“A Splendid Work.
We were shown this week by Mr. W.E. Pickens, the agent, ‘Hill’s Manual of Social and Business Forms,’ by Thos. E. Hill, a book containing about 500 pages, and one that will be found invaluable to all who purchase. It is beautifully bound in cloth, morocco and Russian leather, and is sold on subscription, only, at the low price of $8.00; $7.00, $6.50 and $6.00. The book is dedicated to the millions who would easily and gracefully express the right thought. Mr. Pickens is canvassing the county for subscribers to the work, and will show you the specimen copies. Examine it and order a copy.”
