Although but comparatively a new firm, he even now controls a vast approval sheet business that formerly belonged to us. He holds a lucrative position, and carries on his stamp business after business hours, simply for the purpose of completing his own collection, purchasing large collections at almost nothing and disposing of those he does not need at less than wholesale.

To the Stamp Collecting Public: Having lately bought out the entire stock of two stamp firms, and having received several large consignments of stamps, we have decided to increase the business of our Approval Sheet Department, and in order to accomplish this as soon as possible we make the following extraordinary offer: Send us 15 cents and we will send you by return of mail 1,000 mixed stamps, 1,000 gummed hinges, and a rare stamp valued at 5 cents. Besides the above we will send you several of our superior sheets of stamps on approval. W e allow- 3 3 per cent, commission on all foreign stamps and 25 per cent, commission on all U. S. 6tamps sold from our sheets. All sheets must be re turned in good order, with unsold stamps and proceeds, within 10 days. This offer is made in good faith and is no humbug, as the 1,000 mixed stamps are the same we have been selling for 20 cents, and the rare stamp is guaranteed genuine. As we import most of our stamps directly from foreign countries we are enabled to show the greatest number of varieties on our sheets. Always state what priced stamps you would pre fer the sheets to contain, as we have stamps valued from 1 cent to $3.00 each. Ap preciating that our agents’ success is our success, we always endeavor to make our sheets look as attractive as possible. Our sheets contain no torn or trashy stamps, but only such as we consider the best sellers. Every agent who remits $1.00 or above at one time receives as a prize a rare stamp valued at from 15 cents to $1.00, according to the amount sent. When convenient send reference.
