TO SUNDAY-SCHOOL TEACHERS:--
_Ladies and Gentlemen_,--Because we know that to you it is, and should be, largely entrusted to advise our young people in regard to their reading, because you are powerful guardians of "literature for the young," we invite you to examine the periodicals we publish monthly for children and young folks: =Wide Awake=, =The Pansy=, =Our Little Men and Women=, and =Babyland=. We will supply you with specimens of these, if you will call, or if you will write us. These magazines are in the watchful and trained care of their original editors, and the same purity, strength, and sparkle characterize each number from month to month, from year to year. The highest order of fiction, the most inspiring, lifting, and refining poetry, the most instructive lessons in history and natural science, the most entertaining records of travel and adventure, the finest literary and biographical articles, appear in their pages. _The Congregationalist_ said last week of WIDE AWAKE, that it "sets its readers to thinking for themselves along many different lines. It has solved the problem how to proportion fun and soberness best in such a publication better than any of its rivals." _Literary Life_, after saying that "WIDE AWAKE is the best monthly magazine for young folks published in the country," goes on to say of it, "Next to watching Nature herself, it is the finest educational work we ever have seen for children. A child made happy by such a work will possess an intelligence and richness of mind beyond the mere range of school lessons." We do indeed confidently trust that should you direct your classes to our magazines, you will find them a good means of preparation of hearts and minds for your own important work. You will find the magazines graded suitably for the use of infant classes, and upwards.
Very truly yours, D. LOTHROP & CO., _Publishers_.
(_From the N. Y. Tribune._)
Among publishers who have carried into their work serious convictions as to their duty to the public in the matter of supplying good literature, and who have resolutely resisted all temptations in the more lucrative direction of that which is simply sensational, an honorable place may be claimed for D. Lothrop & Co., who have accomplished in the United States a work second to that of no publishing-house.
This work was undertaken by D. Lothrop & Co. years ago. With the firm conviction that ultimate success would attend their efforts, they have employed the pens of scores of those who have shared their convictions, including some of the best-known authors at home and abroad, and have sent out an ever-increasing stream of pure, attractive, and instructive literature, which has reached every part of the land, and made their name famous everywhere.
In a general way the public are familiar with the aims of this house, and have come to regard its imprint upon a book as a guaranty of excellent in all essential qualities.

ALL EXCELSIOR PRESSES use ordinary printers' type, as made in any part of the world. No EXCELSIOR PRESS is _cheaply_ made, but has _steel_ bearings, _best_ of screws, etc. =All presses print within 1/8 inch of full size of chase as screws are used to lock up the forms.=
Every Excelsior Press is fully warranted in every respect. With every press we send out is included full printed instructions on every point, by which any purchaser can manage type-setting, press-work, etc., successfully and satisfactorily.
=The Outfits must be sent by Express at receiver's expense.=
