By EDWARD STRATEMEYER

_LARRY THE WANDERER_ _Or The Rise of a Nobody_

Cloth Illustrated Price $1.00

This is a plain tale of everyday life, written especially for boys and girls who do not care particularly for stories with a historical or geographical background. Larry is a youth who has been knocked around from pillar to post for a number of years. The unravelling of the curious mystery which surrounds the lad’s identity makes good reading.

_JOE, THE SURVEYOR_ _Or The Value of a Lost Claim_

This story relates the trials and triumphs of a sturdy country youth, who is compelled, by the force of circumstances, to go forth into the world and earn, not alone his own living, but also support for his twin sister and his invalid father.

_TWO YOUNG LUMBERMEN_ _Or From Maine to Oregon for Fortune_

320 pages Cloth Illustrated Price $1.25

A splendid story, the scene shifting from Maine to Michigan and the Great Lakes, and then to the Columbia and the Great Northwest. The heroes are two sturdy youths who have been brought up among the lumbermen of their native State, and who strike out in an honest endeavor to better their condition. An ideal volume for every wide-awake American who wishes to know what our great lumber industry is to-day.

Mr. Stratemeyer’s books are not only entertaining but instructive.――_Daily Press, Portland, Me._
