Edward S. Ellis
POPULAR BOYS' BOOKS
12mo, Cloth

Purely American in scene, plot, motives, and characters, the copyright
works of Edward S. Ellis have been deservedly popular with the youth
of America. In a community where every native-born boy can aspire to
the highest offices, such a book as Ellis' "From the Throttle to the
President's Chair," detailing the progress of the sturdy son of the
people from locomotive engigineer to the presidency of a great
railroad, must always be popular. The youth of the land which boasts
of a Vanderbilt will ever desire such books, and naturally will desire
stories of their native land before wandering over foreign climes.

The volumes of this series are all copyright, printed from large, new
type, on good paper, and are handsomely bound in cloth, stamped with
appropriate designs. Price $1.00.
