Comedy" , in three superb volumes - umes and bound in best English Cloth , are delivered at subscriber's residence on payment of $ t.oo. , Besides this , that brightest and pleas- antest of all the illustrated journals , ONCE \VEEK , is regularly mailed to subscriber's address. Every month , fifty - ty cents is collected at the subscriber's residence or place of business , until the total amount , $5.00 , is paid in full. The three volumes mentioned are easily - ily worth $5.00 , and are far superior to the average three volumes sold for $5.oo cash. But the subscriber may choose from a list of more than twenty standard works , all cloth bound and fit for any library. The list includes the works of Scott , Milton , Dante , Byron , Moore , Gerald , Griffin , Dean Swift , Carleton , Baum , Oliver Goldsmith , Cervantes , "Don Quixote" , Lever's "Handy Andy" , and a number of other choice volumes , all in best English Cloth. In the case of Milton , Dante and a few others the publisher has turned out some striking and highly ornamental centre table volumes. How the publisher makes such terms , especially in view of the high quality of ONCE A WEEK , that is among our most excellent exchanges-this is something to be explained only on the theory of a very large subscription list. A full explanation of this $5.00 annual subscription-payable on your own terms , practically-will be sent if you address "ONCE A WEEK" , 523 W. Thirteenth - teenth Street , New York.
