Eagle Series
of Popular Fiction
PRINCIPALLY COPYRIGHTS
ELEGANT COLORED COVERS

This is the pioneer line of copyright novels. Its popularity has increased with every number, until, at the present time it stands unrivalled as regards sales and contents.

It is composed, mainly, of popular copyrighted titles which cannot be had in any other lines, at any price. The authors, as far as literary ability and reputation are concerned, represent the foremost men and women of their time. The books, without exception, are of entrancing interest and manifestly those most desired by the American reading public. A purchase of two or three of these books, at random, will make you a firm believer that there is no line of novels which can compare favorably with the Eagle Series.
