There is not a single boy who will not be benefited by these stories if he reads them. They are clean, wholesome, and in every way fit for boys. Price Ten Cents. New Titles Issued Regularly.

Notes / Commentary:	List of stories and dates taken from Street & Smith ledgers from the Street & Smith archives at Syracuse University. The ledger shows the series title toe be "Harkaway Series." The issues examined by LeBlanc were from No. 7 to No. 24 and show the series title to be "Jack Harkaway Stories." The first few issues may indeed have been titled "Harkaway Series," but LeBlanc personally doubted it. Someone holding the first few issues could confirm the series name from the beginning.
