DURING THE HOLDING OF THE EXCHANGE THE MANAGERS WILL OFFER TO THE TRADE THE ENTIRE LISTS OF ALL THE HOUSES REPRESENTED, ON A CREDIT OF FOUR AND SIX MONTHS. These favorable terms, together with such special inducements as publishers may offer in reduction of prices, etc., are made only for the time specified. The publishers do not and will not extend their usual terms of credit, and it is only for this occasion that these unusual advantages of prices and credit are offered to the Trade, and it must be distinctly understood that immediately after the close of the Exchange the usual terms of credit and prices will be maintained. It is hoped, therefore, that the Purchasing Trade of the country will not only avail themselves of these peculiar advantages offered by the publishers through the Exchange (advantages that can not be obtained in any other way), but, at the same time, substantially aid the work of reform. The Managers are permitted to state that THE AMERICAN BOOK TRADE ASSOCIATION Earnestly desire that the Trade throughout the country should give its hearty and active support in establishing and maintaining the Exchange. This plan of sale is an essential feature of the great movement for reform. It has all the advantages of the Trade Sale, without any of the evils attendant upon that system.
