Bound to Succeed Series by Edward Stratemeyer

Published by The Merriam Company
1. Richard Dare's Venture; or, Striking Out for Himself 1894
2. Oliver Bright's Search; or, The Mystery of a Mine 1895

Merriam published editions of these two titles.

I have not seen as of yet an imprint on the title page of #1 that noted St. Paul. If this title page exists, it would predate the title page with Fifth Avenue noted.

Advertisements by Merriam listed #3 in the series "Larry the Wanderer; or, The Polishing of a Rolling Stone" as being "in press". Merriam never published this book but Lee and Shepard did in 1904.

Cloth. Tan. Black lettering and red decoration on the cover. Gilt lettering on the spine. 7.875" x 5.75".
