More Alger Books are sold and they are more popular than any other line of Boys’ Books. Alger stands on the boy’s level, appeals to his heart, and what his heroes suggest or achieve is in the line of advancement to high standards. Alger’s Books go to the right spot every time. His characters are living boys who do things. Alger could look on life as boys do, and entered into their plans, hopes, and aspirations as they do.

The episodes are graphic, exciting, realistic. The tendency of Alger stories is to the formation of an honorable, manly character. They convey lessons of pluck, perseverance, and independence.

Their high moral character, clean, manly tone, and the wholesome lessons they teach without being goody-goody, make Alger Books as acceptable to the parents as to the boys.
