The United States Catalog

THIRD EDITION, 1912

This volume is an author, subject and title cat-
alog of about 150,000 American books in print
January 1, 1912, and of all books published since
January 1, 1905, whether in print or not.

There are about 450,000 entries in a single al-
phabet, with adequate cross-references.

Price, publisher, binding, edition, and, as far as possible, date of publication are given in the author entry for each book.

The volume contains 2,837 three column quarto pages, and is printed on thin, tough, opaque book paper. It is strongly bound in half morocco, in conformance with the specifications of the A. L. A. Binding Committee, and thumb indexed.

The Card Section of the Library of Congress has furnished the card numbers for all books for which Library of Congress cards have been issued. This feature enables the library to order these cards by number, thereby saving 80 cents per hundred.

The classification used is based on the best library practice, and the full names, subject headings and cross-references will be found a valuable aid in the cataloging of books.

All available government documents of general interest are included and are indexed by subjects.

Another valuable feature is the listing of bibliographies under the proper subject headings with the sub-head Bibliography to faciliate ready reference, for example, various lists of children's books will be found under Children's literature, sub-division Bibliography.

Since the discontinuance of the American Catalog, annual and three-year cumulations in January, 1912, the United States Catalog remains the only cumulated record of American books. It will be supplemented and kept continually up to date by annual and threeor five-yearly cumulations.

Printed Guide Cards

for the Card Catalog

NE of the many problems in connection with the card catalog is the

ON

guide card. It is difficult to letter guide cards in the typewriter and
when made a few at a time, some of those in the catalog are badly
worn while others are new and fresh, and those made at different times
are not uniform. Manuscript cards are never satisfactory. As the card cat-
alog grows it is necessary to add guides in order to preserve the balance and
this is usually left for a dull time which never comes.

We can now supply printed guide cards for libraries and offer a selection of
1,000 which are printed on the best quality of guide cards, center cut. In
making the selection of the headings, care has been taken to select subjects
or names for which search is often made and which will be about equidistant
in the average catalog.

The use of center-cut cards makes it possible for a librarian to select at ran-
dom from the list without reference to the appearance of the cards in the file.
Before choosing this card the matter was referred to librarians using our
printed cards and the majority favored its use while the others offered no
serious objections. Center-cut cards are growing in popularity and their use
is in harmony with the trend of library progress.

These guide cards are sold on the basis of 1c each, minimum order, 100 cards.
Libraries pay $6.00 a thousand for the blank cards, so that the additional cost
of printing is only at the rate of 40c a hundred, which is much less than the
cost of making by hand. The expense of these is so moderate that libraries
will not find it necessary to use old and worn out guide cards.

A list of subjects will be sent on request. In ordering simply
check subjects wanted and return the list. Headings marked * are the ones
recommended for first purchase.

We are making a very low rate on these cards, in the hope that their use will
become general and that large sales will warrant our adding other cards
to the list.

RECOMMENDATIONS

I consider the Guide Cards very useful and practical and they add greatly to the neat-
ness of the card catalog. They save time and are no more expensive than manuscript cards.
MATTIE FARGO, Cataloger,
Iowa State Teachers College.

We are ordering one set as a trial for we feel that they will be a great addition to the use-
fulness and appearance of our catalog,

The plan of subject headings is excellent.

DEALING AT AN OLD STAND

We all like to have our dealings with people we may know and can come face to face with, rather than a mysterious company or corporation of limited personal responsibility and no individuality.

We are a firm, established forty years, and have been in our own six-story building, where we have the largest plant of intaglio plates in the world, for twenty-eight of these years. All the work of printing and binding is done under our personal supervision. Our books are exactly as represented and we guarantee them. (Dun and Bradstreet have rated us A AA 1 for years.)

As to the desirability of the books themselves: The Department of Commerce and Labor has called us "the makers of the finest books in the world." The New York Herald once called us the "Tiffanys of publishers," and the New York Times has stated that we make "veritable editions de luxe," and our books have been winning medals since 1876.

Hundreds of thousands of purchasers are evidence that the prices are reasonable; and the fact that they buy again and again seems proof that the books are honestly and satisfactorily made. For example: Mr. George W. Vanderbilt has bought four sets of our Balzac; Mr. J. P. Morgan bought the first two sets of our fine edition of The Queens of England (all the sets of that edition have been sold). We made a fine Hugo and gave with each set a portfolio of duplicate plates; one of these gratis portfolios alone has sold at auction in London for more than the buyer paid us for the set.

For forty years, "at the old stand," we have been quietly making books as good as experience, conscientious work, and some taste could produce. To those who care to know something about our work we shall be glad to send an illustrated pamphlet that is not a mere catalogue but a thing of considerable literary and artistic interest.
