Children
of the Bible Series (Series 63)
A wonderful 2 page pamphlet
advertising the 10 books of the Children of the Bible Series has been
discovered within a Series #137 book (One Syllable Series).
This advertisement, as shown below, lists the titles and includes some
pictures that are found in several of the books. It is unclear as to
the exact date of this piece. The half vellum books were published for
a number of years beginning in 1905. The catalogue lists 25 cents as
the book price until the teens although the books themselves list 25
cents as well as 50 cents during this era.
I would guess 1905-1912 date.
Advertisements like this probably exist for most Altemus series of the
early 1900s and teens. They are exceedingly scarce.
