To the County Superintendents of Education : Dear Sirs: Please give your pairon* to understand that State adopted text-boORs must bo sold to them at t ie prices stamped upon the backs of such books. If such books are sold at higher prices we have cause of action against bon is of publishers. The pub ishers are lequired to print i or stamp contract prices on the back ol each book to be sold in this State, and also the fact that i it is the Sou'h Carolina edition. ' It will bo well lor the people to , understand tbat it is best, not to | buy a book unless it has this stamp. If dealers purchase shelf ) worn or rel ou'id books irorn irresponsible jobbers they are lis.ble r to be imposed upon and these ' books will bo dead stock in transferring a business or in settling - with publishers. 5 '|>i : jL - n. . * tut? prices ?>" wie oiate auoptu ed books were fixed by com pel Ji> tive bidding.
