The set was paid in full March 21st of that year. As background to this transaction we find that in the 1870s Collier started work as a salesman for P. J. Kenedy publisher of books for the Roman Catholic market. When Collier wanted to boost sales by offering books on a subscription plan it led to a disagreement with Kenedy so Collier left to start his own subscription service. P. F. Collier & Son began in 1875 expanding into the largest subscription house in America with sales of 30 million books during the 1900–1910 decade."
