---of making many books there is no end---"

[graphic]

YOU can't read them all. It wouldn't be worth while if you could. All you would gain would be a mighty headache and a great weariness like that which inspired Ecclesiastes to complain: "of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh!"

But even a busy man can read most of the good
ones. That is, if he can find out what the good ones
are. The average Chicago man and woman do read
them, as book sale figures show.

In Chicago the man in business and the woman in
the home turn to the Wednesday Book Page of The
Chicago Daily News to guide them to good reading.
Keith Preston and his able group of assistants have
become the leading authorities in their field on the
"Who's Who" and "What's What" of Books and
Bookmen.

Publishers are finding that the way to make one
book stand out among thousands is to bring its
merits to the attention of the public, too busy to
read any but the best, by consistent advertising in
mediums of recognized authority.

In Chicago the effective medium for this purpose is
The Daily News.
