This is just the book that has long been wanted. It speaks in plain, honest words, revealing knowledge that everybody ought to know, upon subjects of as vital import to all as the very air we breathe. Neither those already married nor those contemplating the tying of the connubial knot, can afford to be another day with a knowledge of the
that are so truthfully and vividly explained in this work. It is just the very treatise to be in the hands of
EVERY MARRIED MAN OR WOMAN,
EVERY WIDOW OR WIDOWER, YOUNG OR OLD.
In fact, there is not a lady or gentleman in the world–young or old, single or married–who cannot glean a vast amount of useful information that will enlighten them on all points of Courtship and Marriage, as well as their ancillary duties, pleasures and obligations.
This is the most complete, and by far the most valuable work that has ever been brought out on this all-important subject. We beg of you, therefore, not to confound it with any of the worthless books heretofore issued, but remember the title and obtain “The Real Secret Art and Philosophy of Wooing, Winning and Wedding.”
This advertisement for Wooing, Winning and Wedding is from a 1895/1896 catalogue by The Union Publishing Co., Newark, N.J. Of course, there are at least four other books on courtship and marriage in the catalogue, each saying that it is the most complete and valuable work on the subject.
