THE summary of our publishing work for 1909 is now practically complete, and shows a grand total of $1,420,000 sales during the year, a gain of $130,000 over the preceding year.

With this announcement of the past year's work, it may be interesting to our readers to take another glance at the summary of our publishing work from its beginning, which we give below in decades:—
