This series was published by Henry A. Sumner & Co, beginning in 1881.
Although Henry A. Sumner & Co. booklists show "Earning and
Spending" as the the first title in this series, it appears that this
volume was not published and that it is actually the subtitle for
volume #4- "The Two Homes". But of note, Sumner ads do advertise this
series for sale as a four volume boxed set. This will need to be
clarified in the future.
This series was previously published by Graves and Young as
well as Henry A. Young & Co. Subsequently N. Tibbals & Sons
printed this series.
The Henry A. Young & Co. "Leslie Series" has a different book list
from the Sumner list that is shown here. The Young list has five books
and includes "Worth and Wealth" and "Secret of Success" but not
"Earning and Spending".
Graves & Young/ Henry A. Young & Co. published "The Two Homes; or Earning and Spending"
The cover format is the same as seen in the “Sweet Clover Stories”.
Cloth. Various colors. Line drawn picture with silver gilt on the cover. Black and gilt on the spine. 7.5" x 5.0".
